The 28-year-old shared the news with campmates on the 12 January episode of Australia’s version of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! “Growing up I always thought maybe a little bit bi-curious,” Maria told David Subritzky. “And only ever dated straight people, but growing up I did have crushes on girls that I went to school with.
Even as I got older I thought I can like, appreciate an attractive woman and I’ve always been curious about that. I’m like, is it just curiosity?
Like, no, no, no – it’s not.” She added that she always “buried that side” of herself as it was “easier” to say she only dates men.
Taking to Instagram on 13 January after the episode aired, the model said she is “grateful” for the chance to share her story.
