John David Washington is starring alongside Zendaya [1] in Malcolm & Marie [2], and before you ask, no, they're not dating. And even if they were, we probably wouldn't know about it, given how private both actors are [3] when it comes to their personal lives. Currently, the 36-year-old actor appears to be single, as he hasn't publicly confirmed any relationships on his social media [4] or in any interviews recently.

However, John did reveal in 2016 that he's been in two relationships. When addressing the challenges that come with being Denzel Washington's son [5], John admitted that it makes it "tricky" to date. "I've been in two relationships and they both faltered because of the trust thing, paranoia by nature," he said in a radio interview with the Breakfast Club [6]. "It might've been my own paranoia that sabotaged the relationships. They were OK in hindsight. It was me."

He also opened up about his dating struggles to Steve Harvey during a stop on his show that same year [7]. "It's hard out here, Mr. Harvey. It's hard out here," he said. "In all honesty, because I have trouble trusting and I have trust issues thinking that they picked me because of who my father is." Two years later, he confirmed once again that he was "single AF [8]" during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres [9] Show.

Well then, it looks like I have a DM to send, so excuse me.
