Bella Thorne swings both ways

Actress Bella Thorne came out as bisexual in a Twitter exchange on Tuesday night. The Shake It Up actress replied, “Yes,” after a fan asked her if she was bisexual. Soon after making the revelation, she received an outpouring of love and support from her fans.

Appreciating the support, Bella Tweeted, “Aww thank you for all the accepting tweets from everyone. I love you guys. #pride.”

Many had speculated about the 18-year-old star’s sexuality after a photo of her kissing an unidentified female emerged online this month. Also, the revelation follows Bella’s break-up with boyfriend Gregg Sulkin, 24, earlier this month, after dating for a year.

The couple told People.com back then: “After much thought and soul-searching, we have made the difficult decision to end our relationship. We will always love each other and have a deep respect for one another, as we have each grown to be better people because of our time together. Our schedules made seeing each other difficult, and we decided that for now this would be best.”
