Who is David Archuleta’s dating in 2024?
David Archuleta has not confirmed if he has a boyfriend at present.
Prior to coming out as queer in 2021, Archuleta had been a member of The Church of Latter Day Saints.

David Archuleta’s dating history explained
David Archuleta prefers to keep his private life under the wraps and is yet to make his relationships public. However, he did reveal in a November 2022 interview for Good Morning America that he had been dating someone a few years back. Unfortunately, the relationship didn’t last long. Speaking with OUT Magazine, the 33-year-old singer also revealed that he had been engaged thrice before coming out.
“Literally my purpose before was building up the kingdom of God and the greatest way do that was to marry a woman and have children with her. That was my ultimate goal for the first 30 years of my life. Now, I have to decide what it is as a queer person. I’ve been engaged three times. I bought three wedding rings for girls, but it felt dishonest,” stated Archuleta.
In another interview with People, Archuleta recalled how he struggled with anxiety attacks and suicidal thoughts, while navigating his sexual identity. Furthermore, he shared that during a dinner with his then-fiancée, he suffered an episode of anxiety attack. Archuleta revealed, “I was panicking. I didn’t move for 30 minutes.”
The singer added, “I was thinking about having to be her partner and being intimate. She said, ‘What the heck is going on?’ I was like, ‘All I know is I can’t be around you. I need three weeks. I’m going to work really hard. I’m going too fast. I’m going to pray.’ I was having anxiety attacks when I was around her because you’re trying to force intimacy with someone that you’re not able to experience. I didn’t want to accept that I was into guys.”
Though David Archuleta remains private about his dating life, fans are glad to now see him healthy and healing. They were over the moon to witness the American Idol alum conquer the stage once more this year. Additionally, his latest single “Hell Together” is out for streaming now.
