you’re so cute troye.
you make me happy.
Besides the fact that Troye is literally one of the best human beings ever and his album is always on repeat, I just wanted to report a mistake.
At first there stood that Troye is 21, according to his birthdate in 1995. Later there stood he started vlogging in 2012 at age 12. Either his birtdate is incorrect, but presumably the latter it the one at fault. I think there was meant to be 17.
Hi Julie
Thanks for reporting the mistake.
Corrected.
i love gay .
Troye has been dating Model Jacob Taylor Bixenman since 2016 and his dog’s name is Jagga, not Jagger.

Hi Madalyn

Troye recently posted a video on TikTok stating that his new album was “made in an absolute state of heartbreak”, which implies that him and Jacob have broken up.
