Anna Camp Comes Out Publicly as Bisexual, Saying ‘I Only Get One Life’
anna camp has come out publicly as bisexual, saying she is proud to own her sexuality a year after confirming her relationship with girlfriend Jade Whipkey; she spoke about the decision on an upcoming episode of the “I’ve Never Said This Before” podcast. The actress said owning this truth in a public forum felt risky but was necessary for her happiness. The revelation follows a year of public milestones in the relationship, including a red carpet appearance and social posts that made the pairing visible.
What happened: the announcement and the timeline
The disclosure came in a clip from the podcast in which Anna Camp described a “major evolution” in her 40s and credited the moment as part of her own personal growth. She said, “I am a very strong person for doing it in somewhat of a spotlight with people criticizing and judging and making assumptions. I’m really proud to be bisexual. ” Camp framed the decision as a statement about pursuing happiness: “No, I only get one life and I want to be happy, ” she told Tommy DiDario, host of the “I’ve Never Said This Before” podcast.
This public coming-out follows a year in which Camp soft-launched her relationship with Jade Whipkey, an actress and on-set stylist. The couple made a red carpet appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of “Bride Hard” and had earlier been seen together in social posts and a resurfaced TikTok where Camp said, “I’m dating a woman, and it’s great. ”

She said, “As a 43-year-old woman, I am very proud of myself for owning my sexuality at this age. ” Camp emphasized that the choice was part of an ongoing evolution: “You think you’ve got this idea of who you are and that’s how your life is going to go… I could have settled. I could have said, no, I’m done evolving. ” Her comments framed the announcement as both a private reckoning and a public declaration.
