Maria Bello Sort Of Came Out This Weekend, In a Totally Awesome WayS

Actress Maria Bello wrote the Modern Love column in today's New York Times, using her experience explaining to her twelve-year-old son Jackson that she is now dating a woman to let the rest of the world know that it's not a big deal.

In the column, Bello explains that she finds the idea of relationships and partners to transcend gender.


Before she told her son, she wrote, she spoke to her therapist. She worried about how it would affect her career. She tried to justify her feelings. Finally, she was straightforward.

Jackson's reply? “Mom, love is love, whatever you are."
