“My relationship was based off of love, and there still is nothing but love there. This is not some person I picked up off the street. This is somebody I grew up with. Like, I don’t even know how I’m gonna function without that person in my life. I’ve never lived my life as a famous person without him,” she once said to Angie Martinez on Power 105.1 following her split from Samuels.
“I definitely think we have a normal relationship off-camera … We’re growing as a couple and as people and as human beings, but we still have our careers. And I think probably the only thing that makes it un-normal is that we’re both successful artists, and that’s probably not normal. But other than that, our feelings are very normal. Like, if I were to speak to a hundred girls right now about what they go through with their boyfriend, we’d probably have stuff in common,” she told GQ in September 2015.
