Luke Evans himself has recently been sharing emotional, ambiguous statuses. "A wonderful birthday party but missing someone very important. You know who it is," the actor shared.

Although he rarely talks about his love life, the press has often caught Luke Evans being affectionate with supermodel Jon Kortajarena. The actor often takes Jon to meet his family and friends and considers this a very serious relationship.

Having come out publicly in 2002, Luke Evans insists that it has had no impact on his career. "I have never lost a role because I am gay," the actor said.

Luke Evans' words are not without basis as over the past 20 years, his career in Hollywood has been growing stronger with a series of important roles in big projects such as The Girl On The Train, Dracula Untold, Fast & Furious 6, Robin Hood, Immortals, The Hobbit and most recently Beauty and the Beast.

"If I felt disrespected because of personal issues, I wouldn't have stayed in the film industry for so long," Luke confided in Jackal magazine.

The 38-year-old star also told The Advocate: "If I have to become a poor man in my old age, I will have no regrets because I have had a happy, open life and do not have to hide my true gender from anyone."
