What Kai Trump said about celebrity crushesKai Trump spoke to Fox News Digital about her celebrity crushes in July 2026. At the time, she indicated that Outer Banks star Drew Starkey had been replaced by Theo James as her new celebrity crush. “I think Theo James now, yeah, Theo James, I would say, so it's changed. I mean, like, I still like him [Starkey], but it's just changed a little,” she said. Kai also made it clear that it was physical attractiveness that had made the 41-year-old Divergent and The Gentlemen star her celebrity crush. “He's very attractive,” Kai had said. Grok too fact checked the wild claims about Kai Trump being a homosexual and said “No, it's not true. Kai Trump has publicly talked about dating guys, going to prom with one, and named male celebrity crushes like Theo James. Online speculation from her TikToks with female friends exists, but nothing confirms she's a lesbian.” Notably, these speculations have been around since 2025 at least but there's no credibility to it. The new video of Kai just led these claims to resurface. Meanwhile, Trump's granddaughter explained how dating was 'tricky' for the president's relative. “It's not easy, to be honest with you, but, you know, you gotta live life. You gotta just keep on doing normal stuff, you know? At the end of the day, I was in high school, lived a normal high school life, and now I'm going to college. So, just kinda live as normal of a life as possible,” she told Fox.
