Canadian actor Darren Mann is best known for his roles in the Netflix series Sabrina. He currently appears in the western drama 1923, which premiered on Paramount+ on Sunday, December 18, 2022. Its next episode will release on December 25, 2022, with other episodes being released weekly.
Mann is portraying the role of Jack Dutton in 1923. The series is a prequel to Yellowstone on the Paramount Network and a sequel to 1883 and will have two seasons of eight episodes each.
Previously, he appeared in films such as Giant Little Ones, Hello Destroyer, Embattled, and others. Similarly, Mann’s breakthrough role was as a Mann in Netflix’s hit Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
Mann played the gay character in the show. He was in a romantic relationship with Ambrose Spellman until his brutal murder by witch hunters while working for the Judas Society. There have been rumors that Mann is gay due to his realistic portrayal of a gay character.
Is Darren Mann gay?
Even though Mann played a gay character in the series, he is not gay. According to ew.com, he was asked how he felt about being labeled as gay based on a television character, to which he responded, “I’ve auditioned for many gay characters and I’ve played quite a few, as well.”

“I would never make a decision based on the character’s sexuality, but if the character wasn’t interesting, I wouldn’t want to do it. Personally, characters in that age range aren’t as layered and dynamic as Ballas,” he added.
The gay rumor was debunked, as the actor is married to a stunning model, Jesi Dee Mann. Mann is madly in love with her and frequently posts adorable photos of his wife on Instagram. As of now, he appears to be having the time of his life with his partner. Therefore, Mann isn’t gay, and his sexual orientation is straight.
Darren Mann’s relationship with Jesi Dee Mann
Darren and Jesi began dating on October 28, 2018. The actor shared a Halloween photo with his now-wife for the first time on November 6, 2018. The couple also went on their first trip together to the Oregon coast.

On the other hand, Jesi first posted their video together on December 29, 2018. In the video, they were seen having fun together while wearing masks in the kitchen. Moreover, the actor also shared a few photos of his partner with his mother, indicating that the couple is serious. They were also spotted hiking with their dog.
The two have always been encouraging of one another’s careers. For instance, Jesi congratulated the actor on winning Best Actor at the Leo Awards on June 4, 2019. She captioned his photo with the award, “Congratulations, my beloved! So so so proud. Yes, it’s heavier than it looks, and the lights were as bright as they look.”
After dating for around two years, Darren and Jesi took a step forward and engaged. On August 17, 2020, the actor took to his Instagram handle to share a picture with his then-fiancee, with an engagement ring visible on her ring finger. And over a year later, they got hitched.
The engaged couple shared the wedding vows on December 1, 2021. However, the actor kept his wedding news a secret for a couple of weeks and finally revealed it on December 15, 2021. He posted some snaps from his special day, where he was seen with Jesi and his friends and family.
Fast forward to the present time, the married couple has already been married for more than a year. On December 1, 2022, Jesi posted pictures from her wedding with Darren and wrote, “Happy One Year Anniversary, my dearly beloved! @realdarrenmann. These pictures perfectly capture what everyday feels like with you.”
“Happy and thankful tears roll down my face as I look through them seeing your smile. Everyday, I wonder how I got so lucky to have your love, and I’ll spend the rest of my life giving you all of mine in return. I love you so much and am so very proud of you. Here’s to many MANY more to come,” she concluded.
