Engaged To Commercial Director; Wedding Plans?
With the long confusion about his sexuality, Ollie Locke has finally come out as gay.
He identified himself as bisexual since 2011 and had dated many girlfriends in the past but never dated any guy in his life. While talking with Celebrity Big Brother, he even told that he never had a boyfriend despite being a bisexual. Also, in an interview with Attitude magazine, he told;
“I’ve never slept with a guy. This is the first time I’ve ever said it on television, but it’s done. I’ve never slept with a guy in my life. I think everyone kind of assumes that I have.”
But on 25 July 2016, while promoting the series of ‘Made in Chelsea,’ he confirmed himself as a gay man for the first time. After breaking up with his ex-girlfriend, Catherine Louise, he showed his interest to date men. In an interview, he explained;
“I lived with a woman last year when I was off camera and we had two dogs together. Then when we broke up in December, I thought, that’s it now, I think I’m now gay.”
Lucky is Ollie, whose dream to date a man came true shortly. In September 2018, his gay partner, Gareth Locke announced his engagement with Ollie via Instagram saying Ollie accepted his proposal to get married soon.
The very next day, Ollie also flaunted the photograph showing their hands with an engagement ring. Ten years ago in 2008, Ollie met his now-fiancé while they were modeling at a fashion show for designer Jade Holland Cooper. After then, they started dating each other secretly for several years.
The pair’s strong bonding is noticeable in their social media post. Uploading their selfie at the beginning of 2019, Ollie poured the feeling of love towards his fiancé in the caption. He gushed that he is lucky to have so many fabulous blessings in his life.
