Taylor Schilling, star of Netflix's Orange is The New Black has confirmed her relationship with musical and visual artist Emily Ritz in a romantic post on her Instagram stories celebrating Pride weekend.

The post, which was originally shared on Instagram stories by Ritz, showed the pair arm-in-arm on a foggy hillside along with the caption, "I couldn't be more proud to be by your side @taylorschilling. Happy Pride! 💗🌈💗".

Roughly an hour later, Schilling reposted the image to her story along with six red hearts, confirming the relationship while also commemorating this year's Pride weekend.

According to Just Jared the pair reportedly met through mutual friends a little while ago with their relationship becoming more romantic last year.

The actor, who played Piper Chapman in Netflix's most watched original series, has always been very private about her dating life, telling ES Magazine in 2017, "There’s no part of me that can be put under a label. I really don't fit into a box, that's too reductive.

"I've had wonderful relationships. I've had a lot of love, and I don't have any qualms about where it comes from." She said.
