"I always try to keep my personal life my personal life. I feel like I don’t owe that to anybody," the NFL star explained.
In a wide-ranging interview with GQ, the 26-year-old NFL star shared that he’d “never had an opportunity to talk” about the speculation surrounding his sexuality.
The NFL player also opened up about the impact of criticism.
“It makes it worse when it comes from the black community,” he told GQ. “You want us to support the black community, and then you go out and bash black people for being happy. So someone can’t be happy, someone can’t be dancing. ‘Oh, he’s always around guys, he’s never around girls.’ “
Beckham Jr. went on to explain that the reason why he doesn’t make his relationships public is because he wants to maintain his privacy.
