Gillian Anderson discusses her sexuality in a new interview, saying she had a “secretive” relationship during her teenage years with “an older girl at school.” The reports describe her account as candid and focused on her personal experiences.

The articles also state that Anderson comments on her relationship with The Crown creator Peter Morgan, referring to him as her “life partner.” Across the coverage, the central themes are her reflections on a past same-sex relationship and her description of her current romantic partnership.

While the outlets use similar wording, they frame the story mainly around the rarity and openness of her comments rather than providing new, independently verified details beyond Anderson’s own statements. The reporting does not add further context about the individuals involved or the specifics of the earlier relationship beyond what Anderson says in the interview.
