'13 Reasons Why' Star Tommy Dorfman Engaged to Girlfriend

Tommy Dorfman revealed during an interview on Rachel Bilson's "Broad Ideas" podcast that she is engaged to marry her girlfriend.

The openly transgender actress and her husband of five years, Peter Zurkuhlen, began divorce proceedings earlier this year, and it was after their split last summer that Dorfman, who dated girls in high school, started exploring her attraction to women once again, E! News reported.

"I had this unresolved, unexplored thing," Dorfman said. "I was like, 'This is the year that I'm gonna go on some dates with girls and feel that out again, and not feel ashamed about it.'"

UK newspaper the Daily Mail detailed that Dorfman "stopped short of revealing the identity of her fiancée, though she did describe her as 'just a gay girl.'"

The Mail recalled that "Back in April, she shared in a TikTok video documenting her fluid sexuality, in which she said that she 'went from being a straight boy to a gay boy to a non-binary person to a trans straight woman – I thought – to I guess I am a trans lesbian.'"

Dorfman "said she was initially scared to share that she was attracted to women because she felt like she had safe friendships with women her whole life and didn't want that to change," E! said.

"Because they thought of me as a gay man, they were like, 'Oh, like you're the safest person in the world.' And then suddenly, I transition and I become a little bit more threatening, in my head," the 30-year-old actress explained.

Saying that her current relationship with another woman is "very affirming," Dorfman also said that she feels "safe. Also not safe, and like being in love is so scary."

"All the universal feelings of being in love that are probably the same," Dorfman said.
