Report: says that another Hollywood Actress Maria Bello reveals about lesbian relationship.  U.S. actress Maria Bello explained in a first-person article in The New York Times how she told her 12-year-old son about her lesbian partner. The 46-year-old Bello,


whose most recent film is "Prisoners," said she told the boy, Jackson, there was a lot of "adult stuff" she hadn't told him and when he asked her what she eventually confided she was "involved with a woman who was my best friend and, as it happens, a person who is like a godmother to my son." The woman was identified only as "Clare." "He looked at me for what seemed like an eternity and then broke into a huge, warm smile. 'Mom, love is love, whatever you are,' he said with wisdom beyond his years," she wrote.

Bello said she also told her parents with trepidation, keeping mind she came from a "traditional" Italian-Polish Philadelphia family.  "My father's response came between puffs of his cigar while we sat on the roof of a casino in Atlantic City. 'She's a good girl, good for you,' he said," she wrote. "My mother and family echoed his sentiments. Maybe they weren't so traditional after all." She started thinking about her past relationships and re-read journals she had kept, noting she had fallen in love with two men while working on films with them, "only to find that when the filming ended, so did the relationship."

And she "read about the man who asked me to marry him four years ago over the phone, before we had even kissed. Three months later we were in his kitchen throwing steaks at each other's heads in anger." When was she happiest? She recalled a woman she had met "sitting in a bar wearing a fedora and speaking in her Zimbabwean accent. We had an immediate connection but didn't think of it as romantic or sexual. She was one of the most beautiful, charming, brilliant and funny people I had ever met, but it didn't occur to me, until that soul-searching moment in my garden, that we could perhaps choose to love each other romantically.She identifies her as "Clare." The Hollywood Reporter says she's Clare Munn, chairman of the new media company The Communication Group. Writes Bello, "What had I been waiting for all of these years? She is the person I like being with the most, the one with whom I am most myself."

So now, Bello, whose most recent film is Prisoners, says she has two partners in her life: Clare and Dan McDermott, a TV executive with whom she had Jackson in 2001. She says "Jack, Clare, Dan and I" have dinner together "almost every night. ... Mostly the four of us laugh a lot together." Jackson, who is a fan of ABC's Modern Family, says they have their own version. And, writes Bello, "I love our modern family."
