Ronnie Wilson, the Atlanta-based singer who stole hearts on The Voice Season 25, is spilling the tea on his dating life—and let’s just say, some exes have conveniently resurfaced. Appearing on Out’s Hella Single podcast, Wilson got candid about his post-Voice glow-up, his dating struggles, and why he’s so done with Tinder.
The singer, known for his powerhouse vocals and emotional ballads, has been riding the success of his singles “Every Time You Touch Me” and “You Save Me.” But fame, it turns out, comes with some unexpected baggage. “There are some people in my past who either curved me or ghosted me,” Wilson shared. “Then, all of a sudden, I’m on TV, and it’s ‘Oh hey!’ Like, no ma’am. If you didn’t want me then, don’t try now.”
Wilson, who performed at major LGBTQ+ events like Atlanta Black Global Pride and Famously Hot South Carolina Pride, says the queer dating scene in Atlanta can be messy. “I mean, just be smart and trust your gut,” he advised. “People will say anything, so verify everything.” And as for dating apps? He’s over them. “I was on Tinder, Hinge, Raya—all of them. And honestly? Nothing. So I deleted them all.”
While he’s keeping his options open, Wilson has one dating green flag: musical talent. “I want a singing household,” he admitted. “If you play guitar? Extra points.” But don’t expect him to rush into anything—he’s got a debut EP, My Heart, dropping this spring, and that’s his top priority.
Wilson’s story highlights a familiar experience in the LGBTQ+ world—where success can turn past rejections into sudden “regrets.” It’s a reminder to all queer creatives: your worth isn’t defined by who wants you after you make it big. And as Wilson proves, the best revenge is living your best life—and dropping bops while doing it.
