In a confessional, Taylor added, “Most people are surprised to find out that I’m bisexual probably just because of stereotypes.
I mean it’s not something I broadcast, but I’m open to all people who have great souls that you can love.” Taylor married Russell in October 2005 and they welcomed daughter Kennedy, now 17, in 2006. Taylor filed for divorce in July 2011, citing physical and verbal abuse.
The following month, Russell died by suicide at the age of 47. Taylor later married now-husband John Bluher in 2014. Taylor joins a long list of stars that have come out as part of the LGBTQ+ community in 2023.
