Big Brother's Zach Rance Comes Out as Bisexual, Claims He 'Hooked Up' with Frankie Grande

"Big Brother" alum Zach Rance came out as bisexual and claimed he hooked up with his cast mate, Frankie Grande, after their season ended.

During a virtual panel for "The Mental Health Collection and With Love, Alexa" on Tuesday, the Season 16 star, 30, revealed he went through a journey of self-discovery after becoming bosom buddies with Frankie while they competed together on the CBS show in 2014.

"I've been straight my entire life, I've only liked women," Zach began. "But on 'Big Brother,' Frankie and I got super, super close. I fell in love with who he was as a person. Super funny, super smart. Good looking guy. As time went on, we got so close that I wasn't really sure if I had feelings for him or not. You know, I've always been straight so it was never a thing to like guys."

"But after the show happened, him and I did have a relationship that was more than just friends," he continued. "And he was the first guy that I ever hooked up with. After that night, I was very unsure about the direction of my sexuality because I like women. And after we hooked up, I was very uncertain about what's my next move."

Zach went on to say he was even more confused after he looked at "gay pornography" and didn't feel the same interest in "making out" with the actors as he did with Frankie.

"I was like, ‘Wait a second. Is it just because Frankie is someone who I'm really close with?'"

To add to the uncertainty, Zach admitted he hooked up with a male photographer during an underwear shoot soon afterwards.

"But the more I thought about being with a guy -- you know, making out is one thing, but doing more than making out with a guy is something I just don't want to do," he added. "I've never tried it. But I just want to come out and say that I enjoyed hooking up with Frankie and the other guy I hooked up with, clearly I enjoyed it, because things went down."

"We try not to label anything, you know, gender is super fluid," he continued. "So it's hard for me to say I'm straight. I'm not gay either. I just wanted to come out and say that and be transparent and come out and say I am bisexual, even though I do lean more toward heterosexuality."

"I want to inspire other people to -- maybe not experiment, I don't know if that's the right word -- but to just be more open-minded, because you can fall in love with someone's mind, you can fall in love with someone's heart. You don't have to just be attracted to the way they look."
