Walker has claimed she was in a romantic relationship with singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman in the mid-1990s: "It was delicious and lovely and wonderful and I totally enjoyed it and I was completely in love with her but it was not anybody's business but ours."[78] Chapman has not publicly commented on the existence of a relationship and maintains a strict separation between her private and public life.[79][80]
Her Wiki article implies that she was outed without her consent, but doesn't explicitly say that. (I looked it up a while ago when that cover of Fast Car was trending, because that whole situation was interesting).
