Matt McGorry’s portrayal of Dan’s best friend “Mark” in the Netflix horror series Archive 81 has been widely praised. But praise isn’t the only thing Matt has received from the series. The actor has also endured a lot of fan scrutiny over his love life and sexual orientation.
So, does he have a wife or girlfriend? And why do people believe he is gay? Find out the answers as you scroll down.
Does Archive 81’s Matt McGorry have a wife or girlfriend?
Matt McGorry doesn’t appear to have a wife or girlfriend as of 2022. However, he does have an idea of the type of person he wants to marry. What’s more, Matt knows the secret to a happy marriage.
According to Matt’s tweet, this tweet links to his “summary thoughts on dating” — When you choose a life partner, you’re choosing a lot of things, including a parenting partner and someone who will profoundly influence your children, a dining companion for about 20,000 meals, a travel companion for about 100 vacations, a primary companion in your spare time and retirement.
And Matt will check everything before walking down the aisle.
In addition to relationship wisdom, Matt also frequently shares tweets about dating and feminism. One reads, “There are certain things that I think prevent people from being feminists even if they call themselves one. Like physically abusing or sexually assaulting women.”
“It’s also worth noting that you can be (or identify as) a feminist and STILL be an asshole or a terrible person when it comes to dating,” he added.
This begs the question, could he date someone like that?
But the most important piece of advice the actor ever posted was, “Don’t listen to Sam Smith on Valentine’s Day if you’re single.” There’s no arguing that!
Did you know: Matt was so beloved by fans on Orange Is the New Black (2013) that he received a marriage proposal 24 hours after the show debuted on Netflix.

Is Archive 81’s Matt McGorry gay?
No, while Matt McGorrym may have “experimented with boys,” he does not identify as gay.
And by “experimenting,” the actor means experimenting physically. “I don’t think it’s sexual, and I’m honest about never being attracted to guys, but it’s just something that I—and I don’t need to go into detail—but, you know, where you just experiment with things,” he explains.
The actor only confessed to the issue in 2018. Although Matt was still a teenager when he “experimented”, he revealed that he was too embarrassed to talk about it.
“One day I’ll be famous, maybe, and someone will find out and it will become this and it will destroy me,” he recalled. Plus, keeping it a secret only added to the feeling of shame.
But ironically, this revelation helped him become famous on TikTok and gain respect from fans.
