Preview Magazine Philippines recently unveiled its latest issue, a vibrant celebration of Pride Month featuring prominent queer icons from the industry. Alongside Klea, the cover showcases other celebrities and content creators such as Jonathan 'Sweet' Lapus, ESNYR, Sassa Gurl, Mimiyuuuh, and more.

In her cover story, Klea recounted her journey of self-discovery, sharing her gay awakening experience. She reflected on how certain female characters she watched in Kapuso series played a significant role in her understanding of her sexuality. The Kapuso actress candidly admitted to questioning herself, wondering if she wanted to emulate the allure of the sexy superhero Darna or if she harbored a crush on the iconic character.

Klea Pineda bravely came out as gay in March 2023 during her special and memorable 24th birthday celebration. The Kapuso star shared the news in a previous interview, expressing, "I'm proud na sabihin sa lahat ng mga Kapuso natin na I'm gay. I have a rainbow heart."

During the interview, Klea became emotional as she recounted her initial hesitation to come out, fearing the potential impact on her life and career.

In that same month, Klea proudly introduced her girlfriend, Katrice Kierulf. Since then, the couple openly shared their sweet dates and adventures on their social media platforms, spreading joy and love to their followers.
