Is Aidan Turner gay?

Most stars in today’s Hollywood have asked themselves questions about their sexuality. These questions often arise because of the characters they have portrayed on screen. But it can also be because they seem to have no Ladylove in their lives. It is also possible that they simply look so good that some people come to the conclusion that they are too fine to be heterosexual. For Turner, the third scenario seems to be the case.

The Poldark star has been promoted to a sex symbol and national heartwarming status because of his smoldering good looks. He has been described in various ways as luridly handsome, ruggedly beautiful and swooned, etc. His hair (which also has its own Twitter account) was celebrated as a mass of dark, windswept and romantic curls. All these factors have given Turner a legion of admirers, both male and female, all over the world. He has also denied some unfounded gay rumors in some quarters.

A look back at his dating history

Aidan Turner has never come out to declare himself gay or straight, but a look at his past dating habits supports the idea that he is straight. The Poldark star first dated his acting school buddy India Whisker in 2004. Both worked together on several film projects before they later split up. After their separation, Turner found love again with Irish actress Charlene McKenna.

His relationship with McKenna lasted two years (2007 – 2009) during which they shared an apartment in North London. The two film stars later separated and the tabloids reported that McKenna was devastated. The gymnast, however, who was also devastated, moved on with his life and fell in love with his Being Human colleague Lenora Crichlow. This special relationship lasted from 2009 to 2011.
