Heroes icon comes out as bisexual: 'Better late than never'
"That's something about me I was never able to share with the world, because it was just never the right time. It was either I was too young, and I was being forced to be perfect at all times. I was not encouraged to just be myself."
"Now that I know that this book is coming out, and that I've chosen to share it with the world, I'm comfortable to confidently say that yes, I am bisexual. I said it! This is the first time I got to say it out loud."
"I had very little privacy. I have dated women. I was much more into women even as a child than I was men. I have explored it, but because I hadn't shared this with anybody, I didn't really have the courage to throw myself fully emotionally into it."
Hayden Panettiere has come out as bisexual while promoting her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning. She expressed that she struggled to share her sexuality due to societal pressures and fears of being perceived as following a trend. At 36, she feels it's better late than never to embrace her identity. Panettiere confirmed her past relationships with women and discussed the challenges of dating in the public eye, emphasizing her desire for privacy and emotional authenticity in her romantic life.
