When it comes to dating,Bella Thornedoesn’t define love based on gender, sexual identity or sexuality.
The actress, who previouslyconsidered herself to be bisexual, has come out as pansexual, explaining in an interview withGood Morning America“you like what you like.”
“I’m actually pansexual and I didn’t know that,” Thorne, 21, revealed. “Somebody explained to me really thoroughly what that is.”
“You like beings,” she said on the morning program while also promoting her new bookLife of a Wannabe Mogul. “You like what you like. Doesn’t have to be a girl or a guy or a he or she or they or this or that. It’s literally you like personality. You just like a being.”
Thorne is currently in a long-distance relationship with Italian singerBenjamin Mascolo.
Late last month Thorneshowed off their lovewhen she shared photos from their romantic trip to Sicily, Italy.
Sitting on Mascolo’s lap, Thorne flashes the camera a big smile in one photo, while in another she gives her boyfriend a kiss on the lips. “I’m very happy w you,” Thornecaptioned the photos, adding a blue heart emoji.
Mascolo, 25, is half of the Italian music duo Benji & Fede.
Thorne was first spotted alongside Mascolo in April — just days after she announced her split from boyfriendMod Sun.
She had been in a relationship with Sun and influencerTana Mongeau.

Mongeau alsoshared the news,writing, “i love her forever don’t get that twisted. she changed my life forever. don’t rly wanna talk on it.”
Mongeau reassured fans at the time that there was no bad blood between the former couple.
