The reality star explained that her sexuality was something she’s known about herself from a young age, it just took her a long time to fully process and figure out: “It’s just something that I honestly didn’t really know how to formally address for a long period of my life. We’re only on this earth for however long we are here and I’ll be damned if I’m not able to be fully who I am.” Amen! She furthered: “Growing up, I didn’t fit in for a lot of reasons in my childhood. I grew up in a very predominantly white area, and being a little Black girl, I already stood out so much to my peers and took that on a lot more than I feel like I realized. I always had these thoughts, and I kind of laugh about it now because I would be watching shows like Pretty Little Liars , and I would watch, like, Shay Mitchell kissing a girl. I was like, ‘Wait, why is that hot?’” Hah! Layla continued: “But I didn’t know what those feelings were because I didn’t have queer representation around me of [someone] I could look at it and be like, ‘OK, this is normal.’ It wasn’t necessarily that I had parents — or I was Mormon at one point — but I didn’t necessarily have that pressure to not do that. I just didn’t have people around me that modeled that.” While she’d kissed girls while drunk at parties, the TikTok star “didn’t know if it was just a phase” before she tied the knot to Clayton Wessel , with whom she shares two kids: “I would just kind of underplay it for a long period of my life. [Now] I just feel like I’m finally in the era that I’m over not being truly myself and I’m over not showing every part of Layla to the world. I’m very proud now to be out.” As Mormon Wives viewers might know, Layla was most recently dating Mason McWhorter . She now credits their recent breakup to her coming out: “I just feel like I just never was in a place that I feel like I could truly authentically focus on it. Honestly, that breakup was like a blessing in disguise because I feel like now I’ve been fully able to just focus on Layla and just focus on who I truly am.” And now, she’s dating a woman! She didn’t reveal the other woman’s identity, but said she slid into Layla’s DMs after Layla liked one of her thirst trap posts. Hah! The girl shot her shot and it worked! She recalled: “We met up, and we hung out and it was just kind of like that first kiss of, like, this wasn’t like a drunk moment. Like this was me in
