Amber Rose Gill admits she is still figuring out her sexuality after going public with her Scots footballer girlfriend Jen Beattie.
The former Love Island winner shot to fame on the 2019 series and captured the hearts of viewers with her down-to-earth personality and hilarious sense of humour. Amber revealed she was bisexual in 2022, after talking about "switching teams" as she live-tweeted through last summer's Love Island.
Since her tweet Amber, 25, has gone public with her relationship with former Scotland and current Arsenal footballer Jen, 31, and the pair have made a number of red-carpet appearances together. Amber admits that things are going "very well" between the couple, and she hopes to inspire other people to come out.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Amber said: "I hope so, as that’s another important thing for me. I think coming from a show that I came from, people weren’t expecting it. It’s taken a little while for people to get used to it."
When asked about her sexuality, the reality star said: "I’m still figuring that out – whether I did or I didn’t, I just know there was a certain point where I was like, 'I want to pursue serious relationships with women'.
"I’m still figuring it all out, so I might do some sort of TV or documentary around that, because I think it is important for someone to have a story of someone coming out late as well."
Speaking about the reaction to her coming out, Amber said: "That’s why I love doing what I do and having a positive impact on people. It’s important, and I love people who have paved the way and known since they were young and advocated for us – but also I think the people who haven’t done that are still valid and part of the community.
"I want to show them that you can still be part of the community whether you come out at 17, or 20 or 25."
