Obvi.” The 26-year-old singer, who is the most-followed person on Instagram, announced the break after she spent much of her weekend on the platform. She shared several stories, hosted a giveaway, published two new post, commented on her friends’ posts, and followed several new accounts.

And I just think we’re supposed to be together.” He adds that he understands how shocked others are that he landed such a huge star. “I get it. I was jerking off to her before I met her!” he declares. “I’ve been there. I’ve been in the other shoes.

I think they do a really good job of checking each other when one desperately needs to be checked and told, ‘You’re out of line.’ I think they really, really do care about each other so much and care about what others and what their families think of them.”

The 39-year-old actress, who adopted Lola three years ago, continues, “We are humans. We are not robots. We learn three-dimensionally and it’s important for us to develop in a certain kind of way and not constantly be looking at a screen.”
