“It’s not secret, but it’s private," Bailey clarified. "Having a private life is, for me, completely critical.
”
This desire for privacy seems to stem from a desire to maintain a sense of normalcy and protect his personal life from the intense scrutiny that often comes with fame. He explained, “I don’t know if I would be able to be as confident to speak out on other things if I felt that my whole life was up for grabs.”

The series, which also stars Matt Bomer, features an intimate scene that has social media buzzing.
