Nyle Dimarco Describes Self As Sexually 'Fluid'; Is He Getting Serious With Rumored Boyfriend Rodiney Santiago?
America's Next Top Model winner Nyle DiMarco, who happens the be the first and only deaf contender to join the reality TV competition, has described himself as sexually "fluid" when being asked by one of his Twitter followers about his gender preference.
The fan wrote, "Nyle, you have so much gay fans! Tell us, boys or girls?" Not long after reading the comment, he then briefly replied one word, "fluid" alongside an attached linked titled "How Fluid Sexuality Fits into the LGBTQIA+Spectrum," Gay Star News reported.
After coming out with quite a vague answer about his gender preference, the fashion model has since been questioned by his fans about his true sexuality. Rumor has it that DiMarco has been dating Rodiney Santiago, a bisexual model from Brazil who came out in a reality show "The A List: New York."
The two were first linked after Santiago posted a photo of him with DiMarco on his Instagram, which he captioned "killing the hiking with me!" The photo came into view one month after DiMarco described himself as sexually "fluid."

Amidst his sexuality issues, DiMarco is still getting praises for winning ANTM despite being a deaf, with some of his fans even admitting that it doesn't matter anymore if he's straight or not.
"I have to say it's an honor," DiMarco said after receiving his new title. "I'm the last winner, I'm deaf, I'm the second male winner, there are so many things all encompassed in one so I'm so thankful to Tyra and the show to give me the platform."
Moreover, DiMardo had also openly talked about how hard things were during the competition wherein he was having a difficult time communicating with the other contenders.
"It was definitely difficult just because of my language deprivation that was there for two months. I felt isolated," he said. "I tried my best. You just have to be resillient and have that resillience. When I won, all that weight was lifted."
Nyle DiMarco was a freelance model a year before he joined the America's Next Top Model reality competition. He is now currently signed under Wilhelmina Models, a prominent talent management agency owned by the Dutch supermodel Wilhelmina and her husband Bruce Cooper.
