Jonathan Bailey admits he’d ‘co-parent with a woman’ despite being openly gay

“Wicked” actor Jonathan Bailey said he would “co-parent with a woman” despite being openly gay.

He made the remark while confirming he hopes to be a father one day during a recent interview with British Vogue published Thursday.

“I might co-parent with a woman, but I’m thinking it will be with a man,” he theorized.

However, he is in no rush to be a dad and cited his busy schedule.

“It’s such a privilege for a man,” he conceded. “But I can’t bring children into my lifestyle now … I want to make sure I’m going to be present.”

He is currently preparing himself for the process, though, by reading books on adoption.

Bailey, 36, revealed last December that he is dating a “lovely” man but the identity of his partner remains unknown.

“It’s not secret, but it’s private,” he told the Standard in December 2023. “Having a private life is, for me, completely critical.”

“I don’t know if I would be able to be as confident to speak out on other things if I felt that my whole life was up for grabs.”

He was not open to discussing his relationship status or the “lovely” man during his chat with British Vogue.

However, Bailey did frankly speak about discovering his sexuality and dating a woman for two years in his early 20s. He noted that the woman is still one of his best friends.

“It’s interesting with the binary, where you’re perceived to be either this or that,” he reflected. “That’s how I saw it at the time, but there are so many nuances to it.”

“I think other people understood my sexuality before I was even aware of it,” he candidly confessed.

He remembered a handful of telling experiences growing up, one of which occurred during a sleepover with some elementary school pals.

The “Bridgerton” star recalled “really, “really” wanting to have a conversation about gayness with his classmates, but they turned him down.
