August Alsina came out to the world as a member of the LGBTQ+ community during his appearance on the reboot of VH1′s The Surreal Life.

On the show, the 30-year-old singer talked about his new relationship. The latest episode of the show aired on Monday night (November 21).

During the new episode, August talked about his current love life.

“I would like a love that feels limitless,” August said. “And then what do you know? Love showed up, but in a new way. I want to share that and really honor the person that I love and that loves me back and teaching my so much about love and healing. I want to that in front of the world because it defies all the constructs that one would say love is supposed to be or love should look like.”
