Like most celebrities these days, Philemon keeps his love life out of the public eye. Though his current relationship status remains a mystery, a significant other is noticeably absent from his social media profiles, which leads us to believe he's single.

Philemon is also not one to talk about his personal or dating life in interviews; he steers away from relationship questions to maintain the focus on the project at hand.

However, in November 2021, the 27-year-old actor spoke about his personal life in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He told the outlet that Single All the Way gave him the representation he needed to embrace his identity as a gay Black man.

"Going through this role with Nick, I became accepting of myself even more," he said. "When you do learn to fully embrace who you are, a lot of different avenues in your life do open up."

Philemon continued, "It’s of those things where I am still in awe of the power of Netflix to reach this global audience and allow me to be a vessel and a conduit to that. I’m very overwhelmed. It’s so much love and support and accepting of myself that’s come from this. Even from my family and my own family dynamic — the immense amount of support that I have received is monumental."
