Renowned actress Chloë Grace Moretz has officially come out in a deeply personal social media post, sharing her truth with the world at the age of 27.
Moretz, who has been in the spotlight since childhood, first captivated audiences with her performances in horror, drama, and action films, including The Amityville Horror, Desperate Housewives, and Kick-Ass, where she played the fearless Hit-Girl. As her career evolved, she continued starring in Hollywood blockbusters, building a loyal fanbase along the way.
Now, as the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, Moretz has chosen this moment to open up about her sexuality, a topic she has previously addressed subtly but never fully defined—until now.
A Hollywood Star Who Kept Her Private Life Away from the Spotlight
Unlike many celebrities who openly share the details of their personal lives, Moretz has remained relatively low-key when it comes to discussing her romantic relationships. However, that hasn’t stopped speculation, especially considering her high-profile romance with Brooklyn Beckham, which played out over several years.
The actress and Beckham, the son of David and Victoria Beckham, were first linked in 2014. Though Moretz kept the details private, she did open up in an interview with Teen Vogue, saying:
“What I find really interesting about Brooklyn—and what I love about him—is that he is truly passionate about what he wants. He has this determination to be a professional soccer player, and I respect people who take their ambitions seriously.”
However, even as the media obsessively followed their relationship, Moretz remained cautious. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she was asked to define their status, but she simply responded:
“He’s a really good guy, and I enjoy spending time with him.”
When the host pressed her for clarification, she playfully dodged the question with a coy, “Maybe…”
Moretz and Brooklyn Beckham: A Relationship That Fizzled Out
By 2016, Moretz finally confirmed they were dating. During another appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she told host Andy Cohen:
“Yes, we’re in a relationship, but honestly, it’s no big deal. The less serious I make it, the less people care.”
Despite their public acknowledgment, their relationship remained on-and-off until 2018, when they finally called it quits for good.
Brooklyn Beckham has since married actress and model Nicola Peltz, tying the knot in 2022. Meanwhile, Moretz has been romantically linked to model Kate Harrison for over five years, sparking rumors about her sexuality well before she made her recent statement.
Hints About Her Sexuality Over the Years
While Moretz had never explicitly defined her sexuality before, she had openly supported the LGBTQ+ community and even played a queer character in one of her most critically acclaimed films, The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018).
In the coming-of-age drama, Moretz portrays a teenager forced into a conversion therapy camp after being caught in an intimate moment with another girl. While promoting the film, she spoke about her longstanding activism for LGBTQ+ rights, saying:
“I’ve been passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community since I was a little girl.”
During another interview, a reporter pointed out that she was included in an article discussing straight actors playing LGBTQ+ roles, to which Moretz responded sharply:
“Oh really? Well, first of all, let’s not assume anyone’s sexuality. I think that’s the most important thing. People should never be labeled just because of a role they play or how they present themselves publicly.”
She continued, stressing her belief that society places unnecessary pressure on individuals to define themselves:
“I don’t think of myself as this label or that label. We’re all just human, trying to live our lives and love who we love. People need to stop projecting their own expectations onto others and just let us be who we are.”
Despite these strong statements, Moretz never officially came out—until now.
Chloë Grace Moretz Publicly Identifies as a ‘Gay Woman’
In a recent Instagram post, Moretz finally confirmed her sexuality, referring to herself explicitly as a “gay woman” while urging her fans to vote in the 2024 presidential election.
She wrote:
“I voted early, and I voted for Kamala Harris.
“There is so much at stake this election. I strongly believe that the government has no right over my body as a woman. Decisions about my health should be made solely between me and my doctor. Kamala Harris will fight to protect those rights for us.”
She then made her personal identity public, stating:
“As a gay woman, I also know how important it is that we have legal protections that safeguard the LGBTQ+ community. We deserve access to the rights, respect, and care that should be a given for all people in this country.”
Her post ended with a call to action, urging her followers to participate in the election:
“SO… Are you voting early? Let’s plan ahead, make sure you have a way to the polls, and bring your friends along with you!”
Fans React to Moretz’s Coming Out Moment
Although Moretz disabled comments on her Instagram post, fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their support and excitement over her coming out.
One fan wrote:
“I love her for this. She’s been an ally for years, but it’s amazing to see her finally embracing herself publicly.”
Another added:
“It’s beautiful to see her finally define herself. She and Kate have been together for years, and it’s clear they love each other. I’m so happy for her.”
With this powerful statement, Moretz has now cemented her place as one of Hollywood’s most influential queer voices, joining the growing list of public figures who are choosing to live their truths unapologetically.
