Coming out to kids

I am a single openly gay mother to 3yo DD, DP left husband and came out 2 years ago, but not to her DC, 6 and 10. We’ve Been together about 9 months and she’s met my DD as we see each other when it’s her ex’s turn. He knows about us but not details.
Things are starting to get serious between us and we are discussing how she could come out to her kids, I want it all to be on her terms and am happy to wait.
I’d just like to know if anyone has any advice or experience as it’s a rare situation.
Have posted in step parenting too although feels premature!

I think it was this one, but basically they were just factual and laid back about it. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/if-these-ovaries-could-talk/id1331160807?i=1000474217472

Just tell them you‘ve met someone you care about and her name is ...then answer questions honestly without going into too much detail.
