Personal Life

When Jonathan was in his early twenties, he privately came out as gay to his loved ones, but he didn't publicly come out until 2018. In a 2021 interview with The Standard, he stated, "I knew that I wanted to be visible about my sexuality, because in all the territories that Netflix goes out in, there might be a boy somewhere that goes, 'Wait, what?' Which is what I didn't have when I was young. All I know is that I'm happy to keep working really hard and if there are opportunities for representation, and to make that point, then that's something I'll always strive to do." Bailey enjoys cycling, mountaineering, and paddleboarding, and he has competed in triathlons and marathons. In 2018, he traveled to Nepal and hiked the Everest Base Camp. The following year, Jonathan took part in the National Three Peaks Challenge, which raised money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association's Scottish branch.

In 2024, Bailey founded his own charitable organization, The Shameless Fund, which is "raising cash through global brand collaborations to power up international, national and grassroots non-profits, to forge a world where every LGBTQ+ person can live authentically, love freely and thrive without the burdens of discrimination, oppression or shame."
