In June, Costa announced he had split up with his longterm partner, actress/TV personality Adamari López, after 10 years.
Throughout his career, he’s been dogged by gay and bisexual rumors, which only intensified after López gave a cryptic interview to People en Español last month.
“There are things that I couldn’t allow for myself, but especially for my daughter,” she said. “He and I know what happened. He knows why. I didn’t make the decision lightly. It was not a tantrum. It was not a whim.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Costa has never really addressed the rumors. But after posting a video of a Zumba dance routine to Instagram recently, he finally responded to them when confronted by a snarky commenter.
It all started with a follower wrote, “How brave you are. With his back hurt, his heart probably shattered with so much gossip and always with a smile, and an excellent attitude. You really are a champion.”
This message didn’t sit well with a user by the name of @Melaniah252, who responded, “Gossipers? If he is bisexual they are his problems and if it is true, he must accept the rumors.”
That’s when Costa himself decided to chime in.
“@Melaniah252 and where do you get that from,” he replied. “Tell me…. And why do I have to accept something that I am not? Keep believing the shortcut of lies they tell out there.”
Well, that settles that!
Just so everyone is clear: Costa is not into guys, and that’s OK! We’ll still keep watching his dancing videos though. Speaking of, here’s his latest…

I’m trying to understand why the author would say he has all these followers , and as soon as we see his pics we will understand why. Why ? Because we as gay men are so shallow we only follow guys deemed as hot ? Why does this page continuously make gay men so shallow ?

Because it’s true. People still party follow love Aaron schock in spite of, well, everything he’s done.
Flash some abs, even ugly ones, and the gays will swoon.

Can we not broad-stroke “gays”? There are very particular types of dudes who mess with Aaron and follow his social media’s. But he still gets a shit ton of hate, including from many “white gays”. Let’s not be monotone.
jcool
it doesn’t say that all of his followers are gay men. i know a few females that enjoy looking at good looking men, too.

Most people are shallow, straight or gay. Most of these influencers, actors, singers and public figures are talentless, tedious schmucks who were blessed genetically and they make millions based solely on looks because there are millions of people who follow them, go to their concerts or films and vote for them because they look good.

Once again, this site contributes more to issues than it helps to resolve. We should all know by now that straight, gay, bi, etc. are identities people choose to embrace or not. They often have little to do with sexual dimensions, lifestyle, preferences, ambitions or where he is in the gender, sexual, romantic, comfort, affection, emotional investment, commitment spectrum. So, his declaration wasn’t really declaring “I’m not into dudes”.
Folks really need to stop going on people’s personal social media’s and demanding for them to “come out”. It’s tacky and sometimes bully-ish. While you can not determine anyone else’s dimensions, struggles, ambitions or when or whether they “come out”.

It would be positive if he is bi or gay if he came out, instead of denying it, but whatever his sexual orientation, him saying that he doesn´t have to accept what he´s not doesn´t really put an end to rumors. Too many rumormongers and haters on the social networks. Putting up with haters is the price people seem to have to pay for monetizing themselves and their work through Instagram and other social networks.
Donston
I agree to a certain degree. If you’re trying to build a large social media following and especially if you’re using your sex appeal to do so, you have to be prepared for haters and rumors. But many folks going on people’s social media’s demanding that they “come out” or claiming that they’re queer, it is toxic and detrimental and ironically homophobic/anti-gay. A lot of people truly believe that they’re doing something good rather than just being bitter trolls and contributing to nonsense. Ultimately, you can’t make anyone “come out”. You can’t make anyone embrace whatever identity. And no one really knows anyone else’s dimensions, struggles, motivations, journey or where they are gender, sexual, romantic, affection, emotional investment, commitment. So, it’s always gonna be a mistake to go on people’s personal social media with that stuff.
