She said:
"I'm gay. Megan's my girlfriend. ... These aren't secrets to people who know me," Bird told Voepel. "I don't feel like I've not lived my life."
"I think people have this assumption that if you're not talking about it, you must be hiding it like it's this secret. That was never the case for me."
Bird encountered Megan briefly in 2016 and later at the Rio Olympics. Rapinoe shared,
"We have a lot in common and just sort of clicked. I joke she is my No.1 go-to-for-advice person. She's just so level-headed."
Previously, Rapinoe was engaged to singer-songwriter Sera Cahoone. She announced the engagement via Instagram post in August 2015. However, the engagement was called off.
As of now, Megan is in a stable relationship with Sue and we wish all the happiness for the couple.
