5 Notable People Who Came Out as Bisexual This Year

In honor of #BiWeek, let's take a look back at all the cool AF people who came out as bisexual in 2018!

Reece King

The fashion model and popular social media influencer came out as bisexual in February during an interview with Gay Times.

"I realised that whatever I said, it became a distraction," he explained. "Anything I did or posted online, people would just ask about who I’m interested in, so I just built up this defence of saying 'that’s not important.'"

"It really isn’t important, so now I just say 'yeah, I am bisexual.'"

Felix Jaehn

The DJ behind the 2015 hit "Cheerleader," came out as bisexual in February.

"Sometimes I was more interested in girls, sometimes more interested in boys," he explained to the weekly German newspaper Die Zeit. "As a teenager, that influences you. And when you realise that you also find guys attractive, that can make you unsure."

Abbi Jacobson

"I kind of go both ways; I date men and women," she told VF. "They have to be funny, doing something they love. I don’t know—I’ve never really been interviewed about this before."

Hennessy Carolina

Cardi B's (left) cool AF little sister Hennessy Carolina (right) talked about her girlfriend and her bisexuality in a June Instagram post celebrating Pride Month.

"If you can’t accept the B in LGBTQ, (L)lesbian(G)ay(B)BISEXUAL(T)ransexual(Q)ueer, then please don’t speak up for the community if you can’t fully understand ALL of us!" she wrote.

She continued:

"A bisexual girl expressing that she sometimes likes to kiss and hook up with girls especially when she gets a little loose when she drinks wine, Sounds human and normal to me! I don’t have a problem with that!! Whether you want to go out, have some drinks and hook up with the same gender for one night or whether you decide to be in a relationship with him/her, it should be no one's concern or business or even PLACE to tell you how to complete your sexual desire unless you're a pedophile! You can STILL consider yourself LGBTQ if you to choose too! Bisexual means you're attracted to both genders. No matter what’s the status of the relationship or what you chose to do with that person ... If a woman like to be in a relationship with a man but like to enjoy her sexual desire with a woman from time to time she can still considers herself to be a BISEXUAL! same goes for men..... and please if your still in your confused stage, please don’t talk for the whole community until you can fully comprehend ALL of us! We don’t like to be the judge or to be labeled! We just want be excepted for who we are... Love is love! That being said HAPPY GAY PRIDE MONTH FROM ME AND MY WIFE."

Tessa Thompson

The Creed and Thor: Ragnarok star rounded out Pride Month by coming out as bisexual in an interview with Net-a-Porter. 

"I’m attracted to men and also to women. If I bring a woman home, [or] a man, [in my family] we don’t even have to have the discussion," Thompson told Net-a-Porter.
