Yungblud on how his ex Jessie Jo Stark helped him ‘navigate’ his pansexuality
The star called Stark "the most five-dimensional person Iv'e ever met" in a new interview with Attitude
Attitude cover boy Yungblud has revealed that his ex-partner Jessie Jo Stark helped him come to terms with his pansexuality.
Speaking in our cover interview, the ‘Zombie’ singer called the singer and actor, who he was in a three-year relationship with until their split last November, “the most five-dimensional person I’e ever met.”
He credits her with helping him to “navigate” his sexuality even though she is “completely straight”, adding that their breakup was a “me problem.”
“I needed time to go, ‘Dom, who are you, mate?'” – Yungblud
“I was so unhappy with myself — I didn’t love myself,” the star explains. “I was kind of putting that on her and blah blah blah, when it was my fault. I needed time to go, ‘Dom, who are you, mate? What do you want? Because you don’t know right now.’”
The 27-year-old was unveiled as our cover star yesterday, and was today named a PRIDE ICON award winner at today’s PEUGEOT Attitude PRIDE Awards, supported by British Airways in London.
Elsewhere, Yungblud said of his sexuality: “I am the pan man — I’m the fucking saucepan. Because it’s the [label] that allows me to be who I am; it’s the one with the most room for manoeuvre.
“Do you know what I’m saying? I do feel like I am less insecure about it.”
