Watch: Jason Mraz Opens Up About the Healing Experience of 'Dancing with the Stars'

Out pop singer Jason Mraz reflected on his coming out journey in an interview, together with his "Dancing with the Stars" partner Daniella Karagach with GLAAD's Anthony Ramosah, People Magazine reported.

"The 'Have It All' singer, 46, spoke to GLAAD about the ways in which he's learned to embrace his identity since publicly coming out in 2018, and also revealed the ways in which competing on 'Dancing with the Stars' has helped him in his journey," People Mag relayed.

Ramosah brought up the fact that he and Mraz have both been included in Out Magazine's list of 100 influential openly LGBTQ+ people for 2023. "It's nice to be acknowledged," Mraz said of his inclusion in the list, adding that, "I had to play out a lot of other scenarios before I arrived here. It's both hard to do those and hard to unravel those, and what I'm basically describing is a divorce, you know?"

The "Make It Mine" singer was seemingly referring to the end of his marriage with Christina Carano, whom he married in 2015.

"You want to heal as many relationships of the past as possible and at the same time, step into this new acceptance and new identity or whatever I'm claiming, and that's also hard," Mraz added.

People Mag recalled that Mraz addressed the issue of being gay and being married to a woman in a 2018 interview with Billboard, noting that Carano had suggested he was "two-spirit" – "a Native American term for someone who can love both men and women," the article explained.

Dance, Mraz told Ramosah, is a means of healing for him.

Saying that he sometimes finds himself "uncomfortable for no reason at all," the singer recounted, "I have to figure out, like, accept myself, get back in my body, move through life in ways that I'm happy about, and so by the end of the day I feel accomplished and I feel happy to be me."

"Dance is an amazing medium for that transformation and for that accepting of oneself."

Ramosah told the pair that he had spoken with fellow Season 32 celebrity contestant and "Vanderpump Rules" star Ariana Madix, who had expressed the hope that Mraz and Karagach would progress to the season's finals so that Mraz could represent "our bi community."

"I've enjoyed getting to know her," Mraz said, explaining that he and Madix's partner, dancer Pasha Pashkov – who is also Karagach's husband – would sometimes dance together for him and Madix to "show us what this is supposed to look like."

Saying that his most recent album, "Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride," spoke to a feeling that he is still developing as a person and "wasn't final," Mraz recounted that dance was a large part of the album and revealed that his casting on the reality competition show came about after a producer saw him dancing in the music video for "I Feel Like Dancing."

He was, Mraz said, "finally dancing, and I had a song that said, 'I feel like dancing.' I think that ticked a few boxes for casting."
