Feimster had jokingly asked Morissette if her bad experiences with the men who inspired her songs ever made her “want to be a lesbian at any point.”The 52-year-old songstress responded, “I’m pansexual, so, you know, I get everything.”For context, one who is pansexual is attracted to people of all genders, with the prefix “pan” derived from the Greek word for “all.”Notaro, seemingly surprised by Morissette’s confession, pressed, “You’re not really pansexual, are you?” Morissette responded, “I am.”This is the first time Morissette, who is known for her breakup songs, has ever come out as pansexual. However, during a 2008 appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” she did admit to having slept with women, per USA Today. “I think it’s a rite of passage to experiment with your sexuality at some point,” Morissette said at the time. However, she added that she is “pretty heterosexual.”Morissette’s public dating history has been largely with men. She’s been married to her husband, rapper and musician Mario “Souleye” Treadway, since 2010. They have three children together. In a 2016 interview with Vogue, she said, “Dating—I don’t want to give you the number. I dated a lot of people before my husband. For me, it’s a numbers game.”Before Treadway, she was romantically linked to Dave Coulier, Dash Mihok, and Ryan Reynolds. Morissette has always spoken highly of the LGBTQ+ community. In 2008, she told The Advocate that she felt “love from the gay community since I was really young because all my friends were gay.”Kelly Corbett is a Trending News Reporter for syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.
