Lily Phillips is known for her outrageous online stunts, but the content creator has rarely spoken about her dating life – until now, as she candidly opens up about being bisexual
Content creator Lily Phillips has opened up about her bisexuality and revealed she could envision a future with a woman. The online personality, famous for her adult digital content, has kept her romantic life largely private until now.
Despite typically being seen with male partners on screen, viewers will witness a fresh perspective as she ventures into dating women for the first time. Speaking to the Mirror., she explained: “I think now, in the year 2025, it’s not that much different to dating straight people.”
She continued: “I think around bisexuality, people are more open these days. I’ve never felt any judgment from that, so to me, it’s just like dating boys.”
Her romantic journey will unfold on ITV’s Blind Matchmakers, where contestants wear blindfolds whilst searching for love. Unlike programmes such as Love Island and Too Hot to Handle, participants must depend solely on voice, confidence, wit and personality when meeting potential partners.
Discussing her experience on the programme, she shared: “It was super fun, I’ve been on more dates with men, so it was good to see the other side.” Whilst some might find the notion of dating in darkness off-putting, Lily confessed her experience was brilliant.
She revealed: “I think women’s relationships are amazing, you just won’t ever find a connection like that with a man. Women, we understand each other more, I think.
“You’re best friends, but you’re also sexually attracted, and you have sex – that is my ideal relationship.” On the programme, Lily forged a bond with social media influencer Lani, with the duo sharing palpable chemistry.
But has their connection endured beyond the cameras? Lily revealed: “We have exchanged a few messages, but it’s been niceties, not anything more.
“Lani is great, she’s beautiful. She’s a powerful woman, I think she knows herself, and that’s really admirable and the fact that she’s gorgeous.
“But we haven’t chatted any more along the lines of dates or anything like that.” Nevertheless, Lily admits that whilst she’s not seeking to settle down imminently, she could envisage falling for a woman.
“I do consider a high chance it might be a woman,” she disclosed, continuing, “I’m very into women these days, but not any time soon. I really like to focus on my career, and I think dating takes up so much time and effort; I don’t have that now. I want to be able, when I start dating, to put all my efforts into that and give someone what they need and want.
“Right now, I want to be selfish, so I’m not dating.” She acknowledged that taking part in the programme was “so bizarre”, with her senses heightened throughout filming.
“You don’t realise how afraid you are to even step forward,” she reflected on dating whilst blindfolded. Yet participating was an obvious choice for Lily, who frequently faces judgement on social media for her behaviour, with users failing to recognise the genuine person behind the screen.
“I loved the idea of no pre-perception of how someone looks or any kind of judgement behind it,” Lily shared about the show. She further explained: “It’s kind of similar to Blind Dates – I think it’s nice to date someone on personality and voice-wise, not necessarily on how they look.”
Reflecting on her dating experiences in her early twenties, amidst a sea of apps like Raya, Tinder and Hinge, Lily observed: “If you don’t like the way they look, they’re out of the picture. In today’s digital age, dating apps typically feature around five photos and a series of prompts such as ‘Dream dinner guests’ and ‘Describe your ideal Sunday’, all designed to help you filter your options before even engaging in conversation with the person on the other side.”
I’m someone who personally finds someone more attractive, the more I get to know them and the connection you build, they become more physically attractive to me. ” Despite having a plethora of potential suitors, Lily confessed that her love life isn’t as glamorous as it may seem.”
It’s been tricky,” she admitted about her journey to find love. Lily added: “In all honesty, I don’t really date anyway, all that much.
“The dates I’ve been on, I’ve never been like ‘This is going to be serious’, I’ve just thought ‘this person knows what I do, so they will never date me, but let’s go out for some drinks and have a nice time.
“I think now, in the year 2025, it’s not that much different to dating straight people. So definitely tricky, but I haven’t quite crossed that bridge yet – but we’ll see when it comes to it.”
Nevertheless, Lily acknowledged that it “weeds out” individuals she wouldn’t consider dating if they harboured any judgement about her profession or failed to support her choices. She said: “I wouldn’t want to date them anyway, just because that’s not the lifestyle that I live.”
The programme also captures Lily at her most exposed, stepping away from her profitable adult entertainment venture. “I think it’s always tricky putting yourself out there,” she revealed.
Lily elaborated: “You’re putting yourself out there for people to pick apart and I think that’s hard. I have no problem with being vulnerable with my close friends and trusted people – but putting that online is different.
“I think it takes a lot of confidence and just a lot of bravery to be you and bear all online or on TV for people to kind of put their two pence in.” Yet for Lily, who has garnered millions of supporters across social platforms and OnlyFans, she recognises it’s a “learned skill” to filter out negativity.
“I’ll always see like eighty per cent nice comments and obviously twenty per cent horrible,” she observed. She confessed to attempting to sidestep any harsh remarks whilst steering clear of searching her name online or through Google.
“It can be hard for me,” she conceded before bashfully noting: “I wouldn’t take advice from these people, so why take criticism from them?” Lily revealed she’s never targeted others on social media with criticism, making it challenging to process any hostility directed her way.
“It usually comes from like jealousy or their own insecurities,” she remarked. But how does someone who has gained notoriety from her notorious adult videos manage her career?
Lily elaborated: “Just making sure I have a good circle around me, whether that’s friends and family who I can speak to in confidence, about anything that I’m struggling with. Or even a lot of girls in the industry, they’ll understand my issues, and that’s really nice.
“The community in the adult industry is just amazing, everyone’s just so loving and they understand it because obviously, they go through the same thing.”
