Joe Rogan is one of the most recognizable men on the face of Earth at present. Be it his political views, his stand-up comedy, or his podcasting career, Rogan is always at the forefront of one controversy or the other. He is also a very well-respected figure in the combat sports world due to his kickboxing background and his role as a UFC commentator.
Despite his fame, Joe Rogan is a very private person and does not reveal much regarding his personal life. However recently a man, who claims to be Joe Rogan’s father, came out with some serious allegations against him. Despite the accusations about him spreading misinformation about his father, Rogan did not respond. Due to his very private nature, there are some misconceptions about him.
One of Joe’s closest friends, Bert Kreischer, reveals a fascinating story about meeting Rogan for the first time. Rogan is a very social person and loves to hang out with his close friends such as comedians Joey Diaz, Ari Shaffir and etc. Bert is also a member of Joe’s inner circle. In a recent appearance on Andrew Schulz’s podcast, Bert reveals he thought Rogan was “gay” when he got an invitation to Rogan’s JRE podcast.
Speaking about the incident, Kreischer added, “So I get offered to do Rogan. I remember saying to Ari, ‘like what’s Joe’s thing? Is he gay? I thought he was gay. Why would he want me to come to his house? like what’s his deal? And (Ari revealed), ‘like no, he’s just a great guy.’ I go, ‘No, no, no, no, no. They all got something What is it? They’re like, ‘No, he’s just a good guy. He thinks you’re funny. Do his podcast.”
There is a chance that Bert Kreischer was just having some fun on a fellow comedian’s podcast. For those who are aware of Bert’s comic material, he has a very crude sense of humor. So perhaps his comments on the matter were tongue in cheek. But, it definitely brings up the question, is there any validity to Bert’s claims?
Is Joe Rogan gay?
Joe Rogan has been married to a former model by the name of Jessica Ditzel. The couple has been together since 2001 and got married in 2009. Not only that, but they also have two daughters together, Lola and Rosy Rogan. Jessica also has an elder daughter by the name of Kayja Rose, with her former partner Keven “Dino” Conner. Joe has also adopted her as well. So there is no validity to Bert Kreischer’s speculation.
However, during his younger days, Joe Rogan did have some encounters with predatory men. Recently he spoke about one such incident, where he almost stabbed a man, who tried to make an unwanted move on him. But those days are long gone and Rogan has been happily married for about 14 years now. Although there are no reports of animosity between him and his wife, Joe Rogan does have plans of moving in with his friends in case of a divorce.
