“I’m gay and I’m bi and date women and men,” she proudly said at the time.

The model also divulged that she is currently “talking to” a woman, who kicked off their romance by “liking” one of her Instagram photos, but she did not name the person.

Although she kept the woman’s identity a secret, she gushed over how “emotionally aware” and “very patient” the individual is.

“She’s just been very understanding and letting me take this at my own pace because it is just still foreign to me and it is so new. [It’s the] level of understanding and just being there for me,” Taylor said.
