Roberts also announced the news of their engagement on her Instagram Story with a photo of the proposal. She added The Beatles’ “She Loves You,” which is especially fitting since Roberts, like the band, hails from Liverpool.
Feldstein previously said Teenage fashion that she wasn’t a relationship person until she met Roberts. She explained: “It wasn’t something I thought about or wanted. Not to sound flippant, but I was in love with her and all of her, and she’s a woman… It doesn’t scare me or hold me back. it wasn’t just women in general; it was her in particular.”
Feldstein also opened up about her sexuality at the 2019 premiere Booksmart at SXSW. In the film, she plays the excited Molly who wants one night of wild partying Caitlin DeverAmy is a lesbian chasing a classmate she has a crush on. In accordance with Page sixsaid Feldstein during a panel discussion at the time: “It was absolutely essential for me to see this film. My partner is a woman. There’s a love scene between two girls and they’re messing with their sneakers and can’t get their jeans off. All these moments make me tear up because representation is really important.”
She added: “I think if I could have seen our film earlier, I would have found myself a little earlier.”
