The actress Bella Thorne responded to a fan’s question on Twitter about whether or not she identifies as bisexual with a simple, “Yes.”
The query was timely because Thorne had just Snapchatted a photo of herself kissing a girl. The girl just happens to be Thorne’s brother’s ex-girlfriend and, coincidentally, is also named Bella. (Still following?) Anyway, young love!

Until recently, Throne was dating British actor Gregg Sulkin, and her brother, Remy Thorne, was dating Bella Pendergast.
After those relationships fizzled, the Bellas seemed closer than ever. And fans were shipping the two women, especially after Thorne referred to Pendergast as her soulmate.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SOULMATE. So lucky to have you baby @bellapendergast

People are pretty happy about the whole thing. Although we’re not sure how Gregg Sulkin is doing. Is he, perhaps, sulking?

But it looks like the Bellas are actually just super close gal pals in the literal sense, to borrow the preferred euphemism gossip magazines use to describe women in a romantic relationship.
Pendergast’s boyfriend posted a picture with her after Thorne’s fans started freaking out over the news.
