Trisha Paytas’ sister Kalli has come out and revealed she has a girlfriend during the latest episode of the Just Trish podcast.
Kalli, a recurring guest on Trisha’s show, opened up about her sexuality and hard-launched the relationship on 1 October. She also shared a glimpse into how quickly things moved early on, saying she “just never hung up the phone” after calling her girlfriend, Jackie, one day.
Kalli also opened up about telling her family she was dating a woman, while Trisha voiced support for her sister and her new relationship.
What did Kalli and Trisha say on Just Trish?
Trisha said she was initially surprised when Kalli told her she had met someone, because Kalli had been “giving up on love” and “hadn’t really been talking about dating”.
The conversation focused on Kalli’s relationship with Jackie, as well as being open with the people closest to her.
Kalli has appeared on Just Trish many times over the life of the show, but has generally kept a lower public profile than her sister. She is known publicly primarily through her association with Paytas and appearances in her online content.
More on Trisha Paytas
Just Trish has become a regular place for big personal-life conversations and announcements, with moments from the podcast often circulating far beyond its core audience. In January, Paytas said she intended to run for a seat in California’s US House of Representatives elections in November 2026 during a separate Just Trish episode posted on 6 January.
Kalli’s relationship reveal also lands in a pop culture moment where “girlfriend confirmations” are increasingly happening via podcasts and social media. Another recent example came when Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Layla Taylor seemed to confirm a girlfriend after coming out as bisexual on a podcast.
