Angie Kent has revealed how she discovered her true self after being in her first ‘queer’ relationship.
The Gogglebox Australia star tells this week’s edition of Star Magazine who has not been in a relationship with a man in three years.
“I always blamed myself. I thought I needed more therapy or that I wasn’t a dateable person. I’m a person who falls in love with the soul, not because of the other person’s appearance or identity,” the 34-year-old said.
“Then I had my first queer relationship and I thought, ‘Well, this is what I’ve been missing,'” she continued.
“I’m not really afraid of being alone. I don’t think my goal in life is to find my soulmate.”
Angie also said she has embraced her fluid sexuality since appearing on The Bachelorette.
“Feeling like I had to be a Barbie doll (on that show) didn’t sit well with me,” she said.
