Skye Wheatley’s Surprising Sexuality Confession: ‘I Could Have Gone That Way’

Skye Wheatley made a surprising admission about her sexuality on Thursday during the latest episode of her Nova FM podcast Skye & Callum.

The influencer, 31, shares sons Forest, five, and Bear, three, with her current long-time partner of eight years Lachlan Waugh. 

But the former Big Brother star has now confessed she may be ‘pansexual’ and would have explored that side of herself more if she never started dating Lachlan. 

Co-host Callum Hole kicked off the conversation by saying: ‘So obviously, you’ve been with Lachie for a while.’

‘Yes, eight years, going strong,’ she told the former Love Island star, revealing they had their first child together just four months after they started dating.

‘Eight years, when you were 25. But I did hear something that if you had more time, then you might have explored your sexuality a little bit more?’ he asked.

Skye agreed, revealing she learned about pansexuality while watching the Stan reality TV show Love Triangle. 

‘I didn’t know what pansexuality was until watching this show,’ she said.

‘But basically you are attracted to the person’s personality, not what sex they are… you could be attracted to anyone, but you’re attracted to their personality.’

Callum, 27, clarified: ‘So pansexual is basically, you’re trying to say, you’re not attracted to their sex, you’re just attracted to their personality?’

‘Yes, their personality and, like, who they are as a person and stuff,’ Skye said, before revealing that is how she views her own attraction to people.

‘And I’m like, oh yeah, totally. I think that I could go down that path because I definitely see people’s personalities before their looks or their sex. 

‘So I feel like I could maybe explore that, or I could have, not now obviously, but I could have maybe gone down that path.’

‘I find it really interesting, because I’m like, yeah, totally… I definitely connect with people’s personalities,’ she added.

The confession comes after Skye and Lachlan, 34, caused confusion in November 2024 when they shared loved-up photos just days after announcing their split. 

The pair looked very cosy in pictures shared to Instagram, which appeared to be taken during a night out.

She wrote cryptically in her caption: ‘Can’t say we didn’t live life.’

Skye stunned in the photos as she showed off the results of her recent eye lift surgery while Lachlan kissed her on the cheek.

Further photos showed the influencer couple embracing as if nothing was amiss in their romance.

The stunner drank a cocktail and posed up a storm, clearly relaxed and back in love with Lachlan despite their recent domestic issues.

Just days earlier, Skye confirmed she had separated from her partner.

But the former Big Brother star has now confessed to co-host Callum Hole, 27, she may be ‘pansexual’ 

The Gold Coast-based mum-of-two explained the reason Lachlan had not appeared in her recent Q&A videos was because they decided to take time apart.

‘Honestly not much to report. We just have a lil re-set break from time to time, it’s good,’ she told her fans.

The former reality star has previously spoken at length about the couple’s struggles and admitted they have recently been going to counselling.

She said 2024 was all about achieving goals, a journey which included addressing the challenges in her relationship with Lachlan.

‘Lachy and I went to a counselling session yesterday,’ Skye said.

The session, initially intended as occupational therapy for their son Forest, turned into a much-needed intervention for the couple.

Skye’s realised their son’s behaviour could be influenced by their relationship dynamics and it prompted her to take action.
