The Irish singer Hozier has always been a secretive person, keeping his personal matters to himself and sharing the very least with the public.
Traveling back to 1990, Andrew John Hozier-Byrne was born into the Catholic household of Raine Hozier-Byrne and John Byrne.
Later, his parents converted their religion to the Quaker faith, where Humility seems to remain a significant virtue even when the larger society questions its value.
The 34-year-old singer’s upbringing in a religious family and attending the Catholic St. Gerard’s School might have contributed to his reserved personality.
His very private stance regarding his personal and romantic life has led to several assumptions regarding his se*uality.
Key Takeaways
- Hozier is not G*y.
- Hozier and Saoirse Ronan are just good friends.
- “All Things End” was inspired by his breakup.
Hozier IS Not G*y But Agrees He’s A Les*ian Icon
The Irish singer-songwriter came to the limelight with his debut single, “Take Me to Chruch.”
For his Billboard Hot 100 song, he received worldwide appreciation, but none have been more vocal than his le*bian fans.
Hozier’s fans call him their “favorite l*sbian,” to which the artist replied, “It’s a wonderful thing.”

As a longtime LGBTQI+ advocate, he critiques organizations that propagate the belief that certain individuals are less deserving, using his music to address such issues.
“It’s people carrying out terrible acts through the justification of far-right traditionalism, and also a long campaign to make homos*xuality equivalent with things like p*dophilia and bestiality, which is absolutely appalling. So that’s what we wanted to show. The video wasn’t over-exaggerating anything. We just wanted to tell it how it is,” Hozier said.
Moreover, he believes that civil rights for the LGBTQI+ community are an important subject, not because he is g*y – which he is not.
Despite the singer frequently addressing questions about his s*xuality in various interviews, inquiries about it persist.
He Has Had A Few Dating Rumors In The Past
Though he remains tight-lipped about his dating life, the “Take Me To Church” singer has reportedly been linked to several females in the past.
Following their music video collaboration in 2017, rumors circulated that Hozier and actor Saoirse Ronan were dating. Despite a clarification from a Hozier insider stating that the two were just good friends, the speculation persisted.
However, Hozier and Saoirse never publicly confirmed anything or denied it, either.
But this thing’s in the past, and we might never know if they really were seeing each other.
Given Hozier’s reserved personality, fans were surprised when he was photographed with fellow Irish musician Lyra McNamara.

After McNamara posted the picture, congratulatory messages flooded her comment section.
However, she later clarified the misunderstanding among their fans by editing the caption.
Her modified caption read, “For the record, Hozier did not take me to church, and we did not get married.”
Nevertheless, Lyra did provide a bit of insider information about Andrew’s girlfriend.
Speaking to Gloss.ie, she revealed, “I was like to Andrew’s girlfriend, ‘I’m so sorry by the way. I’m sorry that I done that.’ But it was gas craic, it was good fun. It shows you the power of social media!”
With all the rumors and not a single hint coming from the man himself, do not expect him to share about his love life any time soon.
But talking to People, Hozier agreed that “All Things End” was inspired by a breakup.
In contrast, in an interview with The Telegraph, he expressed that he has no intention of opening up more of his life to the world.
The Irish singer-songwriter might have a girlfriend and be in a relationship. However, given his private nature, we would not hear anything unless it came from his friends or significant other.
