In 2016, Hildebrand explained her journey of self-discovery that led her to identify as bisexual. She had a huge crush on singer Jesse McCartney and on actress Hilary Duff. She added:
"I knew pretty early on that I liked both boys and girls. Growing up in a fairly religious household, I knew that not everyone would be as comfortable with who I was or as accepting of who I was, as I was."
Although she had identified herself first as bisexual and then later as gay, Hildebrand has since expressed that she no longer wishes to label herself in any specific way.
