Stacy London is ready to put a label on her sexuality.

The former “What Not To Wear” host, who has been dating partner Cat Yezbak since 2018, had a definitive response when asked how she identifies at the American Ballet Theatre in New York City

“I feel like I want to say lesbian because there aren’t enough of us,” she told Us Weekly on Tuesday. “It’s not just about one type of lesbian culture. I want people to see the spectrum, and so I identify as such.”

London, 55, even took a moment to thank people in younger generations who have welcomed her into the LGBTQIA+ community –– even later on in life.

“You have Gen Z breaking all the systemic rules and me, Gen X, breathing a sigh of relief that we thought we had to be straight and perfect.

“It was only, ‘Be like a duck, calm where everyone can see and then flail underneath.’ Now I feel like we can own our identities in a universal way without fear and without shame.”

London credited those younger than her for evolving sexuality into a “spectrum.” stacylondonreal/Instagram “Now I feel like we can own our identities in a universal way without fear and without shame,” she gushed. Instagram/stacylondon

The fashionista explained that she came out to her friends and family when she was 48 years old, and found comfort in viewing her sexuality as a “spectrum” at the time.

“I love the fact that people can say the words pansexual, bisexual and have it be a spectrum. In the ’50s and ’60s, there was none of that. When I was growing up, there were none of those words that made people feel seen,” she told the outlet.

When asked about the possibility of marrying her longterm partner, London was tight-lipped.

“Maybe! We have talked about it, we’ll see,” she said.

London first made her relationship with Yezbak public in a December 2019 Instagram post.

“So I used to date men. Now I date her,” she wrote, in part, adding that she “fell in love, truly in love, with this beautiful, sexy, kind soul.”

The two have since shared several sweet snaps of their relationship over the years. stacylondonreal/Instagram London and Yezbak made headlines in September when they were spotted on a double date with “cozy”-looking Ashlyn Harris and Sophia Bush (left). Getty Images

Since then, the pair has not been shy in sharing their love with the world.

The ex-TLC personality and her partner made headlines in September 2023 when they were seen on a double date with “cozy”-looking Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris months before the latter revealed their romance.

By April, Bush, 41, confirmed that she was “queer” and dating Harris, 38.
