When Sean spoke about the marriage rights of gay and lesbian marriages, the question about him getting married struck the mind his ardent fans. So is he married, or is yet to tie the holy knot?
Well, the answer to the question lies within Sean himself, as he has successfully maintained a tight guard over his personal life. Till this date, he remains single in the eye of the public, but the possibility of him romancing a woman in secret cannot be eliminated.
But when a celebrity does not have a woman to flaunt, then it is normal for him to be conjectured as a gay, and when he supports the gay and lesbian rights, then the suspect could be stronger. But can anyone be called gay just because he raises his voice for gay and lesbian rights?
The answer remains a straight NO until any confirmation from Sean himself.
