Love life and boyfriend

Some of her fans have claimed that the popular actress is perhaps lesbian, and isn’t ready to come out of the closet; they’ve pointed out the fact that Lily hasn’t been spotted spending time with men whom she could have perhaps dated, but that there are people who believe having seen her spending time with her girlfriend in Los Angeles, California; this remains unconfirmed, and unaddressed by Lily.
There are also those who believe that she’s currently focused on her career, and isn’t interested in pursuing love.
Lily seems to be single as of October 2022, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.
