”He’s awesome, we’ve been friends for such a long time. Of all the guys that I’ve met throughout being in the limelight, he’s the one guy that really stuck it out and built a friendship with me, and it meant a lot. I’m glad I’m not hiding it anymore, it was a lot of work.”
She also left him a special happy birthday message on Instagram, seen in the gallery above.
Cute couple.
