Is Drake gay?

Based on his past relationships, Drake Bell’s sexual orientation is straight. However, Bell came under fire after making a transphobic tweet in reaction to Caitlyn Jenner’s public debut in 2015. After the backlash, the former Nickelodeon star quickly deleted the tweet claiming it had been misinterpreted.

Married? – woman

Currently, the “Drake and Josh” star is not married. Even though he’s had a long list of famous girlfriends, he has yet to tie the knot. He was the closest to marrying American actress Paydin Lopachin. Their relationship lasted 5 years and they got engaged. However, they never made it to the altar.
