Jaden Smith is known for his androgynous style, but he hasn't officially commented on his sexuality—unless you take his 2018 confession of love for rapper Tyler, the Creator seriously. At the Flog Gnaw Carnival music festival in L.A., Smith took the stage and announced to the crowd, "Tyler’s my motherf*cking boyfriend and he’s been my motherf*cking boyfriend my whole f*cking life!" Many fans think this was a joke or even a publicity stunt, especially since Smith had only ever been known to date women and since Tyler, the Creator denied the claim. (That said, Tyler, the Creator's own sexuality has also been up for debate
among fans!)
But as Smith said in an interview with Nylon a couple of years prior, "I’m going to take most of the blows… [so that] in five years when a kid goes to school wearing a skirt, he won’t get beat up and kids won’t get mad at him.... I’m taking the brunt of it so that later on, my kids and the next generations of kids will all think that certain things are normal that weren’t expected before my time." So maybe his coming out was sincere? We can't say for sure!
