Becky Hill always felt like an imposter when she identified as a member of the LGBTQ+ community while also having a boyfriend named Charlie Gardner for over six years. But things are different now. Despite being engaged to Charlie, the singer is still proud to be “under the queer umbrella.”
But who is Becky’s partner? Keep reading this Charlie Gardner Biography to learn all about him.
Meet Charlie Gardner, Partner at Becky Hill
Charlie Gardner and Becky Hill officially started dating in early 2016. However, it wasn’t until October of that year that Charlie first posted a photo of himself and Becky on his IG page while cosplaying as Beauty and the Beast.
Fast forward to six years of happy dating, Charlie then proposed to Becky during a romantic vacation in the Maldives in January 2022. Overjoyed, Becky later shared the good news on her IG, showing off the diamond ring with the caption: “Turns out he really likes me.”
But this wasn’t the only time the Gecko singer showed off her sparkling diamond ring. Two weeks later, the couple were photographed leaving the Bulgari Hotel London hand in hand, with Becky wearing the ring proudly, paired with a neon green jacket, blue denim jeans and white pointed-toe heels.
Overall, “supportive” is the term Charlie likes to use to describe their relationship. He’s been there for her through her best and worst moments.
After Becky won her groundbreaking Brit Award in February 2022, Charlie took to his Instagram to congratulate her, writing: “A reminder that overnight success takes 10 years of passion, hard work, talent… and a great deal of inspiration.”
Now, talking about Becky’s sexual orientation, she came out to the world as gay in April 2021. She admitted that she enjoys sleeping with women and the main reason she came out was because women need to admit their homosexuality, instead of sexualizing their desires for other women for the benefit of straight men.
“My weirdness is helping me be myself right now: I want to wear head-to-toe glitter, I want to wear thigh-high boots, I want to own my fucking sexuality, I want to be fucking camp,” she added.
