As usual, Cooper was ready to question his guest, as he was discussing several topics with Rapinoe during their 30-minute interview. But there was a subject that left him completely stunned.

Cooper asked Rapinoe, who is a lesbian, how it was to grow up. "I understand that you have publicly publicized to friends and family in college," Cooper said, adding, "Was it a difficult process for you to be a teenager?"

Rapinoe replied, "It was not difficult for me at that time, I only realized it once in college." Cooper was shocked by his response. A shocked Cooper asked, "I knew that when I was 6 years old, how did I know about adolescence?"

Rapinoe seemed to take a liking to his reaction. She admitted that her late awakening was "shocking" even for her.

"It's so embarrassing because I'm just very gay. I do not know how it happened, but as soon as he clicked, I thought, "She has arrived," she said.

All the exchange left Cooper angry. He stumbled trying to move on to another topic, saying, "It's the funniest thing I've heard … where do I go after that? That took me by surprise. "

Rapinoe has been involved with professional basketball player Sue Bird since they met at the 2016 Olympics. And even though she was late, Rapinoe was a vocal member of the LGBTQ community for many years.
