It's very subtle, but in Kung Jin's chapter it is hinted by Raiden. One of the devs at NetherRealm further confirm this on Twitter by commending how sharp the fans are catching on to that.
In Kung Jin's chapter he says that he is worried that the monks will not accept him into the order, to which Raiden replies "they care what is in your heart, not who your heart desires". I thought that it was blatantly obvious what was being implied.
