Dating & Relationship Status
James Charles is openly gay and has spoken about his experiences as part of the LGBTQ+ community. He has occasionally addressed dating life on social media and in interviews, but as of recent reporting, he maintains a private stance regarding specific relationships. He does not publicly announce partners or significant others.
In April 2025, Australian influencer Mikaela Testa posted a video on TikTok criticizing Charles for allegedly associating with Evan Johnson, an influencer whose former girlfriend Kayla Malec had accused him of domestic violence that same month. Zack Sellars, a man with whom Johnson once shared a friendship, claimed on an episode of the Bee Better podcast that Charles had housed Johnson during the investigation against the latter, and that Charles and Johnson had shared a sexual relationship. The allegations resulted in Charles losing over 700,000 followers on TikTok. On May 6, Charles responded to the rumors in a video where he denied that any sexual encounters between himself and Johnson occurred, described his relationship with Johnson as a "brief friendship," and stated that he ceased contact with Johnson "well before [he] ever learned about any of the violence that was going on behind the scenes." Charles also announced his intent to sue Sellars for spreading "defamatory and slanderous lies, disinformation, completely… made-up stories for the sake of views, likes, engagement, and galaxies." The same day, Charles reaffirmed via his Instagram story that he did not support Johnson, and expressed hope that Malec would receive justice for the abuse she faced.
Charles came out as gay to his parents at age 12. Addressing questions about his gender identity, he stated, "I'm confident in myself and my gender identity – [I'm] happy being a boy. But at the same time, I love makeup. I have a full set of nails on all the time." As of 2019, his net worth was estimated to be US$12 million. In 2020, he purchased a US$7 million mansion in Los Angeles.
