Madison Beer is opening up about her love life.
The 27-year-old “Make You Mine” singer made an appearance on Therapuss with Jake Shane on Thursday (June 18).
During the conversation, she spoke about dating her 28-year-old Los Angeles Chargers quarterback boyfriend Justin Herbert, why they kept their romance private for a while, unintentionally going public, dealing with OCD, viral clips with famous sayings that have made their way around the Internet, and her decision to stop smoking weed.
Find out what Madison Beer had to say…
On her relationship with Justin Herbert:
“My boyfriend is a Pisces man…when I’m having a conversation with my boyfriend, my hair could be on fire and I wouldn’t have noticed. To be honest with you, he’s the first person I feel that way about. The world can be ending around me and I wouldn’t know well. Which was kind of cute…I think that, it’s just so mature. I guess if that’s the right word, which I’m sure obviously comes with age, but I think that I also am at a point in my life where I’m like, ‘what do I really want for my future?.’ Do, I want to just f–k around forever? No, I don’t, I know what I want. And I feel like that was also really big with us. Meaning it felt like he was, I don’t know, he just came into my life with the perfect time.”
On where they had their first date, and eventually making their accidental public debut last August:
“Dude, literally at my house because we were just, scared to go in public. We were so nervous…we were just trying, we weren’t trying to keep it private because we cared. It was just more so for us, especially when you’re first with somebody and dating them, you don’t want to publicly be out there. And then what if it doesn’t work out a month later? So I’d rather it be really, serious at that point. So I think we just were like, ‘we don’t need to be out in public.’ And we have no problem sitting in my kitchen and talking for eight hours. We don’t need to, go do things.”
“And that day was literally my album photoshoot. And he was just there and didn’t know there was a paparazzi outside. And what’s so crazy is we weren’t even ever meant to go outside. We were only ever meant to shoot in the house and randomly the photographer was like ‘the wall outside is really cute. We should just shoot there.’ I have these, big angel wings on. It’s ridiculous. And so we did it and nothing came of it. And then the next morning, I see the photos and no one has clocked him yet. It’s all just my fans being like ‘Madison‘s shooting’ because I had angel wings on…so no one had said anything. And then my friend who is in a Chargers discord, and he’s a huge Charger fans and he’s like, ‘what is this?’ And he sends me a screenshot of it and he’s like, ‘I just got this, got put in the Discord. And people just realize that that’s Justin.’ And I was like…I knew any second it was about to go everywhere. And I was just like, ‘oh my God.’ And it was fine. I mean, we weren’t stressed about it. And now we’ve obviously just embraced being kind of public.”
On her OCD:
“This is what made me actually want to seek out help because someone that was on my crew on my tour has diagnosed OCD, has been diagnosed for ten years. And there was one day on tour, last tour where it was like, ‘guys, let’s meet in the lobby at noon. We’re all going to go get lunch.’ And I was like, ‘amazing, see you guys down there. Just posting on Instagram really quick.’ This is at 10:30. So plenty of time to get an Instagram post up and then get to lunch. And I legitimately didn’t leave my room till 4:30 PM. I’m not joking. And I was sitting there and I was like, ‘This is disturbing’…I think I’ve had a lot of issues with control. I think that’s also where my death anxiety comes from, a whole different conversation…I think it’s just a, it’s a lack of control, a lack of knowing how it’s going to come across, lack of ability to dictate the perception. It’s just all of it. I think it’s too much for me.”
On the “who’s your friend?” viral clip:
“I think for a long time I was really embarrassed…but now it’s a meme and it’s funny…I look back and I’m like, ‘I was 16 and I had balls on me’…I look back and I can be proud of that younger version of me because I’m like, ‘you know what? You stood on business.’”
On the “I was supposed to be in the video” viral clip:
“I was just talking to a group of people and [Ariana Grande‘s] ‘thank u, next’ had just come out and I was like, ‘wait, guys? I have tea.’ And that’s what I thought. I was telling them tea. And it was something cute. And I think that it the hardest part of all of those types of things was having to be like, ‘oh wait, I can do something that I think is pure intentioned and fine’, and then the Internet can be like, ‘oh my God, she’s so cringy and annoying.’ And then it makes me, question my personality. And it made me just be like, ‘am I cringy and annoying?’ And ‘is that who I am?’ And so I think that sucked. And I was really young. I mean, I was 20 when the video thing happened, and then I was 16 when the other thing happened.”
On her favorite song to sing on tour:
“My favorite song to sing is my song “Envy The Leaves,” which I doubt you’ve ever heard. It’s a very deep cut off of Silence Between Songs. And I just love it so much…I feel like I, I’m sure a lot of people who sing also can relate to this, where some songs just, take you completely out of your body and you just sing and you almost, you black out and you don’t even know that you just sang a song. That’s what that song does for me.”
On quitting weed:
“I stopped smoking weed like a year ago…fully quit because I just, I had one night where I was like, ‘oh my God, I’m going to die one day and be in a coffin forever.’ Didn’t love that thought when I was stoned. So then I said, ‘I’m going to put that down.’”
