Julie Bowen said that she once fell in love with a woman, even though she said she was straight.
“I’m straight. I’ve always been straight. I was in love with a woman for a while but she didn’t love me back,” the “Modern Family” actress said in the latest episode of her “Quitters” podcast.
“She liked women but she didn’t like me in that way,” Bowen said. “It never really took off, so I never really had to challenge my concept of my s*xuality.”
The actress came out after guest “Bachelor” alum Becca Tilley said that coming out was “stressful” for her, especially since she had been on the ABC show for two seasons.
The 34-year-old reality TV star, dating Hayley Kiyoko, told Bowen, “I’m just attracted to people.”
“I hope that one day people don’t have to come out because it causes a lot of stresses and weight added. Life is already really hard; falling in love should just be a natural, beautiful thing people shouldn’t have to explain to anybody,” she said.

Bowen, who played Claire Dunphy on “Modern Family,” said that when people ask others to “identify themselves,” they are often asking about their sexual preference and what they do “in the bedroom.”
“What you do with your body should not be the first thing we know about people or care about, its your business,” she said. “Like you said, I hope people don’t always have to come out.”
Bowen filed for a divorce from her husband, Scott Phillips, in February 2018, after being married for more than 13 years.
