Owning Manhattan’s Ryan Serhant addresses speculation about his sexuality
He's been married to his wife since 2016
Ryan Serhant has long faced speculation about his sexuality, with some Owning Manhattan viewers questioning whether he’s gay.
And whilst Ryan has never publicly discussed his sexuality, he has been married to his wife Emilia since 2016.
And as it turns out, his wife actually thought Ryan Serhant was gay when she saw him for the very first time in 2011, as the Owning Manhattan star recently revealed in an interview with Parade.

He recalled: “I went to a townhouse open house to meet Jewish girls and a developer. I thought I would get Jewish girl to tell me what to do for the rest of my life.
“Instead, I met Emilia, and she thought I was gay. My yamulke kept falling off, and that’s how we met.
“She followed up with me the next day, and I said ‘That’s all I get? Just a simple follow up?’ and she said ‘What else do you want?’ and I was like ‘Drinks tonight!’”
And after meeting in 2011 and tying the knot in 2016, it seems the pair are still going strong, however they did face divorce speculation earlier last year.

After Ryan completely stopped posting any pictures of his wife online, some people were concerned they’d split.
However, a representative for Ryan Serhant told The Daily Mail that his wife no longer appearing on his socials anymore was a deliberate choice due to “security issues.”
The representative stated: “He decided to change his posts to business, due to security issues, and his continued focus on his businesses.”
Ryan also directly addressed any rumours that he and his wife Emilia had split, telling TMZ: “We are still very happily married! Celebrating 14 years together. And yes she still puts up with me!”
