Although Yungblud doesn’t typically share the details of his private life, the 22-year-old opened up about his “very public relationship” with Halsey and the experience of “kind of getting my heart broken” in an interview with the Evening Standard. “Well, we were together when we could be together,” he said in February 2020. “I think that’s why things ended. We have our own goals and ambitions. We weren’t ready to… be together all the time.”
Yungblud admitted that some of the issues came from his distaste for Halsey’s home in Los Angeles. “It wasn’t real there. I found it very suffocating,” he said.
An insider confirmed these underlying issues when they told E! News that Halsey began to spend more time away because she preferred to focus on her music career. “It was sort of abrupt and it was Halsey’s decision to end the relationship. Halsey has been very busy with her work commitments and traveling a lot recently,” the source revealed. “She’s been very busy and focused on her career, which took more of a priority.”
While it’s unfortunate that the two couldn’t make it work, as they broke up less than one year after they started dating, it’s refreshing to find two people who are honest about their top priorities in life.
