“I’m very comfortable in the relationship, more so than any others,” she toldRolling Stone, before speaking about her time with the in-laws at their Pennsylvania farm.
“Wake up around 9:00, 9:30, shower, get dressed, have a bit of breakfast, take the dog out on a really nice long walk, maybe do some yoga, make some lunch, hang out, watch a movie, play with the animals,” she said, before adding that she gifted her boyfriend two pygmy goats named Funky and Bam-Bam, who “love a cuddle.”
And in an interview withBritish Voguefor their February issue, the singer said the couple was “quite private.”
“We’ll only show you as much as we want you to see,” she said. “It’s a little bit of give and take, trying to find the right balance of being so excited and being in love, and wanting to share that with the people around me, but at the same time not wanting to put too much out there. I want to be able to just be happy in this relationship without having other people’s opinions.”
