In a recent interview with People magazine, Wayne Brady openly shares his pansexuality, marking a significant personal revelation. The 51-year-old “Let’s Make A Deal” star, who was previously married to Mandie Taketa until their divorce in 2008, talks about his journey of self-discovery and how to support his loved ones.
In his interview, Brady explained that although he initially considered himself bisexual, he now aligns with pansexuality. For him, being pansexual means feeling attracted to individuals regardless of their sexual orientation, whether gay, straight, bi, transsexual or non-binary.
She emphasized that this broader understanding resonated with her, saying, “I think, at least for me now, that’s where it’s at. I take pan to mean that I can’t just be attracted to any person or this type of person physically, but I can be attracted to people who are there.

Opening up about his journey, Brady told People magazine that he had done “all the therapy [he] can do” and undergo treatment for “love addiction.”
“It’s part of my journey. I had to start studying why I find myself and happiness in so many people,” he said.
Following the tragic loss of Robin Williams in 2014, Brady admitted that his death really had an impact and put him on a journey of “self-discovery.”
As a result, the actor became a mental health advocate, actively participating in groups such as Bring Change To Mind, which focuses on genuine mental well-being.
She emphasized the importance of self-love and exploring one’s own identity, stating, “And not just mental health buzzwords, but actually what do I need to do to function in this big world and still be okay with myself and more more importantly, to love yourself so you don’t hurt yourself?”

The “Crossover” star also admitted her lack of love and described this realization as her turning point.
“Once I opened that door to myself, I had to start learning about myself, and I had to start owning things that I might have been either repressed, oppressed, or didn’t want to deal with,” she explained.
Brady continued, “But unfortunately I came home, and I didn’t have that joy. I am happy because I love my daughter and I love my family. I love being a dad more than chocolate ice cream.”
“But that is not my only joy. I need to love myself. And that’s when I realized I had a problem because if I can spend everything on stage and on camera but then I come home and there’s a love deficit, what’s going on? That was my lowest point,” he added.

Before revealing his identity, Brady admitted to struggling with shame and secrecy. He likens this feeling to eating “shame cake” every day and worries about people finding out the truth. Despite having a supportive circle of LGBTQ+ friends, she feels like she’s not authentic and lives in hiding.
He finally realized the need to break free from this behavior and embrace openness, saying, “I’ve told myself in the past, too, that no one needs to know my personal business. But that gives me license to still live in the shadows and be secretive.”
She added, “What it feels like is actually not being embarrassed, not feeling like, ‘Oh, I can’t be a part of this conversation because I’m lying?’ I had to break that behavior.”

He continued, “I can be the best friend to Mandie, the best son to my mom, and one day, the best partner to someone, because I’m doing this for me.”
Addressing his current dating status, Brady confirmed that he is still single. However, he shared that his current priority is his personal growth, saying, “I still have work to do.”
“Then, Wayne as a single, open-minded pansexual can make decisions and be free and open to others,” he added.
