We were just hanging out, chilling. And I felt the energy. I felt I need to do this right now. And I just did it. I was like…We’re engaged right now? We’re about to get married? So I was just like, cool! I love this girl. But I didn’t love her the right way.”

However, the couple split up after some time. He explained that he was still recovering from it.
