Lori Petty Feel Lonely With No Partner

American actress-director Lori Petty is famous for her roles in the movie, A League Of Their Own (1992) and Tankgirl (1994). 

Her reputation is not only confined to her eye-catching appearance but also to her choice of characters that she has portrayed on the screen.

Other than her career, there is an absence of active dating and partners in her personal life. 

Has she been single her whole life or dated someone?

Through the post, she wished the deceased actor a happy birthday and mentioned him as her valentine. 

However, Lori is not married. She has always chosen her professional life over a partner and settling down.

In an interview with The Daily Beast (2014), Lori mentioned that she always chose her acting career over her personal life achievements. She told in the interview,

"I was thirty-something, and I hadn’t married my agent, married any guy co-stars, or gotten fake ti****s or Botox. I never wanted to be a bombshell; I wanted to be an actor. I would much prefer to be a woman than a man."

However, it seems like she has changed her perceptions after the pandemic. She mentioned in her Instagram post, she said she is missing everything: the laugh, makeup, gym, hugging strangers. Her caption read:

I miss everything. I miss loving you. I miss hugging strangers on the street and your selfies. I miss every “I love you.” I miss sleep. I miss work. I miss laughing and makeup and the gym. I miss you.

The thing to notice here is she said, ‘I miss loving you,’ which hinted that she might be seeing someone, probably her partner. But it is yet to be clarified who the lucky person is.

The absence of an actively dating relationship and partner in her personal life has made people suspect her of being a lesbian.
