In our lives, relationships come in many forms. And on multiple occasions, Law Roach has explained why romantic partnerships aren’t something he’s too concerned about.
“I don’t really date,” the iconic stylist said during a 2023 appearance on Logo’s Spill with Johnny Sibilly. “This is gonna sound really sad, but I always wanted to say this in a public space. I don’t think I was put on this Earth for romantic love.”
Reiterating that he doesn’t date and has “never” been in a romantic relationship, he continued: “I’ve always felt, even growing up, that I was put on this Earth to be adored and for me to help people and to love people. I don’t really feel or desire romantic love.”
“I know that sounds sad in a way, but ever since I was a little boy, I’ve always had that in my head,” he added, explaining that any time he’s tried out dating in the past, “I’m reminded that I don’t think this is for me.”
Though these comments are years old, this particular interview clip has resurfaced online in the past few days, and it seems Law’s experience with love still resonates with many people…
“It’s nice to see other people are out there that feel the same way as me,” one Reddit user wrote in response to the video. “Anytime I tell people I’m not interested in romantic connections, I get looked at like I’m crazy, or ‘You’ll find it one day!’ (No jan, I won’t find it because I’m not looking for it).”
And it’s not just people who’ve experienced the same feelings who are in support of Law’s comments. One user wrote, “I’m happily married for 20 years and I love that he is saying this. Not everyone wants romantic partnerships and that’s OK!”
Interestingly, someone said that Law’s comments helped them expose “an internal bias I didn’t know I had.” “My gut reaction was to feel sad for him, then dismissed it, with a ‘he obviously just hasn’t found the right person yet & once he does he will realize what he has been missing.’ But seriously, who TF am I to put sadness on someone who was sharing they are happier with their choices,” this specufuc user wrote. “I considered myself an incredibly accepting, supportive person until he just slapped me in my face with a truth I wasn’t aware of.”
As previously mentioned, this isn’t the only time that Law has talked about this. More recently, he’s opened up about feeling very content as a single person who never felt that romantic relationships were their “calling.”
“Some people go to bed and they dream about finding that significant other, a person that makes them whole or somebody to hold them at night. I’ve never craved that type of love,” Law said during a 2024 panel discussion. “I truly believe I was put on this Earth to be adored and for people to love me in a different type of way.”
“Now, that being said, if the universe wants to bless me with a man that’s a billionaire or very close to it, you know, my heart is open for that,” he joked. “But I just never felt like that was my calling, and that’s okay. It’s the same way like, all women don’t crave to be mothers, right? And that’s okay, so it just was never my calling.”
I absolutely love the way he talks about this — and it’s clearly super helpful for other people to hear. Good for you, Law!
