Wayne Brady, the host of Let’s Make a Deal and former Whose Line Is It Anyway performer, came out as pansexual on Tuesday.
Brady, 51, shared a simple working definition of pansexuality: “Bisexual—with an open mind!”
His embrace of his identity was a long time coming: Brady said that he’s been in “a lot of therapy,” and that he was shaken deeply by comedian Robin Williams’ death in 2014. He realized that what he loved about performing was bringing other joy, but “the pity is then I come home and I don’t have that joy. I have joy because I love my daughter and I love my family. I love being a dad more than chocolate ice cream. But that can’t be my only joy. I have to love myself.
He said that while he’s been attracted to men before, he’s never dated one, and tried in earlier years to shove the feeling aside. “I was already bullied about a bunch of other shit,” he said. “I didn't wanna add a top hat on top of that suit.” However, Brady said, looking his truth in the face and accepting it has allowed him to feel more authentic, more himself., and said both have been supportive. He is also considered a co-parent to Taketa’s new baby with partner, and the family is currently filming a reality series about their home life for Hulu.Let's Make A Deal
and be the best Wayne Brady that everybody wants and expects. I can be the best dad that Maile needs. I can be the best friend to Mandie, the best son to my mother, and one day, the best partner to someone, because I'm doing this for me.”
