Has Corroded Coffin’s Eddie Munson Finally Settled Down?
While Eddie Munson’s lips have been sealed for comment, photos from last night prove they’re anything but when it comes to his new beau.
Eddie Munson and his new mystery man were spotted again last night, this time on the streets of Chicago, hand in hand as they made their way to Munson’s residence. While the rockstar took great care to hide his man’s identity, covering him in his own suit jacket and continuously stepping in the way of photographers, the two were seemingly incapable of waiting for privacy as paparazzi were able to snap several pictures of the two clearly locking lips in a move many are finding reminiscent of Munson’s maybe not-so-former licentious ways.
This is the first time the public has seen frontman Eddie Munson with anyone for more than a few weeks since his volatile breakup with director Jonathan Byers nearly five years ago, and fans and haters alike have been speculating ever since on whether or not he’d settle down again.
However while the frontman has been more than transparent in nearly all aspects of his life, speaking candidly over the years on his most private of matters, such as the end of his previous relationship (triggered by the extremely public exposing of his then-partner’s months-long affair), the sudden and tragic death of his uncle, and his dozens of spells in rehab centers for his various addictions, the singer has barely given reporters the time of day when it comes to his new relationship.
“I’m not letting myself screw this one up.” Is the only quote Munson has so far given to reporters, taken this morning outside his Chicago apartment, “you’ll know who he is when we’re both ready for that.”
The clip has already racked up nearly a million views on Twitter as of this morning, with fans celebrating the fact that it seems as though the frontman has turned a new leaf.
“He looks so happy!!” Wrote @xXCorCofGirlXx, “if it can’t be me, then I’m glad it’s this guy🫰”
Other fans have voiced similar sentiments, with various compliments and remarks on the singer’s appearance, one fan even noting how he looks “lighter” than they’ve seen him in years.
Unfortunately the rockstar’s track record is against him, and even long-term fans are finding it all a little hard to believe.
“This guy will be gone by next week 😒” Wrote @lovelylady77599, “why are we still believing in Eddie’s relationships again?”
Others have tweeted along similar lines, wondering how permanent of a fixture this new man will be and questioning how seriously Eddie is taking it.
It’s easy to see where the disbelief stems, as the frontman himself has admitted on more than one occasion that “love is not for him”, centering the band’s most recent album around this exact message. Their chart-topping single Never Enough has been one howled to millions as the singer belted the lyrics that promised my love will never be enough.
Despite this, the misgivings seemed to have been too much for guitarist Jeff Williams, who took to Twitter shortly after Munson’s clip went viral to say his piece.

“I’m speaking for the entire band when I say we will all have never stopped believing in Eddie. He has and always will be our best friend, and there is nothing that could make any of us happier than seeing him find his peace. We are all thankful to his person for helping him with that.”
While there will certainly continue to be questions as long as this new man remains a secret, it is difficult to remain skeptical when those closest to the singer publicly state their belief in the relationship, and in Eddie Munson as a whole.
It was not so long ago that the public was doubting the artist could ever be sober, however after publicly posting his one-year chip on Instagram several months ago, it’s safe to say Eddie Munson is one who will continue to surprise fans and haters alike.
While only time will tell how this all plays out, it seems as though Eddie Munson has finally found his home.
