Tatum O'Neal Says 'I'm Dating Women Now'

Charley Gallay/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Actress Tatum O’Neal was once married to tennis star John McEnroe, but now she’s looking for love in different places.

“I like women,” O’Neal tells People magazine. “I definitely have been dating mostly women recently.” 

“I think women are the most amazing creatures on earth,” she continues. “They’re gentle, and also more intelligent than the men that I’ve met recently. I don’t have a steady right now, but I look forward to it.” 

In describing her sexuality, O’Neal said: “I’m not one or the other.” 

O’Neal and McEnroe split in 1992 after six years of marriage and three children: Kevin, 29, Sean, 28 and Emily, 24. 

O’Neal, who has long struggled with substance addiction, says she’s still clean. “I’m the most content I’ve ever been,” she says. “I’m the proudest mother in the history of the world.”
