'Bridgerton' Star Admits Romance with a Woman Reshaped Her Views on Sex
13:30 4 July, 2026Genevieve Chennour, the 28-year-old actress who played Clara Livingston in Netflix’s hit period drama Bridgerton, has opened up about a recent passionate romance with a woman. According to the star, the experience—which took place during a working trip to the Greek island of Mykonos—"completely reshaped her understanding of sex."
"It wasn’t planned, even though I had thought about it for most of my life," Genevieve candidly shared in a personal blog post. "I’ve kissed girls before. But this time was different. What happened changed my perspective on intimacy. It was sex filled with tenderness and kindness."
"For the first time, I realized how much joy can come from mindfully giving pleasure to another person. The thought that I was making a woman feel that way gave me an unexpected sense of empowerment," she noted.
Despite the profound experience in Mykonos, Chennour emphasized that she feels "no need to clearly label her sexual orientation."
