Last week, Big Sean stepped out on the red carpet with actress Naya Rivera, officially announcing their status as a couple. This surprised quite a few people, as they’d known the G.O.O.D. Music rapper to have been with his high school sweetheart Ashely for years. In a new interview, Sean addressed the situation and the status of his relationships with both ladies. See what he had to say below.
On his new boo Naya:
Naya, I been dating her for a little while, and I guess that event (the 42 premiere) was one of the first big events that came up while I was dating her. We were like, ‘Yo let’s go to it’ because we both wanted to go. I’m kinda a private person and she’s a private person.
On his situation with Ashley:
I had a girlfriend too before that who I was with since I was like…. I always been in a relationship since I was 18 or 19 when I got with her. Things didn’t work out and not because of this music stuff. But sometimes when you’re with somebody and you’re 18 and you grow up…and it’s long distance because she lived in New York and I lived in L.A…..you grow apart as people. It’s nothing more and nothing less.
It’s not like I’ve changed. It’s not like that at all. We just really had our differences and it just clearly didn’t work out. It may work out later, it may come back too. Who knows.
But as far as Naya, it’s something new. Naya’s really cool. Our relationship is cool. She’s tight.
