Who Is Troye Sivan's Boyfriend? Golden Globe Nominee Dating Model Jacob Bixenman

Although singer-songwriter Troye Sivan lost his award to Lady Gaga, 2018 was a big year in itself as he got nominated for Golden Globe for his song “Revelation,” co-written and performed with Iceland's Jonsi, for the movie “Boy Erased.”

Sivan, who is openly gay and has gone onto become an icon for the LGBT community, told Hollywood Life at Variety‘s Creative Impact Awards on Jan. 4 that the song “Revelation,” which was featured in a movie about the son of Baptist parents forced to undergo gay conversion therapy, was really special to him.

“This movie means so much to me and the song means so much to me and the message of both are super, super close to my heart,” Sivan explained. “It’s something that I want to scream from the rooftops about and so to kind of be given this platform and this stage to do exactly that is like a dream come true.”

He is currently dating model Jacob Bixenman, whom he met at a fashion show two years ago. They have never publicized their relationship but never consciously hidden it from the public eye as their social media accounts are flooded with their photos together. They are living together.

Little is known about Bixenman’s personal life except facts like he was born on May 27, 1994, in Orange County, California, and that he went onto study English in the University of Southern California. His parents divorced when he was very young.

His career as a model started after he won the VMan modeling competition and signed with Ford Models. Since then he has walked the runway at New York Fashion Week and appeared on “6 New Models to Watch Out for at NYFW Men’s Spring 2017.”

In August, Bixenman appeared on the cover of Gay Times, where he opened up about his homosexuality.

“That relationship is different for everyone, but I do find it personally important to be transparent about my sexuality online,” he said. “I didn’t have that many personal models of queerness growing up, aside from stereotypical characters on screen. I think that the more we personalize the image of what it means to be LGBTQ the more people will understand.”

However, dating Sivan and their “power coupling” can be difficult at times. “At times it is, yes, and it was tougher in the beginning of our relationship because it was more of a crash course for me. We’re both people who share ourselves online but need privacy and really value close personal relationships so balancing that line of how much to give away can be interesting. Otherwise our relationship is really easy,” he added.

In an interview with Attitude magazine in August, Sivan described his boyfriend’s personality. “I don’t know, I mean, I think he’s got like a kind of energy about him, a magnetic sort of energy. I think people can’t help but love him. He’s just got one of those personalities that draws people in,” he said.

Sivan has also admitted to being inspired by his relationship with Bixenman when writing the long “Bloom,” which released in July.

“While I was writing the album, I was experiencing love in a way that I’d never experienced it before. I wanted to write, like, a love album,” Sivan told New York Post. “It’s exciting to be thinking about the future for the first time and to just kind of allow yourself to have those little fantasies and those daydreams of ‘What’s this gonna be like in 30 or 40 years?’”
