Role Model on Past Breakup
Reflecting on that breakup in a 2024 interview, he cited homesickness as a key factor. "That was the biggest thing, I just became the most homesick I've been in my life," he said, adding, "I just wanted to go home and be with my friends and family and have some normalcy. I think that would be very confusing for the other person. Like, 'Why are you running away from me?'" as quoted by E! News. (ANI)
