Thorne previously identified as pansexual

Thorne originally identified as bisexual in a tweet she shared in 2016. She and Tana Mongeau announced they were in a relationship in September 2017. Thorne was reportedly still dating rapper Mod Sun at the time.

She and Mongeau split in February 2019. She then split with Mod Sun (Derek Ryan Smith) two months later in April.

Monsters and critics reported that Thorne first identified as pansexual during an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America in July 2019.

She appeared on the show to talk about her book, Life of a Wannabe Mogul: Mental Disarray.

She revealed during the show that she had previously thought of herself as bisexual but only recently realized that she was pansexual.

She said that being pansexual means that you just “like what you like” regardless of gender.

She later accused Mongeau of “breaking girl code.” Some fans speculated Thorne meant that she caught Mongeau dating Mod Sun behind her back.

Thorne was romantically linked with several other people, including Scott Disick, Gregg Sulkin, Charlie Puth, and Ryan Nassif.

Thorne and Mascolo were first romantically linked in April 2019

Thorne was first romantically linked with the Italian singer Mascolo in April 2019 after she officially split from Mod Sun.

Monsters and Critics reported that rumors began circulating online in October 2019 that she had a new girlfriend, Alex Martini.

People began wondering whether that meant she had broken up with Mascolo. Some fans took to her Instagram to inquire about him.

When Mascolo later posted a comment to Thorne’s Instagram expressing approval of Martini, many fans thought it meant they were in a “throuple.”
