Is this life imitating art or art imitating life?

After hitting the Emmy red carpet together, Orange is the New Black writer Lauren Morelli and one of the show's stars, Samira Wiley, who plays Poussey, Taystee's lesbian best friend -- are definitely out and proud about their relationship. And while many on social media are thrilled about the duo -- we imagine one person might not be so jazzed about their blossoming love -- Morelli's soon-to-be ex husband of two years, Steve Basilone.

Morelli, who came out in an essay in Identities.Mic in May, said that writing about the show's main lesbian couple, Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling) and her ex-girlfriend Alex Vause (Laura Prepon), helped her to come to terms with her own sexuality -- unfortunately it happened just months after marrying her then-husband.

"I was nervous about the first love scene I'd written for Alex and Piper," Morelli wrote. "I'd loved writing it, loved watching a tenderness emerge in their relationship where passion always seemed to be the ruling principle, but by that time, I was so deep in my own self-doubt that I constantly felt like a fraud. I was sure it was bleeding into my writing. How could it not? I was married to a man, but I wasn't straight."

But at least the writer knew she had to do something about it. Morelli and Basilone have both filed for divorce. And now she's taken her new life and relationship in stride. The couple have been dating for a few months but went public with their relationship when they took to the Emmy red carpet hand in hand.
