Baby Reindeer star Jessica Gunning has always been single - for good reason. "I've never been in a relationship before with anyone," Gunning, 40, told The Times of London in a profile published Sunday, March 22, noting her single status initially kept her from realizing that she identified as queer. "Everyone around me was gay. I just didn't think I could be." Gunning, who publicly came out as gay in 2022, cited her questions about her sexuality as the main reason for her decision to avoid romantic relationships.
