Ayo has been dating actor and writer Colin Burgess for several years, though they have been very private about their relationship. In 2021, he shared a selfie of them together for Valentine’s Day.
“after much consideration I have decided that this year my valentine is my girlfriend Ayo. this is a photo of us together doing Dr. Jart+ Water Jet Vital Hydra Solution™ sheet mask,” he captioned the photo seen below.
Fans on Twitter have been upset to learn that Ayo is taken in real life and some of the comments have been a bit much.
Fire Island actor Joel Kim Booster, who is friends with Colin, took to Twitter to defend him amid the “weird” commentary.
“I’ve known Ayo’s boyfriend for close to a decade and he is such a kind, smart, funny dude and y’all are being weird as shit. Log off and make a real human friend I’m begging you,” he tweeted, though the tweet has since been deleted.
