Actor Raegan Revord, known for their role in Young Sheldon, publicly identifies as nonbinary.
Raegan Revord, the talented actor known for their role as Missy in Young Sheldon, has made a significant step in their personal and professional life. The 17-year-old has come out as nonbinary and is set to release their debut novel, Rules for Fake Girlfriends, on September 2.
Growing up, Raegan looked up to celebrities who came out as nonbinary or queer. However, they admit that there was not a lot of queer representation even 10 years ago. This lack of representation inspired Raegan to be the change they wanted to see, using their novel as an opportunity to represent the community they identify with.
Rules for Fake Girlfriends is a young-adult rom-com that follows a college student navigating their first year abroad, experiencing first love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. The book tells a queer love story, which Raegan considers "super important."
Raegan's coming-out journey is a part of promoting their debut novel. They expressed feeling a connection with anyone who comes out as nonbinary or queer, stating it's cool to see themselves represented. Raegan saw themselves in others who came out publicly and hopes to be that representation for others who may not have had it growing up.
In addition to their acting career, Raegan has had minor roles in shows like Grace and Frankie, With Bob & David, and Teachers. They presented and signed copies of their novel at several events in September 2025, including a book signing on September 19 at Barnes & Noble The Grove in Los Angeles, a book event on September 6 with author Veronica Bane, and meet-and-greet and signing events around that time in Los Angeles and Manhattan Beach.
While Raegan's book release marks a significant milestone in their career, it's also a personal achievement. They did not have many queer models to look up to while growing up, and they hope that their novel will serve as a source of inspiration for others. Raegan's courage to come out publicly and share their story is a testament to their commitment to promoting representation and diversity in the entertainment industry.
