As much as people admire Troye for his talent, his personal life often captures equal attention. From his long-term relationships to flirty Instagram exchanges, fans have followed his journey through love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. While rumours sometimes run wild—especially when he’s spotted with famous friends—Troye has always been candid about the importance of love in his life.
From long-term relationships to dating rumours, his dating history is as intriguing as his music. Let’s dive into who Troye has dated and set the record straight on those swirling rumours.
Who is Troye’s album about?
As Troye Sivan took to the 2024 ARIA Awards stage for Album Of The Year, the singer admitted that his award-winning album Something To Give Each Other was not only inspired by “moments between lockdown in Melbourne” but also his breakup and a memorable one-night stand.
“Quick story. I was going through the breakup, really really depressed, and I meet this one guy I have this one night stand with him,” he began as he accepted his award. “We had this incredible, incredible connection and I’m like, oh my god I thought the connection could only look like one thing, you know? And then I started to realise how many people there are in the world and how incredible connections of all kinds can feel and how it can present in all in these different ways.
“It’s super weird but I wrote this album basically about this random stranger I never saw again…Until, I was sitting at a wine bar in Melbourne and I see him and he randomly came up,” he continued. “The crazy thing is, I said to him, ‘Can I say something’ — the album is out at this point, you know it’s going really well — I said to him, ‘Just so you know it’s about you. You sorta started me on this thing.’ And he looked really confused.”
“Music is really really cool,” he added. “Go have a one-night stand with someone. You never know what could happen,” Troye laughed.
