Queer Eye season 4 has dropped on Netflix - bringing with it a fresh batch of guest makeovers and, of course, the Fab Five!
But who is hairdresser Jonathan Van Ness and does he have a boyfriend?
Here's the lowdown...
Queer Eye Fab Five's Instagram Handles Revealed For Tan, Jonathan, Antoni, Karamo and Bobby
Queer Eye hair stylist Jonathan Van Ness was born on 28 March, 1987, making him 32 years old.
He's also long been a trend setter – becoming the first male cheerleader at Quincy Senior High in Illinois, where he grew up.
Jonathan majored in political science at the University of Arizona, but dropped out.
After uni, Jonathan trained at the Aveda Institute to pursue a career in hairstyling.
He then moved to LA in 2009 and still lives there today.
The Queer Eye star was dating boyfriend Wilco Froneman for several months, but the couple decided to call it quits in October 2018. Van Ness took to Instagram at the time to confirm the split with a cryptic post.
The caption cited Ariana Grande's lyrics to "Thank U, Next".
After some fans took things out on Wilco, Jonathan then followed up with an Insta story, saying: “I should’ve sat with myself a bit longer before I posted my most recent post.
“Wilco is a good person & sometimes things don’t work out. Please don’t attack him on his page. Just let us move on, heal and enjoy your gorgeous New Year’s celebration. Your girl Jonathan is just fine. Biggest hug.”
Since 2015, Jonathan has hosted a weekly podcast called Getting Curious With Jonathan Van Ness.
The show, as suggested by the name, focuses on various topics Jonathan is curious about.
He then asks experts for their opinion.
Jonathan is heading on a comedy tour in October 2019 after being inspired by his continued attempts to represent the USA in figure skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics. The Road to Beijing tour begins in Manchester on 17 October 2019, before heading to London and Glasgow.
Netflix revived the much-loved series Queer Eye back in 2018.
Since, the new series has taken off and accumulated millions of fans worldwide.
The fourth season dropped on Netflix on Friday 19 July, 2019.
