‘And he said: ‘Where is your fiancé?’ and I said, “It’s downstairs.”

‘I was waiting in line to go to the bathroom by the way and I was so desperate but I didn’t even end up going.

‘My conversation was shocking, sometimes I replay it in my head, thinking: “Why didn’t I say this or this?” I’m so lame. I was like, “Oh no, I’m engaged,” it could have been like it was an open relationship.

Intervening, Jamie was quick to assure listeners that the pair were not in an open relationship.
