I consider myself sexually free and that means I identify with LGBTIQ. I see myself as open to sexualities and genders, I don't see myself labeled [with any letter]. There's the letter I, but I'm the I of Ícarosexual [laughs]. There's an attempt to label people and each of us is an individual force. My sexuality is only mine, it's important that we understand ourselves as individual power.

In March 2022, he began dating singer IZRRA.[47] In January 2024, Ícaro announced, via a comment on Instagram, the end of the relationship.[48]
