Recently Elizabeth openly talked about his decision: “the moment I learned about the illness of my best friend Raya, and my heart softened. I was only thinking of her, and my life was upside down. She is my friend, companion, source of light, a man I trust completely. My love for rice with a capital letter. Death or its prospect — a great way to be cleansed from all fake in your life. And in the real world I was faced with the truth: I don’t just like Raya, I’m in love with her. And I have no more time to deny it. The thought of having to sit with her in the hospital, to hold her hand and not let her (and myself) to know about my true feelings, unbearable. When you know the truth, you can’t pretend not to know her. We share a 15-year friendship, Raya — the strongest and most honest person I know. For those who wonder whether it affected my divorce with my husband — Yes. It’s official: I Raya together. I love her and she loves me. I could continue to pretend that we’re just friends, but it’s a lie. A lie is humiliating. Truth and transparency facilitates our life together.”
