A recent conversation prompted King Princess to call her a “bisexual diva.”

Missi Pyle just came out in the most casually cool way.

The Josie and the Pussycats and Sterling Point star recently appeared on an episode of Shut Up, Evan, a Netflix podcast hosted by Evan Ross Katz, alongside King Princess and producer Norman Baker. The conversation touched on a number of subjects, but one clip in particular has been catching people’s attention—Pyle speaking about her dating life.

“I’m single, so I’m ready to get it on,” the 53-year-old said, adding that she’s “not really dating” right now and has struggled to find ways to meet people beyond dating apps (which she relatably referred to as “horrifying”).

“We can change that. We should take you to Brooklyn,” King Princess told her. “Are you cool with whatever gender?”

“I am,” Pyle immediately confirmed.

Channeling every lesbian ever, King Princess jumped on the chance to harp on this turn of events. “You heard it here first,” she said. “Bisexual diva… You just came out on TV!”

Sure, Pyle didn’t explicitly label herself (okay, she may have said “yeah,” but the camera wasn’t on her at the time, so we can’t say for sure). But she did helpfully clarify both her dating history and what she’s open to in the future.

“Well, I mean, you know, I would say that I’ve been mostly in heterosexual relationships, but I have had others,” she admitted. “And I think now that I get older, I’m just sort of like, I’m looking for a person…or persons.”

King Princess followed up by suggesting Pyle look for a younger lesbian girlfriend, while Katz pivoted to the option of polyamory. 

“Could be fun,” she agreed.

It’s unclear when, exactly, the episode was filmed, but we definitely need to know if they actually went out to Brooklyn afterwards!
