"If everyone knew everything, [my songwriting] wouldn’t be as candid, would it?” he said. “There’d be all these theories, and I’m not in town for that. I’m here to write what’s on my brain, and love happens to be one of those things that’s flying around me.”

Over the years, the pair have been seen together in public on occasion, including a London shopping trip in May 2021 and a lavish vacation to Mexico in January 2022, where the PDA was on full display.
