Celebrity Children We Didn’t Know Were LGBTQ

Joshua Johnston was born to Broadway legend Patti LuPone and her husband, Matthew Johnston. He grew up with a mother known for major stage roles in Evita, Anything Goes, and Gypsy, while Patti often kept her family life more private than her theater career.

Joshua’s sexuality has been discussed publicly through Patti LuPone’s interviews, where she has referred to having a gay son while speaking about LGBTQ audiences and theater culture. Unlike some celebrity children, Joshua has not built a public career around his identity, so the safest wording is that his mother has publicly described him as gay.
