dated during a period where she was kind of on an emotional and public downward slope, had a few bumps that i can elaborate on if you're interested but overall the relationship worked through them. the relationship was kept mostly private and despite being the subject of reputation/lover it was never directly confirmed, and then mid-to-late-2019 things fell apart. she was worried about the embarrassment and the media reaction to their relationship ending as she was promoting and eventually touring an entire album about how great it is, so they agreed to keep the breakup a secret and their private relationship became more public while it was fake than it ever had been when it was real. more or less!
