American actress Taylor Schilling has confirmed her romantic relationship with artist Emily Ritz.
The Orange Is The New Black star, 35, is best known for her role as Piper Chapman in the prison ensemble drama.
On Sunday for Pride 2020, musical and visual artist Emily Ritz posted an image of herself and Schilling embracing on a foggy clifftop.
Ritz captioned the image: "I couldn't be more proud to be by your side @TaylorSchilling Happy Pride!"
Schilling shared the image on her Instagram story with multiple red heart emojis to show the love.
According to Just Jared, the pair met through mutual friends before developing a romantic relationship last year.
Taylor previously spoke to the Evening Standard about how she is not keen on labelling herself or her relationships.
She said in 2017: "I really don't fit into a box — that's too reductive... I've had wonderful relationships.
"I've had a lot of love, and I don't have any qualms about where it comes from."
The actress has maintained that she very much likes to keep her private life to herself.
"I think it’s pretty invasive," she said of questions that pry into her personal relationships.
She went on to add to her sentiment of being anti-labels when speaking with The Times last year.
Schilling said: "I've had relationships with men and I've had relationships with women.
"It's been about the person, not their gender.
"It's a much more radical political act to not reduce oneself to a label simply to make other people feel more comfortable.
"I have had serious relationships with a lot of different people."
Orange Is The New Black concluded its run on Netflix last year following seven critically-acclaimed series.
One of the most high-profile relationships in the series was the on-off lesbian relationship between Schillings' Piper and her fellow convicted felon Alex Vause (Laura Prepon).
After the end of OITNB, Schilling was seen in the horror film The Prodigy, which was released last year in cinemas.
