The model and TikToker, who currently boasts over six million followers on the platform, opened up about her sexuality for the first time in an interview with Teen Vogue. “I want to announce that I’m bisexual, and I’m now proud to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community,” said Ponton, who was born in Naples, Florida. “I feel like it didn’t really even occur to me until I moved out here [to Los Angeles] that being bisexual was even a possibility in my brain.” In the interview, Ponton opened up about how she met her girlfriend, fellow TikToker Kaila Novak.
She slid into her DMs and was “curved” for a week before Kaila answered, and the two started seeing each other full-time in January.
