When he starts dating Gina (Nikki Hahn), questions about his brief sexuality stop. He has a board in his room covered with pictures of half-naked men, which he explains to be male models he looks up to as if it were a vision board. In this article, we answer a question that has gotten a lot of people’s attention: Is Daniel DiMaggio gay?
Josh also enjoys comedy films, rom-coms, and the odd horror film. Given the amount of speculation that's already propagated online, it seems that the show has been successful in at least making fans think about this question.
This hasn’t been confirmed because neither Daniel nor the girl has said anything about the situation.
Before the mysterious girl, the internet was full of rumors about Daniel’s relationship with an actor he worked with on the show “American Housewife.” According to the rumors, the two met on set and dated for a few months before breaking up for unknown reasons.
Daniel doesn’t want his female friends to know if he’s in a relationship or not, even though they often ask.
In terms of the show, Oliver and Cooper have a great dynamic, and they should have ended up together as they were already acting like a couple.

Oliver's Sexuality on 'American Housewife' Continues to Be a Mystery for Fans
Throughout the show's run, American Housewifefans have consistently speculated about Oliver Otto's sexuality.
While it could do without this tasteless recurring joke, American Housewife reveals more through Oliver's different reactions to people thinking he's gay.
Even though Oliver was never confirmed to be gay, the storyline always came back in American Housewife.
When Oliver is outed at school, he doesn't disprove the rumors as he wants to prove that being gay isn't something to be ashamed of to a peer.
When the show introduces Cooper as a recurring character, he provides more reason for the audience to wonder about Oliver's sexuality. Yet some audience members and even characters have speculated that the two were more than just friends. After they discover he and his friend Cooper practicing taking bras off on each other, and then see that his vision board features photos of shirtless men, they suspect that he might be attracted to men.
The two boys have girlfriends at the same time and double-date, and, in season 5, start living together in Katie's (Katy Mixon) house.

None of this is definitive evidence of Oliver's sexuality, but some fans are convinced that the topic is brought up so frequently because the show is eventually going to make a statement about it.
"The fact that they've brought up his sexuality so many times this season alone makes me think they're going somewhere with this," one user wrote on Reddit.
Some fans have also wondered whether Oliver may not be gay, but instead might be bi.
Also, the fact that there isn’t much known about his private life has helped keep the stories going.
Even though we don’t know much about his dating life, we do know that he dates girls, which should be enough to put to rest any theories about his sexual orientation for now.
It’s a reminder that it’s easy to make assumptions when there aren’t enough facts, but it’s important to protect people’s privacy and not make assumptions about their sexuality.

Oliver (Daniel DiMaggio) and Cooper's (Logan Pepper) friendship is a huge storyline in the last few seasons of American Housewife, available via Hulu.
He has shown genuine interest in women at various points over the course of the show, and like many teenagers, he may still be figuring out exactly how he feels about his own love life.
Whatever American Housewife ends up doing with Oliver, it's safe to say that most of the show's fans will be behind the decision.
He also takes up ballet, leading to more questions; this is explained as learning a talent to get into Harvard when he grows up. In 2017, he played Young Dusty in Daddy’s Home 2.
Is Daniel Dimaggio Gay?
Danie DiMaggio is not gay, that’s a no. In 2016, he also played a young Superman in the TV show Supergirl.
