Watch: Anna Camp Details Becoming Her "Truest Self" After Coming OutAnna Camp is feeling aca-amazing in her new life. The Pitch Perfect actress-who confirmed her relationship with girlfriend Jade Whipkey in May-got candid about embracing her authentic identity. "I just want to share that it is never too late to evolve into your truest self," Anna told Out Magazine in an interview published Oct. 16. "Dismantling the mask of armor I had created for myself in order to navigate and survive taught me just that. I was merely surviving, not really living. And now I finally feel like I'm becoming the real Anna, thriving and alive." Indeed, while she is happy with her journey, the 43-year-old admitted that she's still navigating through some guilt. "The largest obstacle I faced this year personally was juggling the emotions about coming out in my 40s," she said. "Which included guilt for not embracing it sooner and excitement for finally being free from the constraints that had been placed on me by society and my upbringing."readPitch Perfect's Anna Camp Reacts to "Hubbub" Over Jade Whipkey RelationshipAmid her journey, the You actress-who was married to Pitch Perfect costar Skylar Astin from 2016 to 2019 as well as Michael Mosely from 2010 to 2013-had a great support system.

"I came out when I was 17 but I didn't understand at the time what a big deal that was," she told People in October 2023. "I didn't understand why that was scary." "Of course there was a lot of positivity and love and acceptance but then there was a lot of negativity, and I did lose a lot," she continued.

"It took a lot of unlearning, and there's still things I"m still confused about, and [it's] why I feel so uncomfortable being gay sometimes," she continued.
