Lil Nas X confirmed that his ex-boyfriend is the actor who starred in his “That’s What I Want” music video, Yai Ariza.

“We were dating and we’re still on very good terms,” the “Montero” artist said on SiriusXM’s “Hits 1” when asked if the man in the video was his boyfriend.

Nas X, 22, added, “You know, we may date again in the future.”

But just because the pair broke up doesn’t mean there aren’t still feelings.

“I love him, he’s amazing. I wanted to, like, just kind of focus on my music right now,” the “Old Town Road” singer said, adding that Ariza is “literally the best person I’ve ever dated.

“I am still very much in love but I’m trying to manage it. If it’s meant [to be] it’ll happen in the future, you know?” he said.

He and Ariza made a splash in the steamy music video where the men were seen making out in a locker room shower.

Ariza gushed over Nas X after the music video dropped, writing on Instagram earlier this month, “Huge Thank you to @lilnasx for making me part of your wonderful vision , you are so special, you deserve it all , love uuu 💕.”

And on being in the video, he added, “You guys don’t know how happy i feel to be part of something so big and special 🦋 this is going to change lives !!!!!”

Ariza has also appeared as the rapper’s backup dancer in several other performances, including one where he licked the artist’s neck during a performance of “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” on “Saturday Night Live.”

They also smooched on stage at the 2021 BET Awards in June.

Nas X has been rather private about his dating life but claimed he had found “the one” in August.

“I’ve found someone special now. I think this is the one. I can’t explain it — it’s just a feeling,” he said at the time.

But the Grammy winner, who came out as a member of the LBGTQ+ community in 2019, admitted this week that he’s single again and wants to focus on his music career.

“I was seeing someone. I kind of decided I didn’t want to anymore,”he recently told Andy Cohen on SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy.” “I don’t think I want any guy right now, you know? Maybe I’m floating around right now … I just want to work on music and every now and then, you know, maybe I’ll kiss a guy every blue moon, you know?”

His rep did not immediately respond to our request for comment.
