Whether maybe because they're fearing the backlash that they would receive if they come out or because those rumors are simply not true, some stars like Odell Beckham Jr. and Elijah Wood insist they are straight despite rumors stating otherwise.

AceShowbiz - When Kenny Chesney split from Renee Zellweger in 2005 after only four months of marriage, they sought an annulment, citing "fraud." Some media quickly picked up the choice of word and ran stories that the country music star was gay. While she refused to detail the cause of the breakup, the "Bridget Jones's Diary" star explained the use of the term "fraud" was "simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character."
Years later in 2010, Kenny admitted in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that he "panicked" after marrying the actress. "[I] felt that the idea of marriage made me lose my identity. I just don't know that I've found anybody bigger than that," the "Get Along" hitmaker claimed. He also said in an interview by "60 Minutes" with Anderson Cooper, "The only fraud that was committed was me thinking that I knew what it was like...that I really understood what it was like to be married, and I really didn't." Kenny is now in a relationship with Mary Nolan, whom he has dated since 2012, though they don't seem to plan marriage anytime soon.
