Stacy London and partner Cat Yezbak keep a low profile when it comes to their relationship but they were out and proud in every way possible on June 26 and shared some adorable tidbits about their relationship exclusively with SheKnows.
The former What Not To Wear host and her comedian girlfriend were all smiles at the American Ballet Theatre’s premiere of Woolf Works at The Metropolitan Opera in New York City but admitted to SheKnows that this isn’t what their date nights usually look like.
“I’m usually in a pair of jeans and a hat covering my face,” Yezbak joked of their typically-private relationship. The couple’s adorable date night comes as Pride Month inches closer to ending so the duo are embracing pride more than ever before.
“Cat changed my life, so pride for me is very intertwined with her,” London gushed.
Yezbak added: “Pride means also freeing other people from the ties that bind them because all of our the collective liberation, right?”
Yezbak and London went public with their relationship in 2019 after a year of dating when London shared an Instagram post with a lengthy caption acknowledging how privileged she is to be able to come out publicly. “So I used to date men. Now I date her,” she wrote in part.
While at the Woolf Works premiere, London also talked to Us Weekly and reveals that she defines herself as a lesbian.
“I feel like I want to say lesbian because there aren’t enough of us,” she said. “It’s not just about one type of lesbian culture. I want people to see the spectrum, and so I identify as such.”
“I came out at 48. I love the fact that people can say the words pansexual, bisexual and have it be a spectrum,” she said. “In the ’50s and ’60s, there was none of that. When I was growing up, there were none of those words that made people feel seen.”
