While Alves acknowledged her intense relationship with plastic surgery, she proudly announced that her procedures are now complete.

A sapiosexual is someone attracted to intelligence before appearance or gender.
According to Verywell Mind, sapiosexuals can be part of the LGBTQIA+ community or heterosexual.
Alves elaborated on her identity, saying, “I’m attracted to intelligent minds. You can be as good-looking as you are, painted in gold, but if you don’t have a brain…”
Fans Support Jessica Alves After She Reveals She’s Sapiosexual
Shortly after her interview, fans flocked to Jessica Alves’ Instagram to show their support.
One person wrote: “I hope you find what you’re looking for. You deserve it.”
Another fan commented: “Me represented… demi and sapiosexual.”
Alves isn’t the only celebrity to come out as sapiosexual. In September 2019, music producer Mark Ronson revealed his sapiosexuality on Good Morning Britain (GMB).
“I feel like I am identifying as sapiosexual. Yeah, I didn’t know that there was a word for it,” he said.
“We were all arguing backstage in the dressing room with a couple of your producers. And yes, I feel like I am identifying as sapiosexual.”
However, a few weeks later, Ronson clarified his statement in an interview with Rolling Stone.
“I do not consider myself part of any marginalized community, and I apologize if anybody misunderstood or took offence to it,” he explained.
