==Gender and orientation==
Eureka lived as a [[trans woman]] for nearly five years starting from when they were 19 and had a boyfriend who was supportive of their feminine side. However, the couple broke up when Eureka realized the boyfriend was abusive. This led Eureka to have "a year of self-discovery" and determine that "I did not feel like a man, and I did not feel like a woman." Since then, Eureka is living as an out and proud [[gender neutral]] person.<ref name="Friedman">{{Cite web |title='Drag Race' Finalist Eureka O'Hara: You Can Overcome Anything |last=Friedman |first=Megan |work=Seventeen |date=25 June 2018 |access-date=25 February 2021 |url= https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/movies-tv/a21775397/eureka-ohara-rupauls-drag-race-it-gets-better-interview/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701165238/https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/movies-tv/a21775397/eureka-ohara-rupauls-drag-race-it-gets-better-interview/ |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>

In a 2019 interview, Eureka shared that they are "[[pansexual]] or [[demisexual]]", stating that "If I connect with someone and there's that energy there, then I can find myself being sexually attracted to a person regardless if they're male, female, trans, anything."<ref name="Masters">{{Cite web |title=Drag Race's Eureka O'Hara Shares Their Personal Journey With Gender |last=Masters |first=Jeffrey |work=The Advocate |date=22 October 2019 |access-date=25 February 2021 |url= https://www.advocate.com/television/2019/10/22/drag-races-eureka-ohara-tells-us-why-they-detransitioned|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221126092645/https://www.advocate.com/television/2019/10/22/drag-races-eureka-ohara-tells-us-why-they-detransitioned |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>
