The Bachelor South Africa’s Marc Buckner has finally addressed persistent rumours that he is in a relationship with another man.

The reality TV star has posted numerous Instagram posts with a younger male, many have claimed is more than just a friend.

In 2020, the Cape Town model shot to fame after giving his “final rose” to blonde bombshell, Marisia van Wyk.

MARC BUCKNER ADDRESSED HOMOSEXUALITY RUMOURS

In recent months, Marc Buckner has been posting up a storm on Instagram with his “friend”, German model Timo Hagen.

The duo shares the same interests as The Bachelor SA star: fitness, fashion, and content creation.

Up until now, the Cape Town fitness fanatic has steered away from responding to speculation over his sexuality.

Speaking on the Wickedly Well Podcast this week, Marc Buckner shut down rumours he was in a relationship with his pal.

He said, “We’re just friends; we are not a gay couple. We have similar values. I enjoy training, and we are both health-driven humans. We motivate each other.”

RELATIONSHIP HISTORY

After The Bachelor SA finale, Marc Buckner and Marisia van Wyk would go on to have an on-and-off relationship that spanned another two more years.

In 2023, Marc went Instagram official with another pretty blonde, Namibian model, Jo-Marie Harteveld. Their relationship fizzled out after a few months.
