‘We just became friends. It’s one of the reasons I think our relationship has always been so good,’ he told E! in 2017. ‘We were friends for a good two years before we ever went on a date. She knew what kind of guy I was, she knew what my morals were, my priorities were, and vice versa.’
Though they were opposites, Freddie said that ended up working to their favor.
‘Neither one of us would have ever – if you ask her, she would have been like, “Oh my God, I thought he was a dork.” And I’d be like, “Oh my gosh, she just ran a million miles an hour and I couldn’t keep up with her.”
‘We ended up being the perfect balance, you know what I mean? But it didn’t happen until years after, and there was a solid foundation built, and that’s probably the main reason why we’ve always been cool and grooving.’
