Laverne Cox<\/strong><\/a> is opening up about her deep connection and meaningful relationship with a man who held opposing political views<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in sheer bliss with this man and you know, things would come up and we would agree to disagree about some political things,\u201d Cox, 54, said while appearing on Wednesday, June 10, episode of The New York Times<\/em>\u2019 \u201cModern Love\u201d podcast<\/a>. \u201cProblematic but not, like, offensive. He had been, the way he grew up and algorithms he was given, information he was consuming that he had been propagandized to. So I tried to give him grace there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Orange is the New Black<\/em><\/a> star continued, \u201cI would understand that his facts were not facts \u2014 that they were wrong \u2014 and I would express that. I would, you know, offer to look things up and cross reference sources.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cox was in a three-and-a-half year relationship with a member of the New York City Police Department who voted for President Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a> in all three presidential elections. While appearing on The View<\/em><\/a> on Monday, June 8, Cox said she initially had a \u201cno dating cops\u201d policy, further claiming that her ex initially told her he worked in real estate.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTheo Wargo\/Getty Images Laverne Cox is learning to cope with her recent breakup one day at a time. \u201cI am recently single,\u201d Cox, 51, said during the Thursday, May 16, episode of Nick Viall\u2019s \u201cThe Viall Files\u201d podcast. \u201cIt\u2019s really new, it\u2019s literally over a month. It\u2019s weird to talk about.\u201d Cox met her last [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It wasn\u2019t until the two were already deep in love that she realized he was a MAGA supporter<\/a> and a police officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it started out, there was a beautiful, amazing guy who treated me better than anyone I\u2019d ever met,\u201d Cox told The View<\/em> cohosts at the time. \u201cThe political affiliation became obvious, but I\u2019d already had feelings for him, and I wanted to see him as a human being beyond that. His politics and his unexamined life became clear after the three-and-a-half-years. I was like, \u2018I love him, but I love myself more.\u2019 And staying in this relationship betrayed myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
