Love Island USA star Courtney Boerner has opened up about her bisexuality in a new interview.
Back in July, the reality TV star made waves when she became the third openly queer person to be featured in the popular dating series.
Ahead of the show’s premiere on 19 July, Peacock shared “fun facts” about the 24-year-old, including details regarding her bisexuality.
“Celeb crushes: Keanu Reeves, Michael B. Jordan, Will Smith and James Franco. Hates bad breath more than anything… keep it minty people! Has had 19 plastic surgeries. Could not live without her jewellery… or her vibrator! Loves a great personality and has dated both men and women,” she said.
Before Boerner’s inclusion, the show had never highlighted an OG islander’s sexuality before its premiere episode.
With Love Island USA season 4 officially over, the young influencer has opened up about her identity in a new interview with PRIDE.
When asked about her labels, Boerner told the news outlet that she definitely identified as bisexual.
“I also think there’s a difference between actually being interested in girls and finding them attractive,” she said.
“I feel like a lot of girls are like bisexual, but to actually be down to date a woman and share your life on a romantic level with a woman… it is different than wanting to make out and wanting to hook up once or twice, you know what I mean?”
She went on to describe her past romantic relationships with women as “some of the deepest and most amazing connections” she’s ever had in her life.
Towards the end of the interview, Boerner opened up about the moment that sparked her coming out journey.
“My first best friend that I made in high school was bisexual. We were having a sleepover at her house and she tried to hook
