Is Ricky Evans Married? Is He Gay?
The short answer to both questions is: No. Ricky Evans is not married, and he is not gay. At least, that's what we can conclude from the available information and his own statements.
Ricky Evans has never publicly confirmed his sexual orientation or his relationship status. He keeps his personal life very private and does not share much about his romantic affairs. He does not post any pictures or hints of a partner on his social media accounts, such as Instagram or Twitter. Instead, he often shares funny stories and jokes about being single.
However, some rumors about his sexuality started to circulate after he got a kiss from Daryl Gurney, another darts player, after a match at the World Darts Championship in December 2023. The kiss was part of Gurney's celebration after winning the match, and it seemed to be a friendly gesture rather than a romantic one.
Ricky Evans did not seem to mind the kiss, and he even joked about it on Twitter. He rated the kiss as "5/10" and said that he was disappointed with the result of the match but happy with his performance in the past weeks. He also thanked his fans for their support and wished them a happy new year.
So, based on this incident and his own response, we can assume that Ricky Evans is not gay and that he is comfortable with his sexuality. Of course, we cannot be sure about his sexual orientation until he decides to reveal it himself, but we respect his privacy and choice.
