Does NFL star Carl Nassib have a boyfriend?
The name Carl Nassib is likely to bring a smile to the faces of non-NFL fans. Many people who belong to the queer community or who can identify with it know that he is the first active NFL professional to come out publicly.
Since then, it seems that he is really blossoming. He makes no secret of the fact that he is gay. On the contrary. On the contrary, his picture on Instagram has caused some rumors to start circulating. Actually, the photo in question "only" shows two men smiling joyfully at the camera. However, with the past outing in mind, it is easy to suspect more behind this simple snapshot, if necessary.
Nassib is still keeping a low profile. Maybe he wants to enjoy his happiness together with his new partner before he shares it with the public?
A look at a remarkable outing
The fact that Carl Nassib is gay spread like wildfire a few weeks ago. No doubt in part because he didn't make a big deal out of his coming out, merely wanting to "seize a brief moment" and say "that I'm gay" in a video (shared on Instagram). He had been planning to come out for some time, he said, and now he "finally feels comfortable saying it."
He seemed to have thought that his outing would make such a big splash. After all, he mentioned in a side sentence that it was important to increase visibility (probably he meant the visibility of gay athletes in the NFL).
At that time, he did not comment on his current relationship status. However, that has now changed. Apparently, "thereis now someone".
Carl Nassib chats a little out of the sewing box
It's no secret that Carl Nassib loves to be on Instagram. The singer shares many moments - whether from the sporting or private sphere - with his fans.
Recently, however, he revealed something in a podcast that might surprise even his well-informed Instagram followers.
He explained that he could now enjoy the wonderful feeling of being high on someone else's list of priorities and being "number 1". Without giving too much away, he explained that he had met a great man.
Enthusiasm resonated in his words when he emphasized that this man was "the best." ("I met an awesome guy. He's the best.") No names or further details were given, however. And that's certainly one of the reasons why so many NFL fans are puzzling over who managed to win the heart of the first outed NFL player.
It remains to be seen whether the lovers will soon come forward with a couple's pic or if they will decide to keep their relationship a secret.
Outings in sports are still seen as a problem by many people
Many people assume that there is a high "dark figure" of queer athletes. One reason for this is that so many of those affected fear that their careers will be over after an open "I'm gay!" is the end of their career.
In the meantime, there are several examples, also from the world of film and television, which show that this is usually a horror scenario that fortunately usually does not come true.
The combination of "male sport" and "same-sex love" nevertheless seems to be a no-go for many. That's probably why Carl Nassib was so celebrated for his move a few weeks ago.
