She added: “I can’t speak for him, but I will say for me the fact that we have been in a relationship with so many people for decades, for some it may be a fleeting relationship, others may have just come [to know] me [in] the last year, but it’s all about connection and energy.’
Chris recently shared his admiration for Kylie to Time Magazine as he celebrated her incredible achievement by being named one of the most influential people of 2024.

“We grew up idolizing some great pop stars,” Chris gushed onstage at the time as he introduced Kylie to his fans.
