Is Froy Gutierrez Gay? The Actor Keeps His Love Life Secret Though He Was Linked to Richard Madden

Froy Gutierrez’s love life and sexuality have been a subject of interest in recent years, especially since the young actor struck a friendship with fellow star Richard Madden. The two have been living together in Los Angeles since 2020.

Texas native Froy Gutierrez drew his first breath on April 27, 1998, born to an American mother and a Mexican father. He became interested in acting while in school and eventually joined the Dallas Children’s Theater.

There, his talents caught the right people’s attention, and so began his onscreen career. Gutierrez debuted as Charlie Huggins on the Nickelodeon comedy series “Bella and the Bulldogs” in 2015.

He took more brief parts in “The Goldbergs” and “One Day at a Time,” before booking his first film, “A Cowgirl’s Story,” in 2017. That year, he also starred in the last season of “Teen Wolf,” opposite Tyler Posey and Dylan O’Brien.

Fans may recognize him from the award-winning mystery series “Cruel Summer,” opposite Olivia Holt and Harley Quinn Smith. He starred alongside Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker in 2022’s “Hocus Pocus 2.”

Gutierrez is also a musician, who released his debut single, “Fix Me,” in 2019. And as he becomes a familiar face onscreen, the 25-year-old’s love life and sexuality continue to pique fans’ interest.

In May 2020, news broke that Gutierrez was co-habiting with Hollywood star Richard Madden in Emilia Clarke‘s two-bedroom luxury pad in Los Angeles. The actress acquired the property in 2016 and began renting it out in 2018 after moving back to London.

Gutierrez and Madden had been seen spending time together a few times before then and are believed to be good friends. In April 2021, paparazzi spotted them walking through Hampstead Heath in London on their way to enjoy a picnic.

The two also enjoyed a vacation in January 2022 and hung out in Italy during the Giffoni Film Festival in July of that year. Before living with Gutierrez, Madden co-habited with “13 Reasons Why” star Brandon Flynn.

Madden and Flynn also shared a place in Los Angeles, but their relationship reportedly ended sourly. When asked about the falling out or the nature of their relationship (after it was implied it was romantic), he answered:

“I just keep my personal life personal. I’ve never talked about my relationships.”

Much like Madden, Gutierrez has guarded his privacy. Although he is active on social media, his pages reveal little about his personal life. Still, fans have continued speculating about his dating history and sexual identity.

On Twitter user wrote, “Froy Gutierrez acted in the last season of teen wolf VERY HOT (also gay). (sic)” Another said, “Brandon Flynn and Miles Heizer are gay but is Froy Gutierrez bi? (sic)” The young actor is yet to address the rumors.

Gutierrez grew up surrounded by the kind of characters he often plays; as he once recalled, “Growing up, I was surrounded by these very macho boys that would bully me. I was afraid of them, so as an actor, I know what that looks like.”

His experiences being attacked by those bullies helped him portray violent young men in “Hocus Pocus 2” and “Cruel Summer.” However, they couldn’t be more different from the kind person he imagined himself to be.

Despite being cast in such roles, he noted, “I see myself as a very geeky, awkward, shy person.” Gutierrez added that overcompensating to put out “this very masculine idea” of himself is something he never felt the need to do.
