Vin Diesel is neither gay nor bisexual. The famous American actor who is well known for the Fast and Furious franchise is straight and has been in many heterosexual relationships in the past.
Born Mark Sinclair in 1967 and currently 56 years old, Vin Diesel has had an interesting dating history that includes his Fast and Furious co-star, Michelle Rodriguez. While he has never been married, the actor has been in a relationship with Paloma Jimenez for a very long time. Here is a closer look at his love life and the truth about his sexuality.
Is Vin Diesel Gay?
The sexuality of the celebrated Fast and Furious actor has been subject to many speculations in the past. However, it has since been made known that Vin Diesel is not gay.
The rumor surrounding his sexuality began in the 2000s. Even as the rumor continued to swell at the time, Diesel refused to address it or any aspect of his personal life, which seemed to add more fuel to the claims. At the time, the actor was hardly seen with a woman.
Another thing that got many to speculate that he could be gay is the belief by some that the Fast and Furious movies have always been gay. This was credited to, among other things, a statement made by Dom (Vin Diesel’s character) that he appreciates a fine body no matter the make. The statement came in response to a question about whether he preferred cars to girls.
Amidst all the rumors, there is nothing to suggest that Vin Diesel is gay. This is because the actor has been linked to many women in the past with no man on his list, and he has been in a stable straight relationship for a long time. More so, Vin Diesel is also a family man with kids.
Vin Diesel Is Not Married But Is in A Long Term Relationship
Vin Diesel has never been married, but he has been in a dedicated relationship for a very long time with his domestic partner, Paloma Jiménez. She is a Mexican model and actress who was born Karla Paloma Jiménez Denagustin in 1983.
It is unclear how the pair first met since Diesel revealed that he was holding on to the code of silence and would not want to put the details out there on magazine covers. However, it has been speculated that since they are both in the same industry, it is possible that they either met through a mutual friend or through an industry event.
Whatever the case, it is no secret that they started dating in 2007 and have since moved in together. Their relationship began years after Paloma, who was born in Mexico, moved to the United States to begin her career as a model and actress. She has worked with many big brands, including Honda and Coca-Cola.
Vin Diesel and Paloma Jiménez Are Blessed With Three Kids
Even though they have opted to remain unmarried, Vin and his long-term partner have since started building their family with the arrival of their three kids; Hania Riley Sinclair, Vincent Sinclair, and Pauline Sinclair.
Hania Riley Sinclair is the oldest of the couple’s kids. She was born on 2 April 2008, which means she is now 16 years old. Although her parents have managed to keep most things about her private, we know that she has also followed in the footsteps of her famous parents by becoming an actress. She has made an appearance in 8 episodes of the animated series Fast & Furious Spy Racers from 2019 to 2021.
The second child of Vin Diesel and his only son is Vincent Sinclair Diesel. He was born in 2010 and is now 14 years old. Unsurprisingly, he also joins his older sister in taking after his parents as he is also an actor. The young Diesel made his debut in Fast and Furious 9, The Fast Saga (2021). He has also been listed to appear in the thriller film, Close to Shore, which will feature his father, among other amazing stars.
The last child of Vin Diesel and Paloma Jimenez is Pauline Sinclair. The little one was born on March 14, 2015, and she was named after her father’s close friend and fellow Fast and Furious star Paul Walker. Walker died in a car crash more than two years before Pauline’s birth in 2013.
