But I can\u2019t bring children into my lifestyle now.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI want to make sure I\u2019m going to be present.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019m reading books on adoption. I might co-parent with a woman, but I\u2019m thinking it will be with a man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 36-year-old star came out to his close friends and family in his early 20s but admitted his sexuality had been a gradual realisation and he even dated a woman for two years in his 20s.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;It\u2019s interesting with the binary, where you\u2019re perceived to be either this or that. That\u2019s how I saw it at the time, but there are so many nuances to it. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;My experience of that relationship was not that I was in the shadows. She remains one of my best friends.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI think other people understood my sexuality before I was even aware of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut the &#8216;Bridgerton&#8217; star recalled being in primary school and enjoying a sleepover with friends.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe asked: &#8220;Guys, guys, who else thinks they\u2019re gay? Do you? I do. I do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added: &#8220;It was a conversation I really, really wanted to have, to see if everyone else was on the same page. But everyone went quiet&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;[At school]  I was having trouble with my work and [a teacher] said, \u2018Well, if you weren\u2019t so busy being a fairy you\u2019d understand.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nJonathan has always been &#8220;confident&#8221; in public displays of affection but he admitted there have been occasions when he&#8217;s been &#8220;heckled&#8221; as a result.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cI\u2019ve always been a confident hand-holder in relationships.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI had a boyfriend who wasn\u2019t experienced at holding hands in public. We got heckled in London. But that kind of behaviour is now outweighed by the smiles you get.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, after becoming a household name thanks to &#8216;Bridgerton&#8217;, Jonathan admitted he initially &#8220;struggled&#8221; with the fame it brought.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cIt felt quite hard-hitting after &#8216;Bridgerton&#8217; came out. I really struggled initially; I was overwhelmed by it. But the people in your life have to adapt too.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;That\u2019s the hardest thing: you see them struggling before you see it in yourself, someone pushing past your dear mum and dad to get a picture. I\u2019m really good now at saying no to photos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jonathan-bailey-wants-children-one-day-1410561.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 December 2024 Jonathan Bailey wants to have a child.
