  Roan currently lives in Los Angeles, California. She is a lesbian and demisexual. As of September 2024, Roan was in a relationship with an undisclosed woman who is not involved in the music industry.
  
  Though raised as a Christian, Roan no longer identifies with the church and has said that her current relationship with religion is "evolving". She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder at 22, which contributed to her difficult childhood. She has described therapy and medication as important facets in caring for and maintaining her mental health. Roan has said that the idea of her trademark " tacky pop star" appearance came to her while discussing her inner child with her therapist. While "Chappell Roan" began solely as a stage name, she has since called it her drag persona and likened it to Hannah Montana, describing the character as "more open and confident especially regarding sex" than her real self.
  
  Following her rapid commercial breakthrough, Roan publicly addressed the pressures of her newfound fame and condemned behavior from some fans that she considered "creepy" and "invasive". In multiple social media posts, she expressed feeling unsafe as a result of public harassment and stalking from fans, which included attempts to contact members of her family.
