Tuesday, November 10, 2026 - Grammy-winning singer Alanis Morissette has surprised fans after publicly revealing that she identifies as pansexual, more than 16 years after marrying musician Mario “Souleye” Treadway.
The 52-year-old made the unexpected admission during an appearance on the Handsome podcast on November 3, 2026, hosted by Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin.
During a conversation about her past relationships and the heartbreak that inspired some of her biggest songs, Fortune asked whether her experiences with men had ever made her consider becoming a lesbian. Alanis responded candidly: “I'm pansexual, so yeah.”
Her revelation caught the podcast hosts off guard, with Tig initially questioning whether she was serious. Alanis confidently confirmed her identity, joking that she preferred to leave the announcement until the end of the conversation because she likes saving things for the “epilogue”.
Pansexuality describes romantic or sexual attraction to people regardless of their gender. Although the singer has previously spoken about exploring her sexuality and having experiences with women, this marks a notable public confirmation of how she identifies.
The announcement has generated fresh interest in the personal life of the You Oughta Know and Ironic hitmaker, who has been married to Souleye since May 2010. The couple share three children: Ever, Onyx and Winter.
Despite her latest revelation attracting widespread attention, Alanis has continued to focus on her music, family and creative projects. Her openness has also sparked conversations about sexuality, identity and the freedom to embrace who you are at any stage of life.
