At the 2024 Emmys, which were held in January, the two made their red carpet debut. The following month, she spoke to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about their relationship.
“Without getting into too much detail, I think it's just really important to meet someone that respects you," she said, as per Peoplemagazine. "I think it's really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But I'd have to say overall it's the safest that I feel and it's been really lovely and I've only grown through it, so it's awesome.”
