    Musician Eliot Sumner, Sting's child. "Asked if she had come out to her friends and family, she [Eliot Sumner] said that she hadn’t because 'no one had ever asked'.

[...] She said she did not believe in gender “labels” and preferred to dress down, shunning the glamour attached to some singers. Asked whether she identified with a particular gender, she replied 'no', saying she defined herself simply as a 'musician'. 'I don’t believe in any specifications,' she said."[19] (Note that this article uses "she" pronouns for Sumner, but Sumner's pronoun preference hasn't been stated.)[20]
