'Orange Is The New Black' Star Samira Wiley (aka Poussey) Dating Writer, Lauren Morelli After She Divorces Her Husband

So is Samira Wiley the reason why Lauren Morelli divorced her husband, Steve Balisone? According to the reports, and Hollywood Life, that seems to be the case following Morelli's essay that revealed she realized she was gay after working for the Orange Is The New Black show.

Morelli has just filed for divorce and it seems that she has quickly moved on with Wiley. No one knows the full details to why Morelli wants a divorce from Steve, but the lesbian news probably has a lot to do with it. 

The relationship between the two ladies was probably not a secret on-set, or to fans because they do post a lot of selfies together, as the divorce may have sparked the media spotlight.

Orange Is The New Black has been known for changing lives both on and off the show. Not long ago Laverne Cox, 30 was the first openly trans woman to earn an Emmy nomination. It seems that writers, and stars are living out their own lives, and learning who they are as they go on the show.

Morelli's essay for Mic, reveals that she began to question her sexuality shortly after getting married. In the writer's piece she wrote:

"I realized I was gay in fall 2012, one of my first days on the set. It wasn't so much one thing, but the sum of many small details: how uncomfortable I felt around groups of lesbians or how I considered myself (shrug) a 'not very sexual person.' When considered alone, these seemed like little quirks that made me me. Wanting to read a book instead of have sex is a perfectly reasonable preference to have, right?"

"But on set, these small moments came into sharp relief, and I found myself answering to an endless stream of cast members who peppered me with questions like a gaggle of kindergarteners curious about their new teacher. 'Are you dating anyone?' 'You're married?' 'To a man?' 'But you used to kiss girls?' 'Do you miss it?"

"I was finally forced to consider a question that had never, ever occurred to me before: Holy sh**, am I gay?"

According to TMZ, Lauren and Steve's divorce will be more than likely be amicable.
