Alanis Morissette identifies as pansexual during podcast appearance

Singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette has publicly identified as pansexual. The 52-year-old musician made the revelation during the November 3 episode of the Handsome podcast, hosted by Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster, and Mae Martin.

The announcement occurred toward the end of the interview after Feimster asked if past heartbreaks involving men had ever made the singer consider being a lesbian. Morissette responded, “I’m pansexual, so, yeah,” and later confirmed the identity when questioned by Notaro. Morissette joked about the timing of the disclosure, stating, “I like to leave it for the epilogue. I like to confuse people on the way out.”

Morissette, known for her 1995 album Jagged Little Pill, has been married to rapper Mario “Souleye” Treadway since 2010 and they share three children. While this is her first time using the pansexual label, she has previously discussed sexual experimentation and her connection to the LGBTQ+ community in past interviews, including a 2008 conversation with The Advocate.
