'Yes,' wrote the 29-year-old actress.
OITNB writer Lauren said she discovered she was gay when she started writing sexual scenes for Laura Prepon and Taylor Schilling's characters, according to her post on Identities.Mic.
She started working on the show five months after her first wedding - to a man.
'I realized I was gay in fall 2012, one of my first days on the set. It wasn't so much one thing, but the sum of many small details,' she wrote in 2014.
'I went through it all on set: I fell in love with a woman, and I watched my life play out on screen.'
She panicked and went through periods of depression, but she got divorced, kept writing herself in Piper and found happiness.
The now engaged couple reportedly began seeing each other in 2014, shortly after Lauren divorced her then-husband, Steve Basilone, in May.
