Is The World News Tonight Anchor David Muir Openly Gay?

  • DCS 

One of the top journalists and media figures in the United States, David Muir is best known as the host of “ABC World News Tonight with David Muir.” In addition, he is well-known for being the co-anchor of the ABC News Magazine 20/20.

Muir, who was born in Syracuse, New York, in November 1973, developed an early interest in journalism and news broadcasts. And he made certain to pursue his interest with the utmost vigour and commitment.

He has won multiple Edward R. Murrow Awards and Emmys for his work because of his talent and expertise in the industry.


What about his private life, though? Here is everything we are aware of!

Muir’s personal life

The 48-year-old has always kept his personal affairs very private and is renowned for keeping them hidden from the public and apart from his professional life.

Muir is well known for having a good relationship with his parents, which is something he doesn’t hesitate to show off to the public. The journalist is close with his siblings and frequently posts pictures of their kids on his own Instagram.


But aside from that, Muir’s viewers are unaware of anything concerning his other, more private connections because the news anchor prefers to keep two such significant elements of his life separate.

We do, however, know that Muir is one of the most desirable bachelors out there thanks to his attractive appearance and nice demeanour. In fact, he was included in People’s list of the “Sexiest Men Alive” in 2014.

Is Muir Gay?

Muir has always kept his personal life so secret that all his followers can do is conjecture.

In 2014 and 2015, there were rumours that Muir was seeing Gio Benetiz, a former coworker who is now out about his homosexuality. Benetiz was not out at the time, but the fact that he was frequently spotted hanging out in the studio when Muir was there led to rumours that the two were having an affair. Additionally, Muir and Benetiz used to spend a lot of time together and frequently appeared at gay bars. Although there were rumours of a love relationship between the two, neither of them verified it, nor did they make any statements about it. However, Benetiz put a stop to the rumours about his relationship with Muir when he got engaged to his supposed lover, Tommy DiDario, in 2015. Because Muir has kept his life so private, we don’t even know if he’s dating, engaged, or contentedly single. As a result, the question of whether or not Muir is gay remains unanswered. But we are aware that rumor-chasing is not a good idea.

Therefore, if Muir is gay as claimed, he will come out to the world when he is ready to share details of his personal life.
