‘I’ve learned that if I do [speak about my relationship], people think it’s up for discussion, and our relationship isn’t up for discussion,’ she explained while ‘laughing at the attempt of the stealthy angle’, the interviewer added.
‘If you and I were having a glass of wine right now, we’d be talking about it – but it’s just that it goes out into the world.’
She continued: ‘That’s where the boundary is, and that’s where my life has become manageable. I really want to keep it feeling manageable.’
