Jill Soloway confirmed this week that
she is dating another woman.
The 50-year-old Soloway is best known
for creating, executive producing and directing the Amazon original
series Transparent. She won the Best Director award at the
Sundance Film Festival for Afternoon Delight and is also known
for her work on HBO's Six Feet Under.
She confirmed that she is out in an
email to gay glossy The Advocate.
Soloway first publicly discussed her
relationship with iconic poet Eileen Myles in a The New Yorker
profile.
She said in the piece that she and
husband Bruce Gilbert have decided on an amicable separation.
Soloway met Myles in the course of
doing research for a new character in season 2 of Transparent
who is being modeled on the poet. “We had pretty much an instant
connection,” Soloway
said.
