Fox News Anchor Shepard Smith Opens Up About His Sexuality

Shepard Smith is opening up about his sexuality and his off-camera life.

The 53-year-old Fox News anchor recently revealed that he is in a relationship and doesn’t let his sexuality impact his career.

“I don’t think about it. It’s not a thing. I go to work. I manage a lot of people. I cover the news. I deal with holy hell around me. I go home to the man I’m in love with,” he said during a conference at his alma mater, the University of Mississippi.

Shepard added, “I was always as true to me as I knew how to be. If I was fibbing to you, it’s because I was fibbing to me…I didn’t want to ask myself that question or figure that out or learn how to deal with that, because to me it was antithetical to all that is okay.”

He continued, “A. You’re going to Hell for it. B. You’ll never have any friends again. C. What are you going to tell your family? And by the way, you’re on television on the craziest conservative network on earth. They’ll probably put you in front of a brick wall and mow you down. Of course none of that was true…that’s not how it was, but that’s how it felt.”

Shepard said that he began to live his truth about eight years ago and is happy he doesn’t have to ever fib about anything ever again.”
