Roseanne star Sara Gilbert has spoken out about her sexuality for the first time, confirming that she is a lesbian.

Gilbert, who has a son and daughter with her female partner Allison Adler, made the disclosure during a media event for her new daytime chat show The Talk.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Gilbert, 35, was asked if she was comfortable being "out" on the show.

"This is a whole new world for me. I'm not an expert on this, or I don't analyse these things. I'm just sort of living my life," Gilbert replied.

"I don't think (being out) will be a problem... I don't ever really think of things as being out or in... I just think I am who I am, and when topics come up that are appropriate, I'll talk about them and share when it seems right."

Gilbert, who played Darlene in the hit TV series Rosanne, will host the talk show about parenting with Sharon Osbourne and other celebrity mothers.
