Canadian-American singer Alanis Morissette, who recently turned 52, has publicly revealed that she is pansexual. The unexpected announcement came during her appearance on the Handsome podcast.
During the conversation, the hosts reflected on Morissette’s emotionally charged songs. Mae Martin, addressing the singer, remarked: “I feel bad for the men who hurt you, but I don’t regret for a second the songs that came out of it.”
She then asked: “Did you ever feel like becoming a lesbian because of it?”
Morissette replied without hesitation: “I’m pansexual, so yes.”
Surprised by the revelation, Tig Notaro asked: “Wait, you’re actually pansexual?”
“Yes,” the singer confirmed. Martin then added: “Me too!”
Pansexuality refers to sexual, romantic or emotional attraction to people regardless of their gender identity or biological sex. Unlike bisexuality, the term is not limited to attraction to men and women and can include attraction to transgender, non-binary and other people whose gender identity falls outside the traditional gender binary.
Morissette tends to keep her private life out of the spotlight, but over the years she has had several high-profile relationships. She has also spoken candidly about her past struggles with love and sex addiction.
One of her best-known relationships was with actor Dave Coulier, star of the sitcom Full House. The painful experience is widely believed to have inspired her album Jagged Little Pill, which brought her worldwide fame and became one of the most successful releases of her career.
Morissette has also dated actor Dash Mihok and lawyer Tom Ballanco. She is currently married to rapper Mario “Souleye” Treadway.
