During an interview with Us Weekly, she said she has “a new strength” and explained, “Once you have confidence in your love life, your home life, you can go out and conquer the world.”

When asked if this realization brought with it “new possibilities,” she replied: “It seems so. I didn’t expect it. But everything just fell into place, the success of our collaborations, my tours and everything else fell into place.” Timing is everything and everything happens for a reason.

She also said, “I think we made each other better. Rex brings out the little girl in me and I have fun. I’m stupid, I’m silly. He is too. We love to laugh and we love each other.”
