Actress and comedian Abbi Jacobson has come out as bisexual.

Keeping the spirit of #20gayteen alive, Jacobson this week told Vanity Fair that she dates both men and women - and fans welcomed the news with open arms.
“I kind of go both ways; I date men and women," she said in the interview. "They have to be funny, doing something they love."

“I don’t know - I’ve never really been interviewed about this before.”
Jacobson, best known for her role alongside Ilana Glazer on comedy series Broad City, concluded by hinting that she was single and open to dating.

“Yeah, who knows?" She said. "The world is my oyster.”
Jacobson is currently receiving strong reviews for her dramatic turn in the film 6 Balloons, which was released to Netflix earlier this week and also stars Dave Franco.

Welcome to the fam, Abbi!
