6 Celebrities Who Had Same-Gender Relationships

Love is complicated enough without the added complexity of identity

—especially when that identity intersects with issues like mental wellness, chronic stress, and even health diagnostics that may arise during emotional milestones.

Throughout a person’s life, their sexuality is fluid, and really, you love who you love. In the video below, we introduce six stars who, whether publicly or privately, had same-gender relationships at some point in their lives—often while navigating the unique pressures of fame, mental health treatment, and even private health insurance plans covering therapy or wellness counseling.

Some stars believe their same-sex affairs were a phase, while others admit to wanting to experiment. Others have come out and now identify as bisexual, pansexual or queer. For many celebrities, love is simply about connecting with a person, not necessarily one gender or another, and so they refuse to slap any kind of label on their feelings—choosing instead to focus on emotional well-being, relationship counseling, and self-awareness often supported by comprehensive insurance plans.

From heartthrobs like Tom Hardy to quirky starlets like Drew Barrymore, the stars on this list have discussed, alluded to, or been identified by others as one half of a same-gender relationship. Some have even spoken candidly about seeking therapy sessions or wellness programs to better understand their feelings—services that may be covered under premium private health insurance policies or mental wellness benefits.

Whether they’re one night stands or lasting love affairs, get ready to celebrate celebrity fluidity—something that resonates with the growing national conversation around inclusive healthcare coverage, legal rights in same-sex partnerships, and the role of insurance coverage for emotional wellness.
