Wayne Brady told PEOPLE on Monday he is a pansexual.

Brady puts it another way: “Bisexual — with an open mind!” the 51-year-old said.

“I am pansexual,” he said, meaning that he is attracted to persons regardless of their sex or gender.

According to the report, Brady’s ex-wife Mandie Taketa, 47, was the first person he came out to.

“I just said, ‘Great.’ As I knew coming out would help him be happier,” she said.

His daughter, Maile, 20, was also supportive.

“I just said, ‘OK,’” she said.

The three of them, along with Taketa’s partner Jason Fordham, are filming a reality series about their blended family, set to premiere on Hulu next year. According to PEOPLE, Taketa and Fordham had a baby in 2021, and Brady is considered a co-parent.

“In doing my research, both with myself and just with the world, I couldn’t say if I was bisexual, because I had to really see what that was, especially because I really have not gotten a chance to act on anything,” Brady said. “So, I came to pansexual because — and I know that I’m completely messing up the dictionary meaning — but to me, pan means being able to be attracted to anyone who identifies as gay, straight, bi, transsexual or non-binary. Being able to be attracted across the board. And, I think, at least for me for right now, that is the proper place. I took pan to mean that not only can I be attracted to any of these people or types physically, but I could be attracted to the person that is there.”
