David Achuleta Comes Out, Says He's Still Figuring Out His Sexuality

David Achuleta Comes Out, Says He's Still Figuring Out His Sexuality

David Archuleta just came out as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community!

The 30-year-old singer rose to fame over a decade ago when he placed second on the 7th season of American Idol and he remains a fan-favorite contestant to this day.

David opened up to fans about his sexuality for the first time in a post that he put up for Pride Month. While he came out as gay to his family back in 2014, David says he is still figuring out his sexuality and he’s unsure where he stands right now.

“I like to keep to myself but also thought this was important to share because I know so many other people from religious upbringings feel the same way. I’ve been open to myself and my close family for some years now that I am not sure about my own sexuality,” David said. “I came out in 2014 as gay to my family. But then I had similar feelings for both genders so maybe a spectrum of bisexual. Then I also have learned I don’t have too much sexual desires and urges as most people 💀which works I guess because I have a commitment to save myself until marriage 🤣. Which people call asexual when they don’t experience sexual urges.”

David Archuleta Announces New Single 'Paralyzed' & Fall Tour Dates

David Archuleta is getting ready to debut his brand new single, “Paralyzed”!

The 28-year-old accomplished singer revealed that the new song was “a bit of a venting song. I get frustrated watching myself hesitate so much, and not let go of things from the past that I know I should. A lot of those past things are fears, anger, resentment, and I see how they all form excuses in my mind of why I can’t move forward. I watch as missed opportunities fly by and I just do nothing, because I freeze. It gets me so frustrated!”

He added, “This song is the battle with those paralyzing thoughts and I intend to be the victor.”

Fans who sign up for David’s newsletter on his website will receive a link to stream the song before it’s officially released on August 27th.

On top of the new single, David also shared his upcoming tour dates for this fall. You can grab tickets now!

“I’m so excited to announce my 2019 Christmas tour,” he shared in a statement. “I had such a blast last year singing so many Christmas classics as well as songs from my two holiday albums. It’s such a special time of year and I hope you’ll come out and make some new memories with us this year.”

David Archuleta Gets Candid About PTSD After 'American Idol'

David Archuleta Gets Candid About PTSD After 'American Idol'

David Archuleta is one of the best known American Idol alums, and in a new interview, is opening up about his struggles after appearing on the program.

The now 27-year-old singer, with a brand new Christmas album out, revealed to Yahoo that after his run in season seven, he suffered from PTSD.

“You’re basically a character on a TV show, and parts of it are worked so that it fits the TV show — but they’re using your personal life,” David explains about what he meant by using the term of PTSD. “So you become this character, but it’s with your own name, parts of who you actually are, but other parts that are portrayed in a way that you’re not actually.”

He adds, “Then everyone feels like they know you, and they know what you are, and they know how to treat you, and have certain expectations…This was years ago, right? But there’s still certain things about us that we still had certain little tics that we’re paranoid about certain things. …Eight, nine, 10, 11 years later, we’re still kind of stuck in some of those patterns of thinking.”

David continued about how it was another former contestant who turned him onto therapy.

“I realized maybe I can let people into my life. Maybe I can be more trusting. Because maybe there was a certain time in my life where I did have to be a lot more cautious, and I had to be careful with who was around me,” David says. “But I’ve been able to grow from that, and it’s like, ‘Well, I want to have friends, or be in a relationship with someone.’”

“You have to learn to open up, and something I’ve had a really hard time with is trusting people. I’m always like, ‘No, people can’t know where I live. Even my own relatives can’t have my own number’ — because I’m so afraid of someone getting into my personal space, my life.”

Most recently, David appeared in the Hollywood Christmas Parade with more Idol alums.

David Archuleta just keeps getting better and better.

The American Idol alum just dropped a brand new 4-song EP called Leo.

“I want to get people to look up more, and the stars along with music are some of the best ways I know how to do that,” David shared about the cover art and concept for the EP.

It actually ties into his upcoming album with the same themes.

Leo is a more throwback and stripped-down set of songs,” he adds. “I wanted to show strength and that I was taking a stand for myself with these songs.”

David continues, “I want my voice to be heard after letting so many other voices and opinions steer my path. I felt the constellation of Leo represented that.”

David‘s EP features four songs: “Other Things In Sight”, “Someone To Love”, “I’m Ready” and “Spotlight Down”.
