Sara Gilbert was spotted casually frolicking around the streets of Los Angeles as she shopped around on Saturday.
The 49-year-old The Conners actress – who protested alongside her former costars during the actors strike last May – showed off her unique style during the casual outing.
She opted for a red and gray plaid button up that was partially tucked into a light pair of straight legged ripped jeans.
Her short dark locks were tucked behind her ears as she accessorized with glasses and black boots.
The Yale University grad started out her acting career at age thirteen when she landed a children’s Kool-Aid commercial, which then lead to her earning a role on the hit sitcom Roseanne starring comedian Rosanne Barr.
Gilbert served as executive producer and co-host of CBS’ The Talk, which debuted on October 18, 2010 and was recently cancelled.
In her capacity as the show’s creator and producer, Gilbert took home a 2016 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show before cutting ties with the program in August 2019.
‘It was funny because I’m not really, I was always really shy. And I thought of this idea for a talk show,’ she told Kelly Clarkson of creating the hit show.
She went on about the show’s pitch, ‘I went into the network and I said “I’m worried you guys are gonna buy this because I’m not sure how I view it.”‘
Gilbert admitted that the process was scary to her as she followed through with planning the talk show.
‘You know when you’re sort of facing your fears and you know when you face them its gonna kind of pick up steam? That’s what happened,’ she revealed.
She thought, ‘Oh, I’m actually here.’
‘But it is liberating, right? When you actually face your fears. It is empowering,’ she added.
When asked about her shyness the multihyphenate admitted that she has ‘hidden it well for years’ as an actress.
The mother-of-three dated her Roseanne co-star Johnny Galecki before coming out as lesbian, but the two remain friendly today.
Gilbert started dating television producer Ali Adler in 2001 and share two children, Sawyer Jane, 16, born to Gilbert and Levi Hank, 19, a son born to Adler.
She refrained from disclosing her sexual orientation and her personal life to the world for a considerable amount of time.
The star came out as a lesbian in July 2010, just before the premiere of The Talk. And in 2011, she revealed that they split amicably while on the show.

The star started dating singer, music producer, and former front woman of 4 Non Blondes Linda Perry after the split.
In April 2013, Gilbert announced their engagement and married almost exactly a year later.
The actress gave birth to their son, Rhodes Emilio Gilbert Perry, just two years after.
However, the pair wasn’t meant to be as they filed for formal separation on December 27, 2019.
