With an impressive 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Tyler Childers is without a doubt one of the biggest Folk and Country singers on the scene today. Earlier this year, Childers released a single from his most recent album along with a music video. The song, titled “In Your Love”, has subsequently caused fans to question the singer’s sexuality.
Where has this rumor come from?
“In Your Love” is the second to last track on Childers’ sixth album, Rustin in the Rain, released last month. However, the song and music video for the track was released earlier in August. The music video tells the story of two male coal miners in the 1950s who fall in love and move to the countryside to escape the abuse of their fellow workmen who refuse to accept them.
It seems that people have made the classic mistake of assuming that just because someone supports the LGBTQ+ community, they must be a part of it themselves. While the music video tells a beautiful if tragic story, it doesn’t necessarily reflect Childers’ personal life (he wasn’t a coal miner in the 1950s, in case you were wondering).
Tyler Childers’ current relationship
Childers is actually married and has been for eight years now. In 2015, he married Senora May, who is also a pretty well-known folk and country artist. Since their marriage, both artists have grown a great deal in the industry. While Childers has been making music for well over a decade, his first real success came in 2017, two years after his marriage to Senora May. In April 2022, the pair announced that they were expecting a child.
Not much is known about Childers’ past relationships. The singer has never come out and openly mentioned having dated men in the past, so based on the information we have, it’s probably safe to say that Childers is not gay.
