Mark Ranson and Sapiosexuality
Mark Ronson has come out as sapiosexual. The 44-year-old DJ and singer revealed his sexual orientation on Thursday during an interview with ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
"I feel like I identify as sapiosexual," he said during the interview.
Prior to his interview, the show hosted author Nicki Hodgson who spoke out about sapiosexuality. "The definition of sapiosexuality means intelligence first," she said during the interview. "I have dated men, women, transmen, transwomen, and across the gender spectrum and identify now as bisexual. The thing that has linked all these people has been their brains."
Ronson revealed that he didn't actually know that there was a word for sapiosexuality until he heard Hodgson talk about it earlier on the show.
What is SAPIOSEXUALITY?
Someone who identifies as sapiosexual is attracted to another person’s intelligence or mind. The primary attraction is the person’s mind, but the next point of attraction is up to the individual. Anything that people prioritize when they’re choosing someone to be in a relationship with.
Sapiosexuality is non-gendered, non-binary, and not heteronormative, meaning you can identify as another type of sexuality while also being sapiosexual (so that means, like Hodgson, you can be bisexual and sapiosexual). While this term has become increasingly recognized in recent years, this concept is nothing new.
Much like sexual orientations like pansexuality and demisexuality, defining sapiosexuality can help people understand their sexuality in greater depth. These terms are important because they give more breath to the range of sexual experiences that people have, and we’re stepping away from the heteronorm and helps normalize the conversation around sexuality.
Is being sapiosexual actually a thing??
Yes, it is! The term originates not from the LGBTQ community, but from OKCupid, the dating site that made headlines when it added “sapiosexual” to its list of sexual orientations. Since then, the term has been popularized in mainstream culture and received a trend piece in the New York Times. One woman in the piece described sapiosexuality as being able to “access my wisdom and love and ability to analyze in this incredible way.”

About Mark Ranson
Back at the start of the year, Mark Ronson, accompanied by frequent collaborator Lady Gaga, set off around the awards circuit, landing a Golden Globe, an Academy Award and a Grammy for their mammoth A Star Is Born hit, ‘Shallow’. A few years previous to that, back in 2015, the musical polymath had cleaned up in a similar fashion with global, Bruno Mars-featuring mega-smash ‘Uptown Funk’, picking up a Best Single BRIT Award and another Golden Globe, and topping the US Billboard chart for 14 weeks - the second longest run of any track released this decade. In between those two career peaks, the London-born, LA-based 43-year-old has, among other things, produced massive albums for Lady Gaga and Queens of the Stone Age, started new project Silk City with pal Diplo (landing another Grammy for their Dua Lipa collab ‘Electricity’ along the way) and launched record label Zelig, kick-starting the career of King Princess.
