Raven Symone has kept much of her personal life under tight wraps despite her celebrity status. While many have attempted to peer into the star’s life Raven has chosen not to divulge whether she is a lesbian or if she is even in a relationship. In a sit-down with Oprah on her Where Are They Now show, the actress finally addressed the rumor mill.

“I’m in an amazing relationship with my partner — a woman — and on the other side, my mother, and people in my family have taught me to keep my personal life to myself as much as possible so I try my best to hold the fence where I can. But I am proud to be who I am and what I am,” she said.

The 28-year-old continued to explain that she isn’t a fan of labels and prefers to not put one on herself. In general, Raven is simply “human” without a description of race or sexuality preference. “I have lots of things running through my veins. I don’t label myself. What I mean by that is I’m An American. I have darker skin,” she explains. “I have a nice interesting grade of hair. I connect with Caucasian, I connect with Asian, I connect with Black, I connect with Indian. I connect with each culture. Aren’t we all [a melting pot in one body]? Isn’t that what America is suppose to be? That’s what it’s suppose to be. I personally feel that way.”
