It comes after the best friends were recently forced to deny they were in a relationship.

The pair share a close bond and believe the speculation stems from the stereotype that men ‘can’t show affection’.

They also urged others to be more affectionate with their friends.

Khanh, explained how they have been friends for years and provide each other with companionship.

‘The rumours are hilarious because he (Matt) is the straightest cis-gendered male and I am obviously gay. We are friends and we hang out,’ he told Daily Mail Australia last June.

‘We provide something to each other that I think we are both missing and that is just companionship.

‘We have dinners, we talk about our careers and what we want to do next, and it’s just a sounding board where there is no judgement and I think that is a really healthy relationship.

‘I think the funniest thing is, is that I could be doing this with a girlfriend and no one could expect me to be dating them.’

Matt appeared on the 2019 series of the Channel 10 dating show The Bachelor, which saw him ride off into the sunset with Chelsie McLeod.

However, the romance fizzled out after three months, and he later confirmed he was dating comedian Gen Fricker, before revealing he was single.
