James came out as bisexual back in 2009, several years after his pop group Blue temporarily disbanded, though he later clarified that he identifies as gay. In a later interview, he said that he had been pressured to come out publicly as bisexual by a tabloid that had been keeping tabs on him.

“They found some guy who knew all about me and told me they’d either run his story or I could tell them mine, and it was better to come from me,” he said back in 2013.

And while he once was afraid to come out publicly as gay, James seems to have been able to work through that hesitation now.

“I posted this pic on my Insta yesterday & couldn’t get over the amazing response, comments and love from people,” he wrote on Twitter. “I didn’t identify as a gay man for many years because of my own issues with coming out, but finally I’m happy in my skin & this guy next 2 me makes me proud 2 be gay.”
