Pitch Perfect star Anna Camp has reflected on coming out and says she has been “so welcomed and so supported”.

The 42-year-old US actor came out publicly earlier this year when she was asked by a social media reporter what she expects from a guy on the first date.

Camp indicated the woman, Jade Whipkey, next to her as she responded: “I don’t expect anything, not anymore! Because I’m dating a woman, and it’s great”.

Chatting to Pride about her new movie Bride Hard Camp said, “It’s been really wonderful to be so welcomed and so supported, especially by my really beautiful, wonderful friend here.”

@pinknews Anna Camp has confirmed she is “dating a woman”, telling fans that her relationship with her girlfriend is “great!” The Pitch Perfect star, who was recently praised by fans for her dual performance in Netflix’s You, made the comments about her dating life during a resurfaced TikTok video from earlier in the year. The video from user Mr.Big.USA shows Camp and a woman, who has reportedly been identified as Jade Whipkey, describing their worst date ever. “I left a date once because a guy was like 45 minutes late and I stayed and waited,” Camp began. “And then he said that I was prettier in a movie than I was in person, because I’m an actor,” said the star. “And I was like, ‘Okay, bye!’” The pair were then asked what they expect from a guy on the first date, to which Camp responded: “I don’t expect anything, not anymore! Because I’m dating a woman, and it’s great.” Camp also appeared to soft-launch their relationship, with the actress tagging Whipkey in a photo on a recent story and writing, “Date Night”. Whipkey, who served as the stylist for season two of T and Coco, also appeared to echo the sentiment on her story. “Her smile is a poem, her eyes are roses, her laugh is music for dancing,” she wrote atop a photo of Camp on her Instagram story on Monday (12 May). Although Anna Camp has not labelled her identity, the actress did appear to suggest in the resurfaced TikTok that she no longer dates men. Camp has also been married twice to men. In 2013, Camp divorced fellow actor Michael Mosley after their three-year marriage. Then, in 2016, the star married her Pitch Perfect co-star Skylar Astin (who played Jesse Swanson in the franchise). They divorced in 2019. A few of Camp’s fellow Pitch Perfect co-stars are part of the LGBTQ+ community. In 2019, Dear Evan Hansen actor Ben Platt came out as gay, while Rebel Wilson announced her relationship in 2022 with now-wife Ramona Agruma after being threatened to be outed by a Sydney Morning Herald journalist. #lgtbqia #wlwrelationship #pitchperfect #you #dating #relationship #annacamp ♬ vlog, chill out, calm daily life(1370843) – SUNNY HOOD STUDIO

Camp, who hasn’t publicly defined her sexuality, joined her Pitch Perfect and Bride Hard co-star Rebel Wilson – who identifies as queer – for the interview.

“Life is an evolution, I’ve continued to evolve,” Camp then said. “And I’m very, very happy where I am today.”

Camp and Wilson also joked in the interview that “All the Bellas are gay now!”. The [Barden] Bellas are the fictional all-female acapella group in the Pitch Perfect movies.

Besides Wilson and Camp, Ester Dean, who plays Bella member Cynthia Rose, in the Pitch Perfect films is also queer.

Wilson, who came out publicly in 2022, went on to recall that on the set of Pitch Perfect 2, “a lot of us girls were having a chat in between takes about sexuality. It was such a kind, honest, open chat. It really meant a lot to me that day on set.”
