Personal Life
The 29-years-old star did a pretty good job when it comes to hiding his dating life. There are almost no rumors about his link-ups with his other co-stars. Therefore, I do not have any details about his love life, girlfriend, or past affair(s).
But I will update my readers in the coming days for sure. At the end of September 2020, he was slammed for spending time with an underage girl. He posted a TikTok video where the singer shared about his date with a pretty girl named Athalia who is just 17 years old.

However, he received a lot of criticism on the platform. This is not the first time that the couple was pointed by their fans. Back in July 2020, they received the same kind of heat. After things went wrong due to their age gap, Athalia came forward and claimed that there is nothing serious going between them.
