But they denied there was anything ‘sexual’ about their relationship as they spoke about feast podcast.
“The lack of affection straight men show to other men makes people assume there must be something sexual about it,” Matt said.
“Being kind and tactful with your friends, and guys especially need to do more of this.” Everyone should be comfortable enough in their sexuality to not feel uncomfortable showing affection, male or female.
“There’s this random line in the sand – nah guys can’t show affection – which is stupid,” he added.

Matt went on to explain that the couple enjoys platonic cuddling because they are both alone and need company.
“People are very social creatures. Cuddles and hugs, that releases dopamine and makes you feel good,” he said.
“For everyone, women and men, pampering is important. That physical comfort and the ability to feel safe. It is something inherently human.’
Matt added that the men will call each other and say, “Let’s go to a movie night, let’s cuddle” and that “it will make you feel better.”

‘We usually do it on Tuesdays!’ Khanh, who is openly gay, came forward, adding that he felt “fragile” last Monday and that they had dated twice that week.
“We were friends and it got to the point where we were like, ‘Do you just want to come over on the couch and watch a movie and sit and hold hands?'” Khan continued.
“I missed the company. Sex is easy, but company was hard to find, so it kind of worked.’
Matt and Khanh have been friends for a while.
In July 2022, the astrophysicist and chef posed for the camera in a photo booth while attending a charity function.

In photos from the event, Khanh placed his hand on Matt’s head while Matt wrapped his arms around his hips.
They appeared to lean in for a kiss and were just inches away from lips when the camera snapped the photo.
In July last year, Matt was spotted looking for love on Bumble – with his profile describing him as a ‘foodie’ who ‘loves ice cream’ and looking for dates in cafes.
Matthew appeared in the 2019 series of Channel 10 dating show The Bachelor, where he rode off into the sunset with Chelsea McLeod.
However, the romance fizzled out after three months, and he later confirmed he was dating comedian Gene Fricker, before revealing he was single.
