Phillip Schofield, beloved television host and presenter, made headlines earlier this year when he bravely came out as gay. The announcement was met with an outpouring of support from fans and colleagues alike, but according to his daughter, Ruby, the journey to this moment was not easy for their family.

In a recent interview with MSN, Ruby Schofield opened up about her father’s decision to come out publicly. She shared that while she and her family were incredibly proud of Phillip for his courage, the news did come as a shock initially.

“It was a lot to take in at first,” Ruby admitted. “We had no idea that he was going to come out publicly, so it was a lot to process. But ultimately, we just want him to be happy and true to himself.”

Ruby went on to explain that despite the initial shock, her family has been nothing but supportive of her father. She emphasized that their love for him has not wavered and that they are all working together to navigate this new chapter in their lives.

“We are a close-knit family, and we will always support each other no matter what,” Ruby said. “My dad is still the same person he has always been, and we love him unconditionally.”

Phillip Schofield’s coming out was a moment of immense bravery and vulnerability, and it is clear that his family stands by him through it all. As they continue to navigate this new chapter together, one thing is certain – their bond is stronger than ever.
