Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Layla Taylor has soft-launched her new girlfriend, a week after coming out as bisexual.
The reality star, 25, teased the relationship in an Instagram video posted on 6 July, in which she held hands with a woman who remained off-screen.
“‘You’re glowing recently’ thanks, I’m dating a woman now,” Taylor wrote in overlaid text, adding in the caption: “Chivalry isn’t dead it’s [with] the lesbians.”
The post came a week after she came out as bisexual during an appearance on Jay Shetty’s podcast On Purpose on 29 June.
“It’s just something that I honestly didn’t really know how to formally address for a long period of my life,” she told the host, revealing she had known about her attraction to women since she was “little” but had struggled to share it publicly.
She went on: “Growing up, I didn’t fit in for a lot of reasons in my childhood. I grew up in a very predominantly white area, and being a little Black girl, I already stood out so much to my peers and took that on a lot more than I feel like I realised.”
Taylor added: “I kind of laugh about it now because I would be watching shows like Pretty Little Liars and I would watch, like, Shay Mitchell kissing a girl. I was like, ‘Wait, why is that hot?’
“But I didn’t know what those feelings were because I didn’t have queer representation around me of [someone] I could look at it and be like, ‘OK, this is normal.’ I just didn’t have people around me that modelled that.”
