Evan Peters is a famously awarded American actor who can be seen in many of the industry’s biggest hits. Is he gay, and what sparked the rumors? We have all the answers here. 

Who Is Evan Peters?

Evan Thomas Peters was born on January 20, 1987, to German parents Julie and Phillip Peters in St. Louis, Missouri. He was raised catholic and attended catholic school with his two other siblings, Andrew and Michelle.

Peters moved to Grand Blanc, Michigan, in 2001, where he started a modeling career and took a couple of acting classes at Grand Blanc Community High School. A year later, he moved with his mother to Los Angeles, California, to pursue his acting career. 

He debuted in the 2004 drama film “Clipping Adam.” Peters gained wide recognition for playing multiple roles over ten seasons in Ryan Murphy’s FX anthology series “American Horror Story” from 2011 to 2021. 

Eschewing roles typically reserved for emerging, young stars, Peters has since been known for portraying rebels and outcasts who survived outside the fringes of social norms. He has been featured in other big Hollywood movies such as Marvel’s “X-men” and Netflix’s miniseries “Monster-Dahmer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” 

The actor is estimated to have a net worth of about $5 million. 

Is Evan Peters Gay? 

Evan Peters is not gay, and he identifies as a straight man. He has dated a couple of female celebrities over the years, and there is no reported evidence of him being gay. 

Rumors of the actor being gay are thanks to a couple of gay roles the actor played over the years. Many fans believe a straight man can not play such roles so effortlessly. 

What Gay Roles Has Evan Peters Played? 

Evan Peters portrayed the highest number of characters in “American Horror Story,” with 16 overall characters. Over the ten seasons, he embodied four LGBT characters; Edward Philippe Mott, Kai Anderson, Gallant, and Jeff. 

In Ryan Murphy’s “Pose,” Peters played Stan Bowes, a real estate mogul cheating on his wife with a transgender prostitute. Most recently, he played his critically acclaimed lead as Jeffrey Dahmer, a gay serial killer in America whose focus was killing gay black men in the miniseries, “Monster-Dahmer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”

All these roles played by the actor have continued to fuel the rumors doubting his sexuality over the years. Peters, however, has expressed great respect and admiration for the LGBTQ+ community. 

In an interview with GQ, the actor spoke about working on a set with majorly queer staff and actors. He talked about how much he appreciated the rich diversity and how he had to learn a lot while portraying the role of Stan Bowes. He said:

“Thus [it] is a whole world and culture that I knew nothing about. It has been a massive learning experience and I have grown a lot. I’ve learned a lot from the trans community. They have to deal with way bigger problems than anything I have ever had to deal with. It just makes me humbled”.

In the same interview, Peters addressed the rumors about his sexuality and confirmed that he is a straight man and not gay. 

Evan Peters Dating History

Peters has been romantically involved with a few Hollywood sweethearts and celebrities. Here’s everything we know about the star’s dating history. 

Pixie Geldof

British model and singer Pixie Geldof and Peters were first linked together when they were spotted holding hands and kissing at Coachella in 2010. They split up the following year due to unreported reasons.

Alexia Quinn

The two first met in 2011 while working on a play called “Living at Home” and started dating shortly after. They split soon after Peter’s birthday in 2012. 

Emma Roberts

Shortly after his split from Alexia Quinn, Peters got involved with Emma Roberts, actress, and niece of famous Hollywood star Julia Roberts. The two first met on the “Adult World” set in 2012 and started dating shortly after production wrapped. They later went on to play love interests in the third and fourth seasons of “American Horror Story.”

They faced many breakups and makeups over the years, including an incident of speculated domestic violence in 2013. Peters and Emma allegedly got into a fight that left Peters with a broken nose and a massive bite from Emma. 

Neighbors called the police, and Emma got arrested but was released some hours later. About seven months after the incident, the two got engaged in 2014, but they ended their engagement in 2019 after seven years together.

Halsey

A couple of months after his relationship with Emma ended, Peters was romantically linked to American singer Halsey during an outing to Six Flags Magic Mountain in September 2019. They then made their first public appearance as a couple for the “American Horror Story” 100th episode party in October of that same year.

Halsey had reportedly always had a crush on the “X-Men” star as she had previously expressed her love for the actor via social media as early as 2012. Sadly, In March 2020, Halsey removed all pictures of Peters from their Instagram, suggesting that the pair had broken up.  

Peters is reportedly single and has focused on his career and upcoming projects. He is rumored to appear in Marvel’s new season of “WandaVision.”
