“Yeah, we’re cool again,” he admitted. “I think it surprised both of us. It wasn’t something we planned. I believe we were both simply doing our own things. Sometimes, being apart helps you understand each other better.”
Nelly emphasized the growth they experienced during their time apart, explaining that…
“You could be like, ‘Let me see what they say.’ We can all be defensive in our relationships. We know we’re wrong, but we stand our ground. We’ve all been there.”
When asked about the current state of their relationship, Nelly replied…
“There’s no pressure. In the past, with both of us focused on our careers and so many people in the middle of it, it could be tough.”
