Paulie Calafiore from Big Brother 18 is not gay

While there are multiple rumors about Paulie Calafiore being homos*xual, all of the claims and rumors are completely unfounded.

Hailing from Howell, NJ, Paulie still lives in his hometown. His diverse and unique personality, along with his humorous nature means that speculation about his gender identity and s*xuality has been rife.

Regardless, as his relationship history suggests, Paulie is straight. Paulie was known to have broken up with Danielle after his appearance on The Challenge. This was because Paulie met Cara Maria Sorbello while filming for the show. Despite famously having a rough start on the show, the couple is still together and very much appears to be in love.

The couple recently celebrated their five-year anniversary which led to an Instagram post from Paulie. Hence, there are simply a number of indicators about Paulie’s s*xuality. Involved in a number of relationships in the past few years with some stunning women, Paulie is not gay. The rumors about the same are unfounded and untrue.
