According to his manager Bernard Jay, Divine regularly engaged in sexual activities with young men that he would meet while on tour, sometimes becoming infatuated with them; in one case, he met a young man in Israel whom he wanted to bring back to the United States, but was prevented from doing so by Jay.
Divine, menajeri Bernard Jay'e göre bazen aşık da olarak turnede tanıştığı genç adamlarla cinsel ilişki yaşıyordu; bir keresinde İsrail'de tanıştığı genç bir adamı ABD'ye götürmek istedi ancak Jay tarafından engellendi.
