Yungblud received strong praise from his girlfriend Jesse Jo Stark. In a recent chat with People magazine on the red carpet at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, the 34-year-old actress named him as her pick for “People’s Sexiest Man Alive.”
“He’s got the heart as well to match the outside,” she explained. “Insides match the outside.”
At the event, Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, performed a tribute to the late rocker Ozzy Osbourne alongside Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, and Nuno Bettencourt. Reflecting on their relationship, Jesse Jo Stark gushed, “We’re really honest with each other. We always say love’s not dead, and I’m pretty intense, and he’s so open, and I think yin and yang. We have beautiful parents to look up to, and I believe in love. That’s it. We believe in love.”
Jesse noted that Yungblud was “so excited to honor” the late “Crazy Train” singer. Of the performance, she said, “He’s so rock and roll to me and true and honest and he has the heart, he has the brains, and he has the f—— voice, so I don’t know who else would’ve done it. It’s beautiful and I think Ozzy would’ve said the same thing.”
