Gillian Anderson, widely known for her role in The X-Files, has shared a deeply personal chapter of her life by discussing a past lesbian relationship. The actress decided to speak up after the passing of her former lover, who died from a brain tumor.
In an interview with the Mail on Sunday’s Even magazine, Gillian shared how her ex-partner had been an important part of her life during their time together at school. Despite the relationship remaining private for years, the actress chose to honor her late lover by revealing their connection.
Gillian explained her decision to open up, stating, “She had died of a brain tumor a year earlier, and I had never really spoken about her. She was a beautiful person who was very meaningful in my life, and I wanted to honor her instead of hiding my experience.” The actress reflected on how their bond shaped her life, and how much her former partner meant to her.

The decision to share her story comes after her ex-partner turned down multiple offers to sell their story while she was alive. Gillian revealed that her ex was once offered a large sum of money to release a photo of the two of them together but chose not to go public.
“It was a very big decision because she really could have used the money,” Gillian said. She expressed gratitude for her former lover’s integrity and the choice to protect their privacy, despite needing financial support at the time.
This moment of reflection on a past love also highlights Gillian’s journey of self-acceptance. The actress, who has been married twice and had a long-term relationship with Mark Griffiths, the father of her two sons, explained how she now feels no shame about her past relationships. Gillian emphasized, “I felt it was very important to take the onus off that type of relationship, to say this happened, and I feel no shame about it.”
