While all of the stars on the show, including former cast member Chad Rodgers, had allowed their love lives to be a part of the show, Josh was the only one to keep that part of his life private.

Well, that all changes tonight as Josh makes the revelation both on the show and in his new memoir Million Dollar Agent: Brokering the Dream, which also comes out today.

According to Josh, 25, he is very pleased with the way he chose to come out. “You know my sexuality does not define me, it is not who I am, but rather it is part of me, and I did not ever want people to think of me as “the gay real estate guy,” I did not want that to be the only demographic that was watching me on TV or the only demographic to associate with me,” said Josh in an interview with San Diego Gay and Lesbian News.

“I am very glad I did things the way I did because I feel I eased people into it and I made people comfortable with ME, and then kind of just dropped the fact that I like guys instead of girls. Many people knew, many had no idea,” he added.

And how does Josh feel about his costar Madison Hildebrand, who also came out on the show, beating him to the punch? “Madison did not beat me to the punch. Madison just decided to come out on national television before I did, but as far as I know, I was out to the people I wanted to be out to well before Madison was. At the rate we are going, we might have to change the title of the show to “Two Homos and the Straight Dude.”" joked Josh adding that though he respects Madison’s approach, he chose to take “a different approach, a more subtle approach, and I kind of like the way Bravo did it … slowly revealing my life, because for the most part no one knows anything about my life other than what they can read on the Internet or what they see on the show with my family, but my private life was always kind of a mystery.”

Josh also reveals that his fellow castmate Josh Altman has been supportive. “He is a great guy and a good friend of mine and we have gotten closer since filming the show,” said Josh. “We do some business together and we get along real well. I have nothing bad to say about Josh Altman whatsoever.”

Josh is currently in a relationship with long term boyfriend Colton Thorn. Photos of Josh and Colton below. MDL airs tonight on Bravo at 9/8c. A preview clip is below -

Season three of Million Dollar Listing continues tonight on Bravo following a new move to Tuesdays at 9/8c.

On the 5th episode of the show this season titled ‘Billionaire Buyer,’ Josh Altman must find a posh property in less than two days for a billionaire client. Elsewhere, Josh Flagg has difficulty finding a buyer for a Victorian home; and Madison contends with a fiery client.

There have also been some questions regarding Josh Flagg and his love life, something he has kept private from the show (the only cast member to do so). Well, following last week’s episode, Madison had something interesting to say in his Bravo blog. An excerpt is below -

“I am glad Josh Flagg struck a deal with the lovely Candis Cayne. That was a colorful bunch — and I think Josh Flagg is starting to show his true colors. “

Very interesting comment. Will let you draw your own conclusions at that. And finally, some fans of the show are wondering if Josh Altman and Madison’s assistant Heather Bilyeu are still dating, and while there isn’t a concrete answer to that question, Heather was present at Josh’s premiere party for the show back on January 30. Missing from that party where Josh F. and Madison.

Heather even took some photos with Josh and his mom, and those photos are below. Also below is a video preview of tonight’s episode -
