The split was, at times, quite public — and since it’s been finalized, the pair have wasted no time going their separate ways. Sophie dated British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson for about a year and a half; as of last month, there were rumors that their relationship was on thin ice, so we’ll see.
As for Joe, his brief relationship with model Stormi Bree came to a close last spring.
So, Joe’s got a new album out, Music for People Who Believe in Love. (I would’ve workshopped that title a bit more, but that’s just me.) According to a recent interview he gave to TalkShopLive, one of the songs on the record, “One Love,” was apparently inspired by a recent dating experience.
“I was seeing somebody at the time, and I was kind of having this idea of dating again,” Joe said. “It was really scary and intimidating. Love takes different shapes and forms, and I was rediscovering what that was.”
“And this person kinda comically, sarcastically was like, ‘It’s only love.’”
“And I was like, ‘OK, it’s a big deal to me,’” he continued. “And a big deal to them, too. But it’s OK to take a leap of faith and just try again and just put yourself out there.”
There you have it. Maybe we’ll find out who, exactly, he was talking about one day, but I doubt it.
