And I\u2019ve had, sexual experiences with girls and I\u2019ve had one night stands with girls, but I feel like this is actually me.<\/p>\n "I\u2019ve never felt so comfortable in my life, I feel like I\u2019m finally where I should be. I\u2019ve never felt as comfortable with someone.<\/p>\n "Don\u2019t get me wrong, I was in love with all my exes. But this is just a different feeling, like the connection we have."<\/p>\n She continued: "I can tell her anything, it\u2019s like a best friend and the girlfriend rolled into one."<\/p>\n Before dating the Towie beauty, Megan\u00a0split with fellow Love Island contestant Wes Nelson\u00a0in 2019.<\/p>\n The couple, who met on the 2018 series of the ITV show, separated after she accused\u00a0Wes\u00a0of getting too close to his\u00a0Dancing On Ice\u00a0partner,\u00a0Vanessa Bauer.<\/p>\n Reflecting on her romance with Wes, Megan said on Ann Summers' Pleasure Positivity Project: "Before Love Island I used to date guys with long hair that looked like they hadn\u2019t washed for a few days.<\/p>\n "And then I got with like the six-pack, Adonis, who is like so gorgeous from every angle and that willy. <\/p>\n "I\u2019ve never seen one like that! As much as I hate him now, that was a good d**k!"<\/p>\n Chatting with\u00a0Jamie Laing\u00a0on the "Private Parts" podcast Megan\u00a0revealed her complex romance that included both a boy and a girl.<\/p>\n The\u00a0social media\u00a0personality and\u00a0model\u00a0has been\u00a0open about her sexuality, so when asked "when did you realise you were bisexual?", she explained one of her past relationships.<\/p>\n She said: "At college, I had a best friend, and she had a boyfriend and I felt myself getting weirdly jealous when she\u2019d be like, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m going to hang out with him now'.<\/p>\n "And I didn\u2019t know whether it was just normal or not. I've always just appreciated women.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/JF-SPORT-GEMMA-COMP.jpg\")
