Singer Frank Ocean has sparked dating rumours that he has a boyfriend, UFC fighter Payton Talbott, after spending Valentines Day together.

Is Frank Ocean dating Payton Talbott?

Frank Ocean is notoriously very quiet on his social media front, so fans were shocked when he uploaded a picture of UFC fighter Payton Talbott on his Instagram stories on Valentines Day.

It was a candid snap of Talbott amongst blue skies and he was snapped looking down at the ground.

The UFC fighter returned the favour and posted Frank Ocean on his Instagram story of him shirtless at the gym.

The speculation between Ocean and Talbott was ramped up when one of the UFC fighters friends claimed that the fighter had hooked up with the singer.

In a video of Talbott answering questions about the Blonde singer, one of his friends chimed in and said: “He did more than that… I got his f*cking lyrics tattooed on me and he’s over here kissing Payton.”

Frank has also been pictured on the ringside watching Payton Talbott fight, as well as some social media snaps of the duo cooking dinner together.

Frank Ocean previously came out in a Tumblr post in 2012 and touchingly shared how he fell in love with a man when he was 19.

Talbott seemingly came out as bisexual last year in an X post when he shared 'these hands are bisexual'.

Ocean is currently filming his directorial debut film, with BAFTA Rising Star winner David Jonsson playing the undisclosed lead role.
