Clea DuVall, an openly gay actress, keeps her relationship with her wife, Mia Weier, private. Nevertheless, the public has been aware of a few glimpses into the couple's early years of dating.
Actress Clea DuVall rose to fame in the 1990s and remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. Her path to stardom has been a captivating journey of self-discovery.
The Los Angeles native gained attention when she publicly came out and revealed that she is in a relationship with her girlfriend-turned-wife, Mia Weier.

Clea DuVall Came Out as Gay When She Was a Teen
DuVall gained fame for her role in the 1999 film "But I'm a Cheerleader," where she co-starred alongside her longtime friend, actress Natasha Lyonne. At that time, discussions about sexuality were not as prevalent.
Being reserved and shy, DuVall, then 21, approached the subject with caution. Despite the prevailing taboos surrounding the topic, she recalled coming out at 16 during a heated Christmas argument with her mom.
As she ventured more into acting at 18, DuVall struggled with insecurities. While she had already opened up about her true self to her close friends and family, revealing her true identity to the public frightened her.
In 2016, DuVall came out publicly and casually spoke about her girlfriend during a panel discussion at the Sundance Film Festival. This happened at a time she branched out to writing and filmmaking.

While reminiscing about the classic film with her best friend Lyonne, DuVall revealed she was "very closeted" then. In 2020, she experienced a sense of pride for having overcome those challenges. She said:
"To end up in this place where I am now, a 43-year-old happily married woman who is so comfortable with myself … That journey was one that was not always easy."

Although a few names in the industry had been linked with DuVall, it was later revealed that Mia Weier is the woman with whom DuVall has been in a relationship for quite some time.
In June 2011, the Pride website posted a picture of her and Elliot Page, and although the photo looked unclear, DuVall was seen strolling with Page in Montreal.
