Shortly after her arrival in the U.S., Vera introduced her followers to a mystery man, later identified as Gideon Brown.

On October 11, 2023, she officially introduced Gideon Brown as the man who had captured her heart in the United States. The revelation was accompanied by affectionate photos and expressions of happiness from the socialite.

Responding to speculations about her new boyfriend's sexuality due to his fashion choices, Vera Sidika swiftly dismissed any assumptions about Gideon Brown being a member of the LGBTQ community.

"Y'all do understand that not all male fashion models are LGBTQ, right? Why people jump into conclusions is beyond me," she wrote.
