The up-and-coming actress simply put the rumours to rest with a short but sweet tweet, she wrote: "So yea, she’s into girls."

She then followed it up with another clarification: "And only girls."

The exciting news comes after many fans had been championing for more LGBTQ+ representation within the reimagination of the show – the original series included few queer characters, let alone within the main cast.

If the 20-year-old star's proclamation wasn't enough to convince you, then don't worry because Gossip Girl's social media platforms added fuel to the fire...

The GG Instagram posted a steamy teaser video to their account that featured a clip of Monet locking lips with another female character.

Fans were quick to celebrate the inclusion of a lesbian character in the comments, with one user writing: "MONET A LESBIAN OMG YES."
