Kaia opens up about her relationship with Lewis for the first time during an appearance on Jake Shane's Therapuss podcast, telling him that she and Lewis "are healthy" together and "a lot is being healed in this relationship."

According to Kaia, she'd lost herself in some of her previous relationships. "I would completely just change my personality and my values for someone," she explained. "I always dated people that were older than me, so I was very willing to give up everything. I was like, 'I can show you I love you by completely giving up my life for you,' which is actually not how you build respect and trust, and is not good in the long run."

So...what makes her relationship with Louis different? According to Kaia, they're friends above all else. "I really feel like if you have the opportunity to date a friend, do it, because it just is so much better," she continued. "I never wanna fight with my friends. I never wanna be mad at my friends. I respect my friends. It just is like a whole other thing, and I think sometimes you forget you like someone when you love them."

That brings us up to date! We'll be updating it with the latest on these two.
