In an interview with TV talk show host Chelsea Lately, she said: "I was living the gay lifestyle prior to [coming out to them).

She said: "This was now 12 years later from when I was 18 … their reaction might have been different if I was 18. They had heard of gay people at this point! They were great. They really embraced me."
Jane, 51, is very happy with Lara and has previously said she and their dog are the loves of her life.
She said: "Lara is the love of my life. And my dog Olivia. And my dog Olivia is also the love of Lara's life.
With Lara, I knew right away that she was very important, I got that rush on a soul level, and so did she, and we both looked at each other and almost had like a recognition."
