Ronaiah Tuiasosopo is gay … at least he thinks he's gay … he's not really sure — at least that's what he told Dr. Phil.

Phil appeared on “Today” this morning … and dished about his interview with the man behind the Manti Te'o not-really-dead girlfriend hoax.

“Here we have a young man that fell deeply, romantically in love,” Phil said of Ronaiah.

“I ask him straight up … was this a romantic relationship with you? And he says, 'Yes.'”

Phil continued … “I said, are you then, therefore, gay?  And he says, 'Well, when you put it that way, yes.'”

Phil says Ronaiah then “caught himself” and said, “I am confused.”

We are a bit perplexed ourselves, Ronnie.

Tuiasosopo also said that Te’o was absolutely not involved in the hoax.

Stand by while the buzzer sounds on this guy’s 15 minutes of fame.
