Freeform’s Wayne Brady: The Family Remix is giving fans the chance to really get to know the multi-talented star we all know and love.
Wayne Brady, actor, comedian, host, singer, and most recently LGBTQ icon, is giving viewers the inside scoop of what his and his family’s life is really like. The series, airing on Freeform and streaming on Hulu follows Brady, his daughter Maile Brady, ex-wife Mandie Taketa, and her boyfriend Jason Michael Fordham.
Over the course of the first season, the series has explored the realities of being a blended family, the highs and lows of stardom, as well as Wayne’s journey following his recent decision to come out publicly as pansexual.
With the season finale premiering on Wednesday, September 11 at 10:00pm EDT, the episode will dive deeper into Brady’s coming out journey. Watch a sneak peek from the episode featuring Brady and his family at GLAAD’s 2023 Spirit Day Concert.
“I want to fight for a world where our youth feels safe enough that they can be who they are,” Brady says in the clip. “That’s just a basic right, right? Just love who you want to love and be who you want to be.”
He goes on to say, “This core four group right here, this is the reason that I’m able to speak my truth.” He looks to his family and says, “The people that love me the most, they had my back.”
Attending GLAAD’s Spirit Day Concert, an annual concert spotlighting some of the music industry’s top performers and emerging queer artists who are revolutionizing the industry and changing the world, was Brady’s first public appearance after coming out as pansexual.
He shares that he was grateful to get to share this moment with his family. “I get to show up with the people that gave me the strength to be able to make the announcement in the first place and to show people that this is what your family looks like. This is what support, this is what love looks like. This is what unconditional acceptance looks like.”
Brady went on to host the 35th annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles earlier this year.
