Love Is Blind’s Nick ‘feels more free than ever’ a month after addressing his sexuality
He said he is 'confident enough in his sexuality to make jokes'
Nick from Love Is Blind has revealed he’s feeling “more free than ever” a month after addressing his sexuality. He received a lot of backlash after a clip appeared to show him calling being part of the LGBTQ+ community a “fad,” which was apparently edited wrongly.
He’s now keeping his appearance on season nine, where he got engaged to Annie before calling things off just weeks later, in his rearview mirror. One person recently told him, “Put LIB in the rear view mirror onward. Your life is far more interesting. More please.”
Nick replied, “I feel more free than ever. Life is good!” He’s been in the air most of the time since the season came out, from driving planes to attempting to finish visiting all 58 of Colorado’s highest peaks. It comes just three weeks after he finally spoke about his sexuality.
He exclusively told The Tab: “Regarding the scene in the garage, I’m confident enough in my own sexuality to make jokes like the ‘size queen’ line. Watching it back, I still think it’s funny and wouldn’t change a thing – that’s my favourite scene in the entire show.”

“You hear me chuckle right before saying it because I knew it would make it on camera. That’s my sense of humour. I love to make people laugh.” In response to Annie saying Nick is “metrosexual”, he said: “The only offence I take is the implication I like the city!”
He continued: “Mountainsexual doesn’t feel right, but God forbid a man who doesn’t use two-in-one shampoo enjoy a good hike. Maybe we all don’t belong in a box after all.” In a conversation on how they’d react if their child came out as gay, he got lots of criticism.

Annie said: “I can’t tell you I would be the first person to be like, ‘Yay!’ You know what I mean?” Nick agreed with her and said he’d be concerned about who “taught” his child that, and that they’re “too young”. He’s since apologised for these comments on Instagram.
“Using sexuality as an insult, i.e., ‘get out of the closet’, says more about the person making the comment. It’s a hateful way to tear someone down. I hope we can live in a world where everyone can love freely. I happen to be a straight male,” he said.
