I Love A Mama’s Boy fans question Matt McAdams’ sexuality because of his bond with his mother, and in an exclusive interview, he addresses the rumors.

Rumors of I love A Mama’s Boy star Matt McAdams’ sexuality has spread like wildfire, and he addressed the rumors in an exclusive interview with Screen Rant. This TLC reality show stars men who have strong bonds with their mothers, much like Colt Johnson from 90 Day Fiancé. Matt is a self-proclaimed mama’s boy who first appeared in I Love A Mama’s Boy season 2 with his mother, Kelly McAdams. Their close connection was obvious as he navigated through three relationships on screen. In I Love A Mama’s Boy season 2, he was engaged to Kimberly Cobb. However, his mother, Kelly, often scrutinized every detail of their lives.

After the couple’s apartment burned in a fire, they moved into his mother’s home, which resulted in endless turmoil. Aside from wanting to be involved with their house-building plans, Kelly wanted to plan and officiate their wedding. Her constant interventions made Matt’s fiancée uncomfortable, but it wasn’t until Kim received a job offer in Austin, Texas, that the duo separated. On his return to I Love A Mama’s Boy season 3, Matt met Brittany Taylor. The relationship ended dramatically, like 90 Day Fiancé‘s Colt and Larissa Lima’s relationship, which led him to Devon before the end of the season. Alas, his close connection with his mother and the inability to settle on a romantic partner has sparked rumors that he might be gay.

In the exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Matt revealed he often receives death threats and homophobic slurs in relation to these rumors. He’s even been told to “f***ing die.” However, the reality TV star put the rumors to rest when he claimed, “It’s sad, it’s very hurtful, and it is not true.” It seems he knows exactly what he wants, but just as he mentioned on I Love A Mama’s Boy, his mother, much like Colt’s mom, Debbie Johnson, has high expectations about his love life, and it’s difficult to appease everyone. He also clarified that “it’s 2022. If I were gay, I would come out to my family.” So it appears he’s not afraid to reveal his true self if that were the case.

There’s no doubt that Kelly plays an important role in Matt’s life. However, their closeness and the activities they enjoy together are what sway viewers. They enjoy drinking smoothies together and getting facials, much like two lifelong girlfriends instead of a mother and son or even best friends. His dramatics over his breakup came across as over-the-top, which also convinced some I Love A Mama’s Boy viewers he was practicing his acting skills so he wouldn’t reveal his hidden desires.

In the end, if mothers like 90 Day Fiancé’s Debbie and Kelly are supposed to care for their sons as much as they claim, it’s likely Matt would have nothing to fear by revealing his true self. Although times are different and the LGBTQ+ community is more accepted now, it’s understandable that he still might not be ready to speak out. However, it seems Matt knows what he and his mother are searching for in a partner currently, and the I love A Mama’s Boy star will continue searching for the perfect match.
