Alanis Morisette has come out as pansexual. She shared the news during an appearance on the Nov. 3 episode of the “Handsome” podcast, co-hosted by Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin.
Toward the end of the episode, Feimster told the 52-year-old singer, “I’m sorry to the men who hurt you, but I’m not sorry to the songs that came from it.” Then, she added, “Did that make you want to be a lesbian at any point?”
Morisette replied: “I’m pansexual, so yes.”

Notaro interjected: “Wait, you’re not really pansexual, are you?”
“I am,” the singer said.
Morissette then joked about her timing, saying, “I like to leave that for the epilogue.”
The term pansexual generally refers to people who are attracted to people of all genders.

Morisette, known for her breakup songs, previously opened up about her love life in 2016 while speaking to Vogue. “Dating…I don’t want to give you the number,” she said. “I dated a lot of people before my husband. For me, it’s a numbers game.”
She was previously linked to Dave Coulier, Dash Mihok and Ryan Reynolds. She and Reynolds were engaged from 2004 to 2007. “I think this is the last straw,” Morissette told the Los Angeles Times of her separation from Reynolds. “I was a real love addict, so it was like, ‘I can’t keep doing this, my body can’t take it.’ For someone who is addicted to love, (breakups are) debilitating.
She then dated Tom Ballanco from 2007 to 2009, before starting dating Mario “Souleye” Treadway in 2009. The couple married the following year and have since welcomed three children: Ever Imre Treadway, born in 2010, Onyx Solace Treadway, born in 2016, and Winter Mercy Treadway, born in 2019.

“We help each other,” Morissette said of her husband. People in 2020. “Relationships go from infatuation to power struggle, and then most people break up. I think it gets juicy as we enter the third phase of helping each other heal and grow.”
Her secret, she says, is to “flirt.” “Flirting is good…dates, gifts and compliments,” she said. “Every time he says something about me with emotion, like ‘Wow, you’re really caring’ or ‘really patient,’ it’s like a sexy moment in its own right for me.”
