Out's Most Eligible Bachelors of 2025

Out editors penned love letters to Hollywood’s single queer men who are changing the world with brains, beauty, and heart. Enjoy 2025's list of Most Eligible Bachelors ahead.

JEREMY POPE

From your breakout performances in Hollywood and One Night in Miami... to being a dreamy love interest on Pose to starring in The Inspection — gaining awards season buzz around it — in this house, we love and live for you, Jeremy Pope.

It’s been wonderful to see you sharing your vulnerability through music. “U, Lost” and “What I Gotta Do?” are on constant rotation for us, and the full experience of the Last Name: Pope album has us all gagging. You stunned as a photographer as well in your series “FLEX(bitch),” which challenged toxic masculinity and even got Symone out of drag. And we can’t wait for your return to TV (and the Ryan Murphy-verse) in The Beauty, a show about an STI that makes a person beautiful before killing them. Transmit away!

A Broadway star in Ain’t Too Proud, a leading man in Hollywood, a queer fashion icon, and a bona fide male pop star that we’ve stanned for so many years? In Pope we trust, Jeremy! —Bernardo Sim

MATT ROGERS

I do think so, honey! It’s gonna take us a lot longer than 60 seconds to say everything we love about you, Matt Rogers.

First, you’re charming and sexy. Yes, being funny does a lot to make a man sexy, but your looks do plenty of the work as well. Matt, your smile has enough wattage to light up the Rockefeller Center holiday tree.

When you pop up in something we’re watching, whether it’s Fire Island, Q-Force, Gayme Show, or Overcompensating, we know we’re in for a great time. But let’s also celebrate your genius. Without the guidance you and cohost Bowen Yang give the world on your podcast, Las Culturistas, we’d be lost in the pop culture swamp without a paddle.

And thank you for helping to bring back the Christmas special with your 2022 opus, Have You Heard of Christmas? You minted new classics like “Hottest Female Up in Whoville,” “I’mmah Have Your Back (This Christmas),” and “Every Christmas Eve (Mrs. Claus Theme),” adding to a canon of gay-leaning Christmas tunes.

Our number one “rule of culture” is that you,Matt Rogers, are a sexy comedic genius. —Mey Rude

TONATIUH

Get ready to step into superstardom, Tonatiuh! You share your name with an Aztec sun god, and you shine just as brightly. Not everyone can be both divinely handsome and angelically beautiful, but you are effortlessly both.

Can we also talk about your talent? No matter the project, you’re an instant star. Thank you for giving us authentic representation of queer Latine people in shows like Vida. Marcos’s “queerceañera” was one of the most beautiful things we’ve ever seen on TV. Of course, you looked drop-dead gorgeous in your Quince dress and tiara. But it also made all Mexican hearts swell to get to see Marcos celebrated as the beautiful birthday princess that they are.

Now you’re starring in Terrence McNally’s Kiss of the Spider Woman opposite Diego Luna and Jenny From the Block herself, Jennifer Lopez. We can’t wait until the world sees your brilliance as Luis in this adaptation of the musical. Don’t forget about us when you win your Oscar. We loved you from the beginning! —M.R.

LUKAS GAGE

You’re one of the brightest young stars in TV and film, Lukas. You first wowed us with that scene in season 1 of The White Lotus with Murray Bartlett. Thank you for your service in educating mainstream audiences about the pleasures of rimming.

You shocked us again on the big screen in horror films — first, as a cursed drug dealer who’s terrorized by an entity only he could see in Smile 2. In Companion, you teared us up with your performance of a sentient robot whose love for a man (played by Harvey Guillén) was one of the breakout queer love stories on the big screen this year. And no spoilers, but your role as a guest star in Overcompensating helped solidify Benito Skinner’s coming-of-age comedy as one of the year’s best.

Love stories aren’t always easy, of course, and we know you haven’t always had a happy ending. But at only 30, you’ve already made such a mark in Hollywood and our hearts, and we can’t wait to see what bright surprises await in the years to come. —Daniel Reynolds

KHALID

We remember when “Location” blew up on SoundCloud and introduced us to you, Khalid. We’re rooting for you and plan to keep you on heavy rotation for years to come. You gave us American Teen (2017), Free Spirit (2019), and Sincere (2024), and we can’t get enough of your back-to-back hits, conceptual lyrics, and hot music videos. But please know, Khalid, that we are crushing on you too.

You’re a powerhouse singer and artist who continually evolves with the music industry, repeatedly climbing the charts, and becoming more used to the fame of it all. We will never be OK with the circumstances that led to your outing in 2024, but we admire you for standing proud in your identity as an example of resilience. —B.S.

OMAR APOLLO

It would be impossible to divorce the 2020s from all the music, lyrics, memes, aesthetics, and vibes that you’ve given us, Omar.

Many of us have been on this journey with you since Stereo (2018) and Apolonio (2020). Others joined the party after “Evergreen (You Didn’t Deserve Me at All)” went viral on TikTok and Ivory was released in 2022. There are also horny-on-main stans very excited about that Live for Me artwork. In 2024, you achieved another triumph with your God Said No album. You gifted us bangers like “Spite” and “Be Careful With Me,” and you grabbed our hearts when you included Pedro Pascal’s moving voice note on “Pedro.”

If that weren’t enough, you flexed your acting chops (among other things) and lit up the screen in your sexy scenes opposite Daniel Craig in Luca Guadagnino’s Queer. A seedy hotel room never looked better. —B.S.

JONATHAN GROFF

You light up any project you’re in, Jonathan. Whether it’s Glee, The Matrix Resurrections, Mindhunter, Frozen, or Frozen II, you’ve proven to be a delight in both comedy and drama.

And, of course, you’re a master of the musical, first starring on Broadway in 2006 with your Tony-nominated performance in Spring Awakening. Your spittle-singing as King George III in Hamilton had us coming back for more. And you finally got your flowers last year from the Great White Way by winning a Tony for the Merrily We Roll Along revival. How merry that made us! You earned another Tony nod this year for Just in Time, a jukebox musical on Bobby Darin, and you are indeed the epitome of the “Dream Lover” crooner.

You’ve broken the gay glass ceiling for out actors playing straight characters, which is no small feat. However, whether it’s Patrick in Looking or your new romcom role in A Nice Indian Boy, it’s so nice to see a talented (and nice!) gay actor like yourself actually play a meaty gay part. At our Pride of Broadway party last year, you announced you were on the market and “feeling full of Pride and PrEP.” We’re so proud of all you’ve accomplished, Jonathan, and we hope you find your man. Call us any time! —D.R.

TRAMELL TILLMAN

Severance is one of the most strangely enjoyable TV shows out there — and that’s in large part thanks to you, Tramell.

As Seth Milchick (apologies, Mr. Milchick), you know how to throw an office party, whether it’s with fruit platters, dancing, or leading a full marching band through the halls of Lumon, the sinister company in which you manage a floor of severed employees. As a former member of corporate America yourself, you know how to deliver a stellar caricature of a boss who will do what it takes to advance his career — smiling while scheming to keep his subordinates in line and on track to meet deadlines. And damn, with that smile and physique, you could sever us any day.

Severance is a hit, Mr. Milchick is a fan favorite, and you’re a shooting star in Hollywood now, Tramell. It’s out of this world that, as a Black gay man, you’ve starred in one of the year’s biggest blockbusters, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, alongside Tom Cruise. And in the process, you’ve shown the LGBTQ+ community that anything is possible.

We’re throwing an office dance party in your honor, Tramell. And please do bring the pineapple. —D.R.

LEO SHENG

Hey, Leo, can we talk about how much we love you? Yes, you have kind eyes and sexy tattoos.But we swear we adore you for more than the shirtless selfies and workout videos you post (thank you for those, though!). Above all, your dedication to the community and your activism are a huge turn-on.

In Adam and The L Word: Generation Q, you reminded audiences that trans men and queer women have a lot in common and often share communities. In a world of infighting and division, you remind us that if we come together to celebrate what we have in common, we’re stronger and better.

As Micah in Generation Q, you brought healing to fans of a show that had once depicted trans men as testosterone-rage-filled stereotypes. You also gave us one of our all-time favorite L Word couples in Micabel, your character’s relationship with sexy and saucy attorney Maribel (Jillian Mercado). We only wish we could have seen more of you!

You also fight hard to make the world a better place, and nothing is hotter than that. We love the way you fight for workers’ rights, queer and trans youth, women’s rights, and peace and liberation for all people. Whatever you do next, we’re with you. —M.R.
