James Charles came out as gay almost right after becoming famous. Since then, there have been rumors that he's been involved with a few different people, but not a lot of confirmations. He was rumored to be dating Grayson Dolan of the Sister Squad – an unofficial YouTube group – in 2018, but both issued denials. Affair Post reports that in December 2018, Charles wrote, "I wish people would stop over analyzing popular influencer friendships on social media. Just enjoy it for what it is. Some of the rumors are beyond crazy, it's toxic, frustrating, and it can really start to affect us in private."
That same year, Charles vented about his dating frustrations to Entertainment Tonight, explaining that he wanted a boyfriend at the time, but didn't like dating apps. "I don't have time. I just need a boyfriend like, right now. I don't want to sit here and scroll through people and message back and forth. Like, hello, no!"
In 2019, rumors circulated that Charles got involved with another makeup influencer named Manny MUA, but those rumors died down after Manny issued a denial. In 2020, Charles went on a date with Turner 'Ttfue' Tenney, but the pair never confirmed if they made it to a second date.
