Could Vox be demiromantic?
It is very canon that Vox is bisexual and we see him directly express sexual attraction to both men (primarily Val but arguably Alastor too) and passively to women (his comments about the backup dancers in his rally in s2e5). It's also very clear that Vox has a lot internalised homophobia about his attraction to men (which likely manifested in life in him turning it into violence but that's a different post) but generally seems very slow to enter romantic relationships.
In life we do not Vincent be close to anyone. Brighter really emphasises Vincent's habit of outsourcing fulfillment to external, mass adoration. We see that from how he is never content with the position he is in and so is always trying to grow his audience but we also see that he's very alone. He literally kicks aside his co-host when he becomes a new anchor and the only person who he has multiple scenes with is his producer that he later murders. Vincent Whittman does not have any strong relationships. It's a quick song obviously, not a full biography but a lot of information is given to the audience through its visuals and I think there is one distinct absence that confirms that Vincent is running solo.
No wedding ring at any point in his life.
Mandatory sidenote: marriage is an amatonormative institution, you do not need to be married in order to be in a long-term, meaningful relationship of any kind, being married does not mean you are in a long-term, meaningful relationship. Marriage is just a form of legal and often religious relationship that can be very fulfilling but is not necessary.
But considering Vincent's time period and how image obsessed he is, it's unusual that he doesn't have a wife. This is a man who changes himself to best fit his positions, someone who stops wearing his glasses for the sake of his image. He cares very much how he is perceived and wants to be idolised. He wants to live that story of success. The 40s and 50s were extremely heteronormative, this was the time of the lavender scare, it would complete the picture perfect life he wants to project, so why no marriage?
Vincent doesn't seem to allow himself to be emotionally close with anyone in any form during his life and he doesn't seem to have interest in romantic relationships.
This is contrasted by Vox in Hell where we see him display romantic attraction towards two people, Alastor and Valentino
Let's examine both of these relationships.
In the disastrous business proposal, we know from Vivziepop's interview that Vox was being sincere in his offer of an equal partnership and that he was being emotionally vulnerable in a way he'd never really allowed himself to be before. Which goes terribly for him.
The outcome is less interesting for this discussion than what proceeds it. Vox says "we've been close for a few years now, right" and later describes them as being friends. From Vox's perspective he and Alastor had been friends for multiple years before he made his proposal--a proposal that many fans have compared to a romantic proposal-- it took him years to get to the point where he wanted to make that move, where he wanted a partnership.
Now, onto Valentino. The iconic
tells us so, so much. Vox and Valentino have been operating as partners for decades. Given Vox's fondness for the ambiguity of the term partners we don't know the timeline on their romantic or sexual relationship but I really want to stress the decades part of their dynamic. The current dynamic Vox and Valentino enjoy took decades to develop.
Valentino is someone who is very free with his sexual attraction and seems to be quite quick with his romantic attraction to (but we need more info about his and Angel Dust's history to be certain about that). Doubtless, the reason Vox is squirrelly about openly calling Valentino his romantic partner now is the internalised homophobia but I don't think that precludes the idea that it took some time for Vox to be romantically interested in Val.
Given the fact that Vox proposed a business partnership to Alastor and then entered into a business partnership with Valentino, I think it's likely that Vox's approach to Valentino was similar to his with Alastor; leading in with a business relationship to develop into something romantic.
In review, in life Vincent had no close emotional relationships with anyone and seemingly never had any romantic partners. In death, Vox has had three close relationships (Alastor, Valentino, and Velvette) and has had romantic feelings for two of three. He knew Alastor and Valentino for 'years' and 'decades' respectively before having a romantic dynamic with them.
I think it's very possible that Vox is a demiromantic bisexual. He feels sexual attraction in an allosexual way but will only feel romantic attraction if he already has a strong relationship with the other--seemingly for years beforehand.
