Every celebrity gets affected by various rumors. Most of the time, the allegations are false, and even stars are surprised when they learn what they have done in stories.
The most common rumors about the stars are regarding their sexuality.
Similarly, CNN reporter Jason Carroll has been regarded as gay.
Let's see what caused people to doubt his sexuality.
Is Jason Carroll Gay?
Jason is famous for being a host of a year-long series, A Soldier's Story. As a part of his fame, he has also been involved in gay rumors. But, the CNN reporter has never expressed his opinion on the gay community nor openly supported any LGBT+ advocacy.
However, he did cover a vital report on Mayor Cory Booker's sexuality which created headlines with his statement saying, "What does it matter if I'm gay?"

There are not many proofs about him being gay, but we won't know for sure until he clears up all the gay rumors himself.
However, the rumors about him being gay sparked due to his refusal to talk about his relationship.
Is Jason Carroll Married?
Jason is a very private person. He keeps his romantic life under the wrap, following the curiosities and questions about his personal life.
There are speculations that he is already married, but he keeps it hidden to avoid media attention.
But, his fans are deprived of getting acquainted with details regarding his romantical involvement with a partner. Also, people remain oblivious if he is already a married man and has a wife, but fans are hopeful that he will come forward and speak on the matter soon.
He has devoted himself to work and isn't very vocal about his personal life.
Jason Carroll's Career
The CNN news correspondent who has kept his date of birth a secret also keeps his family life away from the media. However, it is known that his parents are Fredericka Allison and Melvin L Caroll. Further, Jason also has siblings, Stacy Sykes and Melvin L Caroll Junior.
When it comes to Jason's career, he has covered several of the most-coveted news stories. Along with the 'ground-breaking' yearlong series, 'A Soldier's Story,' he has even covered the major news regarding the capture and death of Osama Bin Laden.
One of the bravest things he has done is he confronted a Mayor who had once harassed Latinos.
Around early 2012, Jason confronted Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. of East Haven, who was in trouble for saying he would help the Latino residents by eating tacos.

The Mayor then release a statement of apology, saying,
“My sincerest apologies go out to the East Haven community and, in particular, the Latino community for the insensitive and off-collar comment that I made to WPIX reporter Mario Diaz yesterday regarding the recent events affecting our community and our police department. Unfortunately, I let the stress of the situation get the best of me and inflamed what is already a serious and unfortunate situation.”
Meanwhile, Carroll grilled the Mayor, saying,
“Just tell us, do you think the apology would be enough?. I think that would help.”
The Mayor then stated,
“I certainly hope so. I created something that went viral. It was something that the media says gotcha, and ran with it. I accept full responsibility. I have apologized profusely!”
Besides the national stories, Jason took significant steps to emphasize the American military soldiers during 2010. Being placed amongst the 101st Airborne, he made his first trip to the Paktika state of Afghanistan. Carroll shared his experience as,
“That’s where their experience started and I decided to follow wherever they ended up.”
At the time, Carroll was following Sgt Randy Shorter for a series, 'A Soldiers Story.'
The film that Carroll documented aired on 'American Morning' on September 27, 2010. Additionally, he shared that he had two goals associated with his work.
Firstly, Carroll hoped to get the audience to "look at the world through the eyes of these three soldiers." Secondly, he wanted to portray a real sense of what serving this country is all about.
The rest of his notable works include the coverage of the major earthquake in Haiti, Hurricane Katrina, the London terrorist bombing plot, and the on-scene coverage of American Airlines Flight 587.
Apart from being a reporter, Jason also made headlines.

Although Carroll tried to protect himself, and the camera shouted, 'Give us a second to talk,' the students continued hitting him with snowballs.
Even though the news became the talk of the town, Jason has always been regarded as one of the inspiring reporters who has dedicated his life to media. With his hard work, Jason's salary with CNN is estimated to be between $70k and $99k. However, he has not disclosed his net worth yet.
