Lil Nas X publicly came out as gay on the last day of Pride month in 2019, citing the lyrics in his song "c7osure" and the rainbow flag in his 7 EP . In 2023, Lil Nas X also posted on his X account that he was "a little bisexual" and "still gay."

Soon after he came out, Lil Nas X has a public relationship with Yai Ariza, a dancer from one of his music videos, but they ended things in 2021. Since then, Lil Nas X has kept his dating life private but still references being queer and in a relationship in his newer music.
