It's been a wild ride for those of us invested in Lil Nas X's love life. Back in August, the chart-topper revealed he had a boyfriend. And after recently sharing that the two have since called it quits, Lil Nas X is now telling fans who the mystery man was.
"I was seeing someone. I kind of decided I didn't want to anymore," Lil Nas X told host Andy Cohen during an appearance on SiriusXM's Radio Andy. Not surprisingly, the Grammy-winner has plenty of suitors waiting for their chance with him. "There are definitely a couple people," he admitted when Cohen asked about it. "For sure, a couple people out there."

But much to some eligible bachelors' disappointment, the Montero singer is not looking to get locked down again for now. "I don't think I want any guy right now, you know?" he shared. "Maybe I'm floating around right now ... I just want to work on music, and every now and then, you know, maybe I'll kiss a guy every blue moon, you know?"
And now, the saga continues as the 22-year-old finally revealed exactly who his bae was. And, as many fans suspected, it was the hottie with a body, dancer Yai Ariza. Doesn't ring a bell? Ariza played Lil Nas X's love interest in the That's What I want music video, appeared in the Industry Baby clip, and was that guy who got to kiss the singer during his BET Awards performance.
"We were dating, and we are still [on] very good terms," the singer admitted of he and Yai Ariza. In fact, they're on such good terms that Lil Nas X might still see a future with him. "You know, we may date again, I'm sure," he continued. "I love him; he is amazing." Talk about ex-relationship goals.
"I wanted to just kind of focus on my music right now," he explained. But that doesn't mean it was an easy decision: "I am still very much in love, but I'm, like, trying to manage it," Lil Nas X admitted. "If it's meant [to be], it will happen in the future; life is long." We'll be on the sidelines rooting for ya and whatever your heart desires, Industry Baby.
