Who is Nathan Schwandt?
Nathan Schwandt is best known as Jeffree Star’s boyfriend and it’s a role he has settled into well and is enjoying his perks. The Instagram star was born on August 18, 1993 in Michigan.
He grew up with a sibling, one of his parents’ two children. His youngest brother is called Zach.
As a young man from the American Midwest, it cannot be denied that Nathan had an education, at least until high school, but the details of this education and any possible college education are not disclosed to the public.
The public part of his life, however, was before the fame of being Jeffree’s boyfriend. He was employed at a pet store in Michigan.
Nathan’s life was transformed from the banality of a pet sitter when he received a direct message from Jeffree Star in 2015. Like most relationships in that decade, the two communicated privately via Instagram for a while before Jeffree invited Nathan to Los Angeles. The two had their first date and thus, began a beautiful relationship.
Nathan moved to Los Angeles to be closer to Jeffree and began working on expanding Jeffree’s cosmetics company. After some time as a senior member of the cosmetics business, Nathan was relieved of his duties and focused on looking after the couple’s home and the dogs, of which there are five.
Since their relationship began in 2015, the couple have gone from strength to strength, engaging in joint investments such as a marijuana company and buying a home in Michigan.
It hasn’t always been easy for Nathan as the pop star’s known boyfriend. He has been the subject of controversies such as accusations of being a gold digger and of not being gay due to his history of all-female dating. Despite the controversies, Nathan Schwandt and Jeffree Star are still together.
Although Nathan is best known for Jeffree Star, his personal endeavors include becoming an experienced skateboarder and a decent guitar player.
Nathan is also a model for the cosmetics company Jeffree, modeling several products.

Nathan’s family has been very receptive to Jeffree’s lifestyle and their relationship, suggesting his parents are progressive.
Is he gay or straight?
Nathan Schwandt has come under fire for his relationship history. A look at his dating timeline suggested he was a straight man, dating only women, which fueled speculation and controversy that he was dating Jeffree for the money.

However, since meeting Jeffree, he proudly flies his flag as a gay man.
His height and his body
Although his weight is currently unknown, Nathan stands at 1.75m. A flamboyant and expressive man by color, he is often seen with different hair colors. He has an athletic build with fair skin which makes him an ideal role model for his partner’s cosmetics business.
