Just like his acting career, Wentworth Miller had to face a lot of ups and downs in his personal life, too. He has been fighting with depression since childhood. He attempted to commit suicide several times during his teenage years. Being a closeted gay could be one of the reasons for his depression and suicidal tendencies. He came out as gay in August 2013 in a letter posted on GLAAD’s website. He refused the invitation to attend the Saint Petersburg International Film Festival saying that he cannot attend the event hosted by a country where the gay community was denied basic rights of living and loving openly.

Even though his relationship status is not confirmed officially with any specific person, his name has been linked with a number of celebrities. Some of them are Luke Macfarlane, Mariana Klaveno, Kristoffer Cusick and Mark Liddell. Since a very young age, he was aware of his se*ual orientation, but he did not disclose it publicly. This took a heavy toll on his physical, emotional and psychological state. It took him 41 years to declare him being gay. This came as quite a shock for his fans.

Once during an interview, he had expressed his desire to have a wife and kids. Having a wife and kids may not be a possibility any longer, but he can have a committed relationship and surrogate or adopted kids. Wentworth Miller is a very private person who was able to hide his se*ual orientation for 41 years, it is a very distant possibility of him making any public announcement about his relationship.
