According to Star magazine, the mother of Carrie Prejean, who is Francine Coppola, was involved in a lesbian relationship right up until Carrie placed second in the Miss USA pageant.

Francine’s alleged openly gay lover was sales rep Valerie Vetrano, who said:

"Yes, Francine and I dated."

A friend explains the relationship was doomed from the start:

"Francine explained how she was a Christian and that her loved ones would never accept her if she were gay," the friend says. When Valerie asked her what would happen if she told her daughter Carrie about the two of them, Francine responded, “Carrie would never believe it!”

We’re not sure if we believe it either, even though during their divorce, both Francine and her ex husband accused each other of having gay relationships during their marriage.

We want to hear from Francine.
