Wilson continued: “TODAY, all questions and speculations of the past, now have a present definitive answer! To finally answer the question….YES, I’m a bisexual man who’s in love with LOVE.
“I AM WHO I AM and I LOVE WHO I LOVE. Always have and always will!
“With that being said, cheers to new beginnings and unapologetically walking in your truth. It feels good as hell and I wish all y’all the same. Thank you for all the birthday love and constant support.Y’all are loved and cherished more than you know—for life!
