On 18 August 2007, Seguerra came out publicly as a lesbian.{{cite web|url=http://www.pep.ph/articles/13546/Aiza-Seguerra-defends-her-girlfriend-against-detractors|title=Aiza Seguerra defends his girlfriend against detractors|author=Archie de Calma|date=August 18, 2007|language=tl|publisher=Philippine Entertainment Portal|access-date=June 24, 2010|archive-date=February 5, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080205114157/http://www.pep.ph/articles/13546/Aiza-Seguerra-defends-her-girlfriend-against-detractors|url-status=dead}} In August 2014, he came out as a transgender man.{{cite web|url=https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2014/08/15/1357901/aiza-seguerra-im-transgender|title=Aiza Seguerra: 'I'm a transgender'|website=philstar.com}}
In 2013, Seguerra, along with other local celebrities, came together to join the PETA campaign 'Free Mali', a campaign aimed to release Mali, an Asian elephant currently living at the Manila Zoo and the only captive elephant in the Philippines, due to the poor facilities and keepers to care for him. Seguerra spoke up saying that "Mali has been sentenced to a life of loneliness, misery and neglect. When people all around the world are calling for Mali to be freed, in light of the suffering he has endured at the hands of the Manila Zoo, the proposal to bring in more elephants to the zoo is outrageous. They would have to endure the same cramped, concrete conditions, lack of exercise and improper veterinary care as Mali has for the past 36 years."{{cite web |last= |first= |date=August 16, 2013 |title=Charice, Aiza join call to release Mali |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/08/16/13/charice-aiza-join-call-release-mali |url-status=deviated |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230510110331/https://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/08/16/13/charice-aiza-join-call-release-mali |archive-date=May 10, 2023 |access-date=September 24, 2024 |website=ABS-CBN News}}
