"I've really enjoyed performing … it's been three years now, which is the longest I've done and probably the longest I'll ever do. But I have 10 shows left after this, back in my (Las Vegas) residency … but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break," she said.
"And I will fantasize about these shows and any shows that I've done over the last three years, and I'll really, really hold them in the bottom of my heart forever. It has been amazing," she was captured saying in a TikTok video. "I just need a rest."

When a fan asked her to marry them, she responded saying, “I can't marry you. I'm already getting married.”
The couple first sparked dating rumors in 2021, a couple of years after she filed for divorce from Simon Konecki, her ex-husband and the father of her 2012-born son, Angelo.
