“I am a really private person. There’s a part of me that is for me and nobody else. But in hindsight, duh, making my relationship public made it everybody else’s business,” she said of Stokes in herCosmopolitancover story.
“And I realized the negative side effects of that while going through the breakup, realizing I had let people in and then felt like I couldn’t get anybody out,” she continued. “It just hit me like a freight train. I wanted us both to move on and be happy. People see the need for sides. There are no sides — there’s no winning or losing in a breakup.”
As for Stokes, he recentlysparked dating rumorswithKelsea Ballerini. But Stokes, 30, has since toldTMZof the country singer: “She’s a sweet girl. We’rehaving a good timeand that’s all I’ll say.”
