Despite being the front-line correspondent, Kris Van’s fans are still denied access to information about his personal life because he keeps his love-life details private.
Relationship Status: Single?
Kris has mostly kept his private life private, keeping things under wraps. There isn’t much information available about his relationship status, making it difficult for his fans to determine whether he is married or single.
There has never been any mention of his wedding or having a wife in the media. However, when asked about his personal life in an interview with adweek.com on January 27, 2012, Kris revealed that he was not married and had no children.
According to Kris’s above statement, he appears to be single but not married. Though he does not speak much about his personal life, he frequently posts pictures of his family on social media.
On April 27, 2017, he posted a photo of his family on Instagram, wishing her mother a happy 70th birthday.
Tory was once rumored to be gay because of his low-key profile. The lack of a wife and girlfriend in his life fueled gay rumors in the media.
Kris, on the other hand, has remained silent on the subject. Furthermore, there is no evidence to back up those claims. Furthermore, calling someone gay without any official statements would be inappropriate.
