She and Edwards, a music executive, have been linked since November 2022 after meeting at Paris Fashion Week.

She opened up to PEOPLE about their relationship in October 2023, saying she’d learned it wasnever too late to find love.

“I hate when people say people are special, but lots of people say I’m special, so I can say that he’s special," she said. “No matter what happens, I love being with him. He makes me laugh, and we have fun. What I learned is that it’s never too late. If you wrote out all the statistics, you would go, ‘Well, this is doomed.’ But we’ve been together a year, and if it was just a year, it would’ve been worth it. I’ve had the best time.”

Several months later, she revealed that she’d brokentwo of her most important ruleswhen she first met Edward.
