The mystery television series was based on Het Huis Anubis.

Gay Or Straight? Does The Actor Have A Girlfriend?
As with most people in the spotlight and the entertainment world, there have been speculations about the actor’s sexuality. However, based on his previous relationships, the actor is not gay.
He keeps a lot of his personal life out of the media although there have been rumors about his relationships. The Canadian heartthrob was rumored to have been in a relationship with English actress Jade Ramsey who was also an actress on House of Anubis where she played Patricia Williamson. When asked about their relationship, they both dodged the questions and never confirmed anything.
However, in an interview with Glitter Magazine, the actor confirmed to be in a relationship but the girl he was in the relationship with was not Jade. Let’s just say, the jury is still out on that one.
