Shawn spoke about moving on from the 25-year-old songstress during an April 2022 appearance on SiriusXM’s Morning Mashup.

‘I think a lot of it has been about giving myself a lot of grace, you know, and not being too hard on myself about the feelings and the kind of spikes of I’m good and spikes of I’m not good,’ explained the star.

He added that a ‘huge’ breakthrough for him was coming to the realization that he is supported by so many people in his life and that he no longer had ‘to put all of my, you know, hardship onto one person.

‘I was thinking of kids right off the bat,’ he told hosts George Stephanopoulos, Robin Roberts and T.J. Holmes.

‘I think I have a sensitive reputation,’ Shawn shared. ‘He’s this big giant animal, but he’s very sweet and soft.’
