“I still identify as a gay man, but on the spectrum, I would say I’m 75% gay,” he explained.

Underwood also admitted that there is a possibility for him to still have “an attraction and appreciation and emotional connection” with women. However, that is not something he would want to pursue.

The reality star further expressed that he’s always wanted a life partner, and he now has that with Jordan. Underwood also noted that his past relationships with women made him a “better partner” for his husband.

  1. I don’t get the Colton hate. I’m sure there are many people who can relate to his attempt to suppress his same-sex feelings and try to become straight. There are many people like him who remain in the closet but he made the courageous decision not to stay there.
