In [[2018]], ''[[Equestria Girls: Rollercoaster of Friendship]]'' was released, and was originally set to feature a romantic relationship between {{EQG|Rarity}} and {{EQG|Applejack}}, but it was eventually dropped. This was referenced in the next two ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' specials, ''[[Equestria Girls: Spring Breakdown]]'' and ''[[Equestria Girls: Sunset Shimmer's Backstage Pass]]'' in which Rarity fell for a young man named [[Ragamuffin]] and Applejack fell for a musician named [[Dirk Thistleweed]], both of whom resembled the other strongly.
On {{D|Sep|9|2019}}, [[Sunset Shimmer]] was confirmed to be bisexual by [[Katrina Hadley]], who thought it was "pretty obvious".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://twitter.com/isitlunchyet_t/status/1176912630914506753 |title=FYI Sunset is bi. So there, haters |last=Hadley |first=Katrina |date=9/25/2019 |website=Twitter |publisher= |accessdate=9/25/2019 |quote=}}</ref> In a Q&A, [[Big Jim]] said it was up to fans to determine whether or not {{FIM|Applejack}} & {{FIM|Rainbow Dash}} were a couple, which would most likely mean they were both LGBT in the first place.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/10/big-jims-q-on-friendship-is-magic.html |title= Big Jim's Q&A On the Friendship is Magic Finale (Also Confirming AJ's Parents Died) |last= |first= |date=10/23/2019 |website=Equestria Daily |publisher= |accessdate=10/23/2019 |quote=}}</ref>
Although not confirmed, [[Wiz Kid]] and [[Curly Winds]] were shown to display behavior towards each other that seemed romantic in nature, such as blushing in each others presence,<ref>''[[Equestria Girls: Holidays Unwrapped]]''</ref> holding hands,<ref>''[[Equestria Girls: Rollercoaster of Friendship]]''</ref> cuddling{{confirm}} and gazing into each others eyes romantically.{{confirm}} Interestingly, the two appear to be good friends with {{EQG|Lyra Heartstrings}} and {{EQG|Bon Bon}}, whose pony counterparts were confirmed to be married in "[[The Last Problem]]".
