“Transparent” creator Jill Soloway and breakout comic Hannah Gadsby are an item, a source exclusively tells Page Six.
We hear that the pair have been seeing each other since this summer, and things have been getting serious.
“Jill recently went to Australia to meet Hannah’s family,” said the source.
The pair have been traveling and doing talks together as part of the promotion for Soloway’s new memoir, “She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy.” But we are told, “they don’t want people to know they are a couple,” adding, “they are very private.”
During a TimesTalk on Tuesday at the New School, Soloway explained sending an email to Gadsby while looking for “queer, intersectional, interesting folks to speak to about book writing” for her Amazon imprint, Topple.
At the talk, Soloway recalled later seeing Gadsby — whose special “Nanette” was a big hit on Netflix — perform “and was so blown away.”
Soloway said, “We had breakfast the next morning … and became friends after that. We realized yes, we both have a lot of things in common that we like to talk about that generally annoy other people.”
Gadsby chimed in, “I think it overwhelms people. It was nice to meet someone who in the course of small talk, you are talking about consent.”
Soloway added, “Rage, patriarchy, consent before the coffee comes.”
Soloway was married to Bruce Gilbert. They separated in 2015 and have one son.
Soloway went on to date poet Eileen Myles.
The Emmy and Golden Globe winner also has a son with John Strozier.
Soloway’s new book covers the TV scribe’s father coming out as transgender and charts “Jill’s evolution from straight, married mother of two to identifying as queer and nonbinary. This intense and revelatory metamorphosis challenges the status quo and reflects the shifting power dynamics that continue to shape our collective worldview.”
A rep for both did not comment.
