Personal life[edit]
Loken stated in an interview with Curve magazine, "I have dated and have had sex with men and women and have to say that the relationships I have had with certain women have been much more fulfilling, sexually and emotionally, than of those with certain men.... I connect with an aura, with energy. And if the person with whom I connect happens to be a female, that’s just the way it is. That’s what makes my wheels turn."[1] Loken first generated public speculation about her sexuality when she kissed P!nk at the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo.[2]The Advocate and other LGBT news sources in November 2006 reported Loken might be in a romantic relationship with actress Michelle Rodriguez,[3][4] her co-star in Bloodrayne.
