G4’s Mike Christie opens up about being gay for the first time
G4 star Mike Christie has publicly come out as gay. In an exclusive interview with GAY TIMES, the singer and baritone reveals that he’s been married to a man for the past ten years and has two “wonderful” children. “I’ve got so much love to give to my children, and I wanted this my whole life,” he says. “When I realised that I had fallen in love with a man, I thought I wouldn’t be able to have kids, so it means everything to me.
They have such a zest of life and they feel so loved.” Christie memorably rose to fame as a member of G4 on the first-ever season of The X Factor (2004), where they placed runner-up behind Steve Brookstein.
The four-piece British vocal troupe, known for their operatic spin on modern pop classics, have since released five studio albums including their chart-topping debut, which is certified 3 x Platinum.
To mark the 20th anniversary of their debut on The X Factor, the group is releasing their first album of new material in seven years, titled 20, digitally on 12 April and physically on 17 May.
