August Alsina appears to have come out by sharing his love for a man in his new reality series.
The R&B singer hit headlines two years ago when it emerged he had a romantic relationship, famously dubbed an ‘entanglement’, with Jada Pinkett Smith.
In the latest episode of his VH1 reality show, The Surreal Life, August, 30, discussed how his view on love has changed thanks to a special person.
‘I would like a love that feels limitless,’ is seen telling a group of friends in the episode that aired on Monday.
The scene then cuts to a confessional where August continued: ‘And then what do you know? Love showed up, but in a new way. I want to share that and really honour the person that I love and that loves me back and teaching me so much about love and healing.’
He added: ‘I want to do that in front of the world because it defies all the constructs that one would say love is supposed to be or love should look like.’
A man then sat down beside August and the two hugged while saying to each other: ‘I love you.’
Fans applauded the I Luv This S**t singer for apparently being open about his sexuality, with one tweeting: ‘What @AugustAlsina shared to the world is brave. I’m happy he’s happy and living in his truth.’
One fan cheered: ‘Happy for August Alsina. It’s more than “coming out”. That man found someone who shows him what love is and that’s beautiful.’
Another added: ‘All can do is smile @AugustAlsina the happiness man I love to see it.’

August has not elaborated on his new relationship or labelled his sexuality, but it’s possible the next episode of the series will follow his journey.
In 2019, Girls Trip actress Jada, 51, confirmed she was romantically involved with August some years before while she was on a break from husband Will Smith.
August had previously said: ‘I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation. Due to the transformation from their marriage to their life partnership that they spoken on several times, and not involving romanticism, he gave me his blessing.
‘I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life. I truly and really, really deeply loved, and have a ton of love for her. I devoted myself to it, I gave my full self to it. So much so to the point that I can die right now and be ok with knowing that I truly gave myself to somebody.’
Jada then said on her Red Table Talk series: ‘I got into an entanglement with August.
‘The only person that can give permission in that particular circumstance is myself.
‘I could actually see how he would perceive it as permission because we were separated amicably and I think he also wanted to make it clear that he’s also not a homewrecker. Which he’s not.’
