Actress Bella Thorne has responded to questions about her sexuality, which came after she reposted a photo of her sharing a kiss with another female. After Bella, 18, shared the snap on her timeline, a fan asked: "Are you bisexual?"
Bella simply responded: "Yes." Although she didn't provide fans with further details, the girl was later identified as her best friend Bella Pendergast. Twitter users were quick to praise Bella for not making a big deal out of the situation, and she later thanked them for the kind messages.

It's unclear whether there is anything romantic between Bella and her friend, but she is single after recently splitting from British actor Gregg Sulkin, 24.

The couple dated for a year and, in a joint statement, said of the break-up: "After much thought and soul-searching, we have made the difficult decision to end our relationship. We will always love each other and have a deep respect for one another, as we have each grown to be better people because of our time together. Our schedules made seeing each other difficult, and we decided that for now this would be best."
Earlier this month The Duff star Bella made a public declaration of love for her close friend, as she wished Bella Pendergast a happy birthday on Twitter.
She wrote: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SOULMATE. So lucky to have you baby. @bellapendergast."
