In November 2019, the pair gave their first joint interview together for HELLO!, in which they discussed their romance at the time.
Karen said of her then-boyfriend: "He's my rock. It's so nice to have someone that understands and accepts me, doesn't judge and doesn't try to change me in any way. Everyone just falls in love with him too, because he has such a beautiful soul."
