Kristanna Loken in Relationship with Michelle Rodriguez
by Sarah Warn,
November 14, 2006
A
handful of men and women have come out this year: Neil Patrick
Harris. T.R. Knight. Lance Bass. Iyari
Limon. And Kristanna Loken, who in January
publicly acknowledged for the first time her past relationships
with women, saying, "I have dated and have had sex
with men and women and have to say that the relationships
I have had with certain women have been much more fulfilling,
sexually and emotionally, than those with certain men."
Now
Loken,
who came to fame with her role in Terminator 3
(2003) and is guest-starring on The
L Word's upcoming fourth season as a possible love
interest of Shane's (Kate Moennig), is talking publicly about her current relationship--with actress Michelle Rodriguez.
In
a new
interview with The Advocate for their November
21st issue, Loken confirmed she's in a relationship, and
then "found an adorable way of letting us know that
she's involved with her equally sexy Bloodrayne
co-star Michelle Rodriguez".
The
Advocate published the following excerpt from the upcoming
interview:
Advocate:
What about all the stuff that was said about you and Michelle
on the shoot?
Loken: [Laughs, then takes a deep breath] There is the $64,000
question. Um…I don’t even know how to answer
that.
It
seems like you both had a lot of fun partying.
Uh-huh. [Smiles, doesn’t say anything]
OK,
your silence says volumes. [Both laugh]
Just don’t look upstairs, OK?
Ooh,
OK. You don’t want me to print that?
You can print it. [Laughs again] The very hot housekeeper.
No, just joking.
While
her comments are just vague enough that they could be interpreted
to mean something other than that she's dating Rodriguez,
it would be a stretch. And even if Loken's comments are
coy, The Advocate's are not.
Without
some sort of firm confirmation, the news magazine would
not use the headline "Kristanna and Michelle in Love",
refer to them as the "hot new couple", or make
the statement that Kristanna "found an adorable way
of letting us know that she's involved with her equally
sexy Bloodrayne co-star Michelle Rodriguez".
Our
sources also confirm that Rodriguez and Loken have been
dating for awhile.
Last
December, Loken told FHM magazine that while she
and Michelle were in Romania filming BloodRayne,
"We’d hang out, drink a lot of crappy vodka and
hit the clubs. One of them had a pool inside it. We would
go, get really drunk and end up swimming in it by the end
of the night." When asked by FHM if she made
out with Rodriguez, Loken would only answer, "I plead
the fifth on that."
Speculation
about Rodriguez' sexual orientation has abounded since her
breakout role in the 2000 film Girlfight, and persisted
throughout her career in projects like The Fast and
the Furious, Blue Crush, and most recently, Lost.
In July, the actress told the UK Cosmo that she
wasn't gay, but had experimented with both sexes.
So
far, Rodriguez has declined to comment on Loken's new revelation.
But given the power of the Internet to snowball news like
this, she may not be able to stay quiet for long.
