It's March 23rd. Welcome to Entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Jessica Gunning, the 40-year-old Emmy winner from Baby Rain Deer, recently shared how she realized she was gay back in 2022. A big part of the delay was that she had never been in any relationship before, with anyone. She explained feeling content in her life, channeling energy into her acting roles, and enjoying close friendships that kept her fulfilled. Looking back, she connected her long stretch without romance, partly to her body size, which made her feel a bit different from others and helped her. Avoid facing her true feelings about men. Gunning had built a steady career in the UK for nearly two decades before Baby Rain Deer hit big in 2024. Her standout role as the stalker in the hit series earned her an Emmy and a Golden Globe, turning her into a household name overnight. Since coming out publicly, her life got even busier with the show's success, but she did start dating and has had two girlfriends so far.

Work has taken center stage, leaving less time for romance. She's staying optimistic though, holding out hope for real love, down the line, as her star keeps rising.
