Dwight Howard identifies as straight. For years, fans have speculated that Howard might be gay, but he has publicly denied the rumors and has only had public romantic relationships with women. Howard's most recent partner was Amy Luciani, who he married in January of 2025. The couple filed for divorce in July of 2025.
However, Howard was sued by a man for sexual assault in 2023. In response, Howard claimed that the two had engaged in “consensual sexual activity,” but he did not come out as gay or amend his previous statements about being straight. Although this particular case is a bit complicated, it’s best not to speculate unless Howard himself publicly changes his label.
