David Archuleta, the beloved American Idol runner-up who captured hearts with his charming smile and soulful voice, is now thrilling fans with his candid openness about his personal life. Since coming out as gay, Archuleta has embraced a bold and playful side, discussing topics like his sexual preferences and the importance of connection.
In a recent interview on Logo’s Spill Bar with Johnny Sibilly, Archuleta opened up about his ideal partner and his perspective on intimacy, delighting fans with his honesty.
“My ideal partner? I think I need someone who’s able to match my energy,” he shared. “Somebody who will match my freak.” Archuleta explained that his version of “freak” isn’t about explicit physical traits but rather about emotional connection and compatibility.
During a lighthearted segment called “What Makes David Archuleta Horny?” the singer revealed that a “good face” is a major factor for him.
“If I like you, then okay, whatever. If you have a nice dick, that’s great. But I have to like you first,” he said, describing how this perspective often leads people to identify him as demisexual—someone who requires an emotional bond before feeling sexual attraction.
“I do consider myself demisexual,” he added, noting that he also sees himself “on the scale of asexual.”
Archuleta also tackled lingering questions about his sexual positioning, sharing that he’s versatile but doesn’t place heavy emphasis on traditional labels. “It’s not like I’m even into dick. And I’m not really into ass, either, to be honest. Doing only one thing is boring to me,” he said.
His refreshing openness, coupled with his lighthearted humour, struck a chord with fans and even had Sibilly echoing a chorus of approval: “Do it all!”
For longtime followers, Archuleta’s candidness is a significant evolution from the reserved teen who serenaded millions on national television. Yet, his honesty remains as heartfelt and genuine as ever.
Fans now eagerly hope that 2025 will bring Archuleta his dream partner—someone who can keep up with his energy, embrace his playful “freak,” and prove that love transcends physical attraction, focusing instead on deeper connections.
