Okay, so today I ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole online, sparked by seeing the name Dricus du Plessis pop up quite a bit after his recent fights. You know how it is, one click leads to another. Eventually, I saw some chatter and questions floating around, specifically, “is Dricus du Plessis gay?”

My Dive into the Info
Honestly, this kind of question about public figures isn’t new. People get curious. So, I figured, let me see what the internet actually says, just out of sheer curiosity about what information is actually out there versus what’s just, well, random speculation.
My first step was pretty straightforward. I opened up my usual search engine. Didn’t get fancy with it, just typed in variations like “Dricus du Plessis gay,” “Dricus du Plessis partner,” “Dricus du Plessis dating history.” Standard stuff when you’re trying to piece together someone’s public personal life info.
What came back was… well, pretty much what you’d expect. A lot of fan forums, some gossip-type sites, and discussion threads. I spent some time clicking through the first couple of pages of results. You gotta sift through a lot of noise with these things.
I specifically looked for any credible sources. You know, major sports news outlets reporting on it, interviews where he might have mentioned his personal life, or any official statements. Found nothing like that addressing the specific question of his sexual orientation.
Then, I switched gears slightly. Instead of searching for “gay,” I focused more on finding any information about any relationships he might have publicly acknowledged. This usually gives you a clearer picture, or at least, the picture the person presents publicly.

During that part of the search, I did find mentions and photos of him with women. News articles and social media posts sometimes showed him with a girlfriend, particularly referencing a long-term relationship he was supposedly in. Of course, people’s situations change, and not everything online is up-to-date or even accurate.
What I Took Away
So, after spending a bit of time looking around, here’s what I gathered from my search process:
- No credible sources or statements from Dricus himself indicate that he is gay.
- There’s plenty of speculation on forums and social media, but that’s all it seems to be – just talk.
- Publicly available information, like articles and photos, suggests he has dated women.
Basically, based on the public information I could find during my little search session today, there’s nothing to support the idea that he’s gay. It seems like one of those online rumors or questions that pops up about celebrities and athletes without much substance behind it. End of the day, someone’s personal life is their own business unless they decide to share it. My search just confirmed there’s no public confirmation either way on that specific question, and the info available points elsewhere.
