The Twitter posts came after Lillis starred in the Netflix series "I am Not Okay with This" alongside Wyatt Oleff and Sofia Bryant. The show was a follow-up to "The End of the [expletive] World."

Although she is a public figure, Lillis enjoys her private life. She maintains an Instagram account for fans to follow but often shares about work without a window into her personal life.

In 2023, Lillis posted photos from the Paris and Mexico premiere of "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves."

Besides promotional posts, Lillie also shares self-portraits of herself during events or at random times. Unfortunately, none of them indicate a relationship. As far as the public knows, Lillis does not have a boyfriend.

Sophia Lillis Starred In a Netflix Drama That Got Canceled – She Insisted that it Needs a Second Season

Besides social media, Lillis shares her work and life through interviews. In 2020, she had an interview claiming "I Am Not Okay With This" needed a second season.

On the show, Lillis starred as introvert Sydney Novak, a high school student with pent-up emotions. Unfortunately, Netflix canceled the series amidst lockdown as the schedule of filming could no longer be followed.

Lillis believes "I Am Not Okay With This" ended horribly because of the cliffhanger. As many viewers were, the actress was also excited for another season. She said:

"Hopefully, it gets picked up soon, but I honestly don't know how these things work. [...] It needs a second season."

One of Sophia Lillis' Famous Roles Saw Her Confront Homophobia

Besides "I Am Not Okay With This," Lillis also starred in the Amazon original "Uncle Frank," a coming-of-age- film that received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Television Movie.

"Uncle Frank’s" storyline revolves around Lillis' character, Beth, and her gay uncle Frank, who she forms an incredible bond with while keeping his sexuality a secret from their family. Beth later becomes the driving force that pushes his uncle to live his truth without holding back.

As the story was set in the '70s, many still didn't accept members of the LGBTQ+ community, which made Sophia Lillis' gay on-screen uncle's coming out all the more difficult.

In recent years, society has become more understanding and accepting of the different ways people identify themselves. Several entertainers have also come out, including music icon Sam Smith, who identifies themselves as non-binary,

Smith claimed they are open to dating any gender. Smith's dating history includes their first known boyfriend Jonathan Zeizel, Charlie King, and Andy Newton Lee.
