Bella Thorne shared some pretty big news with a simple ‘yes’ on Twitter Tuesday night: she is bisexual.
The actress, 18, replied to a fan who asked if she was bisexual in a brief Twitter exchange.
It came after many fans speculated about the ex-Disney star’s sexuality after a photo of Thorne kissing an unidentified woman emerged online.

In a joint statement they said they still loved each other, but “after much thought and soul-searching,” they were mutually ending their relationship.
“We will always love each other and have a deep respect for one another, as we have each grown to be better people because of our time together,” they said in the statement to People magazine. “Our schedules made seeing each other difficult, and we decided that for now this would be best.”

“Aww thank you for all the accepting tweets from everyone. I love you guys #pride,” Thorne tweeted to fans after.
