In a November 2020 interview with Costuming Drama, the talented YouTuber unveiled that living alone was a luxury that she would pay for.

Could it be she was living with someone during that time of the interview that she longed to be alone so much?
Bernadette also stated that she tried having an imaginary friend and was bad at it, as she always forgot that she was there.
So only time will tell if Bernadette ever decides to settle down with anyone, Till then, there will always be a mystery surrounding her sexuality and partner.
Unfortunately, none of her social media handles point to her dating life. It is either filled with posts of her friends or dresses.
