"I wanted to wait to share [our relationship] with everyone because it was our decision," she told Us in April 2022. "We're very private and, you know, that just seems to be the best for us right now. With my past, things have been public and nothing really necessarily good has come from it, in my opinion. And so keeping things private and just having our own lives outside of social media [makes] it more of a true, meaningful relationship for us."
