Love is complicated enough without the added complications of sexual identity.
You love who you love.
All of the following celebs have had at least one same-sex relationship.
Whether they're hookups or lasting love connections, get ready to celebrate fluidity.
Sara Ramirez
Grey's Anatomy star Sara Ramirez is bisexual on and off-screen, but it wasn't until she
left the show that she came out publicly.
She did so in the form of a lengthy Twitter post in October 2016, in which she also touched
upon the problem of youth homelessness.
In March 2018, Ramirez explained why she timed her decision the way that she did.
As part of Entertainment Weekly and People's "Coming Out Stories," she said,
"An organic, incremental urgency to use my platform to empower those who are part of
these communities that I'm a part of came over me in a way that I've never felt before."
She added that she felt relief and liberation to now own all of her identities.
Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart's most famous relationship was with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.
But since they broke up, she's been publicly seen dating women, including singers Soko
and St. Vincent, and model Stella Maxwell.
In 2017, the actress told Harper's Bazaar UK,
"Some people know that they like grilled cheese and they'll eat it every day for the rest
of their lives.
I want to try everything.
If I have grilled cheese once I'm like, 'That was cool, what's next?'"
Stewart also discussed her thoughts on her relationships to Elle UK:
"When I was dating a guy I was hiding everything that I did because everything personal felt
like it was immediately trivialized … It changed when I started dating a girl.
I was like, 'Actually, to hide this provides the implication that I'm not down with it
or I'm ashamed of it.'"
Clearly, that's not the case.
"I'm like so gay, dude."
Amber Heard
Before her ill-fated marriage to Johnny Depp and her relationships with Sean Penn and Elon
Musk, Amber Heard dated photographer Tasya van Ree from 2008 to 2012.
She even briefly legally changed her last name to van Ree during the relationship
In June 2016, in the midst of Heard's acrimonious divorce from Depp, his attorneys noted in
court documents that she had previously been arrested for domestic violence against Van
Ree.
Heard allegedly got into an argument with Van Ree at an airport in September 2009 and
was accused of grabbing and striking Van Ree's arm.
Police arrested Heard for misdemeanor domestic violence, although she ultimately wasn't prosecuted.
But van Ree has defended the actress, releasing a statement saying that the incident was
"misinterpreted and over-sensationalized."
Katy Perry
Katy Perry achieved star status with her breakout hit "I Kissed a Girl" in 2008.
At the time of its release, she told OK!
Magazine that she'd kissed a girl when she was about 19 years old "and it was great,"
but she didn't expound on the experience.
But at the Human Rights Campaign Gala in March 2017, after a long string of high-profile
romances with men, the pop star admitted:
"'I kissed a girl and I liked it.'
Truth be told, A: I did more than that."
"But B: how was I going to reconcile that with a gospel singing girl raised in youth
groups that were pro-conversion camps?"
Perry also admitted that even then she knew sexuality wasn't black and white, while adding:
"I haven't always gotten it right but in 2008 when that song came out I knew that I started
a conversation."
Tom Hardy
In 2010, Tom Hardy told the Daily Mail that he previously enjoyed relationships with men,
revealing,
"I've played with everything and everyone.
I love the form and the physicality, but now that I'm in my thirties, it doesn't do it
for me."
The Mad Max: Fury Road star added,
"A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes.
I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine."
However, don't think for a second that this is something Hardy always feels like discussing.
In 2015, he famously shut down a reporter for asking about his sexuality while promoting
Legend, a film in which he stars as allegedly incestuous twins Ronnie and Reggie Kray.
Hardy later told The Daily Beast,
"I'm under no obligation to share anything to do with my family, my children, my sexuality
— that's nobody's business but my own."
