Catherine Missal has been lighting up screens with Bree on Hulu’s Tell Me Lies, a whirlwind of betrayals, chaotic romances, and toxic male energy. Her on-screen life has kept viewers clutching popcorn and scrolling fan theories, while whispers about her real-life love life simmered in parallel universes of curiosity.

While Bree tangled with toxic hearts, Catherine Missal navigated her own story in real life, where affection, stability, and even cat companionship quietly reigned supreme.

At 26, Catherine Missal from Tell Me Lies finally ended all speculation about her personal life, showing the same clarity and confidence she brings to her roles.

“Well, I am gay, so thank God," Missal said to Teen Vogue. Sitting beside her partner Jess Panneton during the interview, she radiated calm certainty.

Unlike the manipulative chaos her character Bree navigates, Missal’s real-life love is anchored in trust, humor, and understanding, proving that while Bree wrestled with drama, Missal mastered quiet confidence and unapologetic self-expression.

Missal and Panneton first crossed paths amid glitter, beats, and drag queens in West Hollywood, a meeting Missal called "kismet" in her Vogue interview. From that moment, their connection evolved into a steady, playful partnership filled with Valentine’s tributes, a shared home in Los Angeles, and two cats, Chicken and Bunny, who rule the household like tiny furry CEOs. Their love thrives quietly, far from the chaos of Bree’s on-screen drama.
