At age ten, he won the children’s division of the Utah Talent Competition, leading to various singing appearances on television. In 2008, he became the runner-up on the seventh season of American Idol.

In August of that year, he released Crush, the first single from his debut self-titled album. The album was released three months.  He later released another album called The Other Side of Down in October 2010, featuring the lead single Something ‘Bout Love.

He released another album Forevermore, in 2012, exclusively in the Philippines. His most recent album, Therapy Sessions, was released in May 2020, marking his eighth studio album.

Who is David Archuleta’s boyfriend?

Archuleta is 32 years old and is currently single as of 2022. Although he has been linked to six different relationships or flings in the past, he does not have a boyfriend right now.

Before his coming out, Archuleta had been engaged to someone, but he suffered an anxiety attack while on a date with the person and subsequently called off the engagement. 

However, no information has been provided about the identity of his ex-fiancée. Likewise, he has not opened up about any of his other relationships since then.

David Archuleta came out with his gay sexuality in 2021

Archuleta publicly announced in June 2021 that he is part of the LGBTQIA+ community, but he said he was not sure of his sexuality yet.

In 2014, he came out to his family but has since become uncertain about where he falls on the spectrum of sexuality. According to Variety, he had similar feelings for both genders, which may suggest that he is somewhere on the bisexual spectrum.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, he revealed that he has learned that he does not have as many sexual desires and urges as most people, which works for him because he commits to saving himself until marriage.

He noted that some people call this asexual when they do not experience sexual urges. Coming out can be a challenging experience for many people, especially religious or conservative ones.

His decision to come out and share his experience is a positive step towards increasing visibility and acceptance for the LGBTQIA+ community.

He hopes that by speaking openly about his journey, he can help others experiencing the same uncertainty and provide them with comfort and acceptance.

David Archuleta is a man of faith

Archuleta was raised as a devout member of the Mormon Church in Utah. He took a break from music in 2011 to serve a 2-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 

However, he has since returned to music and achieved new success in Asia while participating in philanthropic activities. The artist has opened up about his experience reconciling his Mormon faith with his sexuality.

In the said Instagram post, he expressed that he likes to keep to himself but felt it necessary to share this with the world because he knows that many other people from religious upbringings think the same way. 

He has discussed the challenge of reconciling his faith with his sexuality as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. He believes being part of the community is possible and still believes in God and His gospel plan. 

In 2022, he announced that he had taken a “step away” from religion and had dated men since coming out. According to Good Morning America, he said that he had to take a break from faith for his sanity, as he couldn’t continue to hide from his true identity. 

He stated that his religion was everything to him, but he reached a point where he realized that some things were not right.

He also mentioned that he began to accept his identity after prayer, conversations with God, and discussions with church leaders about Mormonism’s views on the LGBTQ community.
