In 2014, she spoke about dating younger men. She said,
"I don’t have a policy about that. In relationships, I’ve learned that [age] doesn’t matter. I’ve dated older guys and I’ve dated younger guys. I’ve learned that in a relationship with all of its issues, age really doesn’t play a factor. There’s so much more there."
She was actually dating a mystery man in April 2014 but kept her dating life far from her fans and media till now. She addressed,
