Is Jonny Harris Married To A Wife Or Is He Gay?
The relationship status of Jonny Harris is a bit interesting and strange. Many celebrities always prefer to shield their private life – including their relationship status and information about their family – from public space, and it is not entirely clear whether Jonny is currently doing so.
He is currently single, and since he is a tall, handsome, rich, and very handsome guy, it is very surprising that a number of ladies have not been/are not associated with him. He has never shared any information about being in a relationship with anyone, and this has fuelled rumors that he might be gay and is not willing to come out as such.
However, sources close to Jonny claim that he has a heterosexual sexual orientation and that he has in fact been secretly dating some ladies, but that he is currently focusing on his career.
There was an unconfirmed rumor that Jonny was dating Georgina Reilly, his co-star on the TV show Murdoch Mysteries. None of them talked about it publicly, so it can only be treated as a rumor.
