 Paul McCartney reveals Yoko Ono once told him she thought her husband John Lennon 'might have been gay'

Paul McCartney has shared a surprising story about a conversation he once had with Yoko Ono regarding her late husband, John Lennon. 

In an interview with Vanity Fair, recorded in 2015 and published last week to coincide with the Prime Video documentary Man on the Run, Paul revealed that Yoko, now 93, had suggested that John “might have been gay.”

Reflecting on the conversation, Paul said, “I swear she rang me shortly after John d!ed and said, ‘You know, I think John might have been gay.’ I went, ‘I’m not sure. I don’t think so. 

"Certainly not when I knew him.’ We’d been in the ’60s, around loads of girls, and I saw him with plenty of them. I slept next to John often, and there was never a gesture, never an expression, nothing to suggest it. I had no reason to believe this at all.”

Although McCartney acknowledged that he had heard rumors about Lennon’s sexuality, including speculation surrounding Brian Epstein, he made clear he did not believe any romantic relationship had occurred between them.

Lennon and Ono were married in March 1969 and remained together until John was tragically killed on December 8, 1980, by an obsessed fan, Mark David Chapman. The couple welcomed son Sean Ono Lennon in 1975. John also had son Julian Lennon in 1963 with his first wife, Cynthia Lennon, to whom he was married from 1962 until 1968. Yoko Ono, meanwhile, shares daughter Kyoko Ono Cox with her second ex-husband, filmmaker Anthony Cox, and was previously married to Japanese avant-garde composer Toshi Ichiyanagi in 1956.

In the same interview, Paul also reflected on criticism he has faced over the years, including claims that he contributed to the breakup of The Beatles. 

Now 83, McCartney said, “Whenever I hear someone damning Paul McCartney, I tend to agree with them. 

"So when everyone was saying I broke up the Beatles, and I was just overbearing and all of that, I kind of bought into it.”

The Prime Video documentary Paul McCartney: Man on the Run follows his extraordinary journey after leaving The Beatles, spotlighting his solo career and time with Wings, while offering insight into the musician’s personal reflections and enduring legacy.
