To the great disappointment of many people, Gladstone is notoriously private about her dating life. She has never mentioned anything about currently being single or in a relationship.

However, it is noteworthy that Gladstone uses a she/they pronoun. The reason for this isn’t necessarily linked to her sexuality. She explained herself in an interview (via People):

“In most Native languages, most Indigenous languages, Blackfeet included, there are no gendered pronouns. There is no he/she, there’s only they… my pronoun use is partly a way of decolonizing gender for myself.”

The 37-year-old actress seems to be fierce about keeping her romantic life private. Because it is evident that she is comfortable sharing her opinions on controversial matters.

In an interview with People, Gladstone recalled being on a date with her first boyfriend.

“He got me out of a little, just one of those little machines where you drop a couple quarters in and then you get a little prize back. He had gotten these little star glasses, like these little tiny kids’ glasses with stars on them, and said, ‘You have to keep these and you have to wear them to the Academy Awards when you go one year.’”

This anecdote is immensely heartwarming. And Gladstone still has those glasses, which she plans on keeping in her purse when she attends the Oscar Ceremony.
