Famous YouTuber Eva Gutowski, who has recently starred in a murder mystery webseries hosted by Joey Graceffa called Escape the Night, has come out as bisexual.
The news followed her split with boyfriend and fellow YouTuber Alex Hayes, 18. At the end of last month Eva, better known as MyLifeAsEva, revealed that their relationship had come to an end.
Done dating someone who only wanted me for followers. Life is too short to be in a messy relationship. Don't trust everyone you meet.

Eva’s subscribers immediately showed their concern, to which she responded:
I want to say I'm heart broken, but it's not even worth it. I just want to move on. Let's all be happy and move on quickly please. For me ??

A week later Eva, 22, took to Twitter yet again to shed some light on her personal life. In a series of five tweets, she came out as bisexual.
Just because you haven’t dated someone of the same sex does not mean you can’t be taken seriously as a bisexual. I am ready for myself to fall in love with someone, no matter who they end up being, and have been since I was 12. Boy or girl. Why would you limit your love to half of what it could be, based off of being scared to “not be normal”. No, love is for everybody to share. Let yourself love whoever you fall in love with. Don’t let your brain decide what boundaries your emotions have. Accepting yourself as being bisexual is not pledging to be “different”. It’s pledging to be honest.
Eva was instantly flooded with love and support from her fans for being so open and honest with them. Many have mentioned being inspired and reassured by such a powerful message.
