In an interview with Attitude Magazine, Shayne said that he get called gay all the time, and it doesn’t bother him because he is very thick skinned. He explains,
“I get called gay all the time. Normally, from a jealous boyfriend of a girl who’s a fan or a group of guys in a pub shouting at me because I’m a pop-star.”
He further explained the nature of those who call him gay,
“It doesn’t bother me. I am very thick skinned and can handle situations very well. Plus half of the idiots shouting abuse are probably hiding in the closet and fancy me as well.”
He was also sure that even if he was a gay as per the rumors, his family would be all right with it.
“I’ve always known I was straight thanks to my brother’s collection of magazines. I love boobs . If I were gay my family are amazing and wouldn’t shut out anyone. They’d never have a problem if any of my family said they were gay. Only welcoming arms full of love!”
Well, knowing that Shayne is not a gay was a relief, wasn’t it? And the way he came clear about the rumors was even more interesting and impressive. Now that we know he is not a gay, let’s head towards finding if he has a girlfriend or not.

According to a source, the couple started dating in this March shortly after Sophie separated with her husband. The source proclaims that Sophie and Shayne are frequently sighted these days.
Sophie Austin said to mirror.co.uk,
"We’ve been best friends for so many years and I will always care for him dearly.”
However, another source proclaims that the couple split just about a week after their dating as girlfriend and boyfriend news fired up in the media. Is this because the couple wanted to keep their relationship low profiled or did she just wanted to take a break before getting into another relationship.
