People are flocking to social media in support of an 18-year-old fan after he came out to his mom in front of Bebe Rexha.

The 33-year-old American singer songwriter - formally known as Bleta Rexha - returned to the stage on 20 June to continue her Best F'n Night of My Life tour after having a phone thrown at her face two days before.

Last weekend, Kevin - and 18-year-old from Knoxville - went to meet Rexha after one of her concerts and took the opportunity to come out as gay to his mom.

In a video uploaded to her Instagram stories, Rexha can be seen holding hands with Kevin - who begins opening up to her about his mental health.

The 18-year-old says: "I moved to Tennessee. My depression was at its worst, and Better Mistakes [Rexha's 2021 album] got me through."

Rexha can be seen growing emotional, telling Kevin to 'take a deep breath' so they can 'enjoy this moment together'.

"I love you so much, you're so strong. You're so strong, I love you," she says. "He's gonna make me cry right now."

The 18-year-old fan's mum chimes in, noting he's her 'baby boy,' but Kevin hasn't finished what he wants to say just yet.

The fan then tells Rexha he's going to 'do this in front of [her]' and turns around to his mum.

Kevin reveals: "I'm gay."

The 18-year-old's mum immediately responds by reassuring her son it's 'absolutely fine' and repeatedly telling him she loves him.

Rexha then embraces Kevin and everyone around the trio erupts into applause.

The 18-year-old explained: "I wanted to say it several times before but never could do it.
