This lady was my first, and to this day only girlfriend I've ever had. If I had ever married a woman. It would have and always would have been. This legend. Finally the government is catching up. @reneebroome 🌈🙏❤️ #marriageequality I was such a lesbian for you. Hahahahhahaha #yes #loveislove

“As so many people judge it or make fun. To me, I see people I am attracted to as wonderful souls, not a gender.”

Maltman, who is now a radio host and actress, found fame on Sam Wood’s season of The Bachelor in 2015.

“Together we became inseparable,” she explained. “Without knowing. I had fallen completely in love with her. I was over the hills for her.”

While the girls are no longer an item, Maltman maintains they remain good friends.

“She is still one of my closest friends in this world. You never get over your first love.”

@sandroparis for the classic race day look. @gcturf 🇫🇷😍👨🏻‍🎨🥖 I think I've bet on every horse that is in the big race. 🏇🏻

“As soon as this vote came in she was the first person I thought of and I just cried. I’m so happy that the Aussie government can finally see what we truly want.

“And at the end of the day. Why fight it? Does it really effect your life if I loved a girl once? Nope.”

Amen!
