Miss Universe Australia Is ‘Obsessed’ With Her Girlfriend

January 31, 2023

"It was lust at first sight and it was obsession at first sight."

Last January, Miss Universe Australia Maria Thattil came out as bisexual.

“Growing up, I always thought, like, maybe I was a little bi-curious, and only ever dated straight people,” Thathil said on an episode of the Australian hit reality show, “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!.” She continued, “But growing up, I did have crushes on girls that I went to school with. Even as I got, like, older, I thought, I can appreciate an attractive woman. […] It just feels bloody good to say it.”

Now, Thattil is living her best life, and in true queer fashion, is *obsessed* with her girlfriend. The former Miss Universe Australia recently spoke to Stellar Magazine about her new love, Jorgia O’Hare, and how the couple was smitten with each other from the start.

“It was lust at first sight and it was obsession at first sight,” Thattil told Stellar Magazine. She also spoke about the importance of representation and visibility. “Growing up, if I had seen an interracial same-sex female couple in the media – open, visible, living truthfully – that might have shaped my own experience a little bit more positively.”
