“It was me who was foolish, rebellious and I didn’t really take responsibility for what I was doing, you know?” the “Sometimes” singer then told E! News. “And after the party, you know, you don’t really think about what you’re doing. So it was one of those really silly things. “

Alexander, for his part, has had varying memories of the events over the years.

“She just came out and asked me. It was like, ‘Well, let’s get married.’ And I was like, ‘Sure. You know, let’s do it, ‘”he told ABC News in 2012.“ I went with my feelings. I was in love with her. I feel like she feels the same way ”.

Last night via text message [was] probably the last time, ”Alexander said in August 2020.“ I would love to go back into his life one way or another, but this protection prevents that from happening. We were never given a chance the first time. If the feeling is still there, maybe we see where they go but it’s not, you know it’s up to her.
