Paul Gascoigne is reportedly ‘proud’ of his son Regan after coming out as bisexual.
The 23-year-old dancer opened up about his sexuality while speaking to The Sunday Mirror where he revealed he dated men in the past without his father’s knowledge but was adamant the football star would ‘approve’ of his sexuality.
Although at the time, he said his football legend father didn’t know, while appearing on Lorraine today (November 7), the dancer revealed he apologised to his father for not having ‘the chat’ before discussing his sexuality but says his dad is ‘proud’ of him.
He said: “He was OK with it. He said he’d love me no matter what and he’s proud of my decisions.”
‘Just take your time.’
