AJ had previously hinted at a romance during a trip to New York in March of last year, when she posted a photograph of her foot next to someone else’s trainer with the caption: “It’s very this…” followed by a heart emoji.
Yet she did not confirm her relationship until now.
AJ spoke candidly last year on the How To Fail Podcast about overcoming past heartbreak when she discovered her boyfriend was unfaithful.
She said: “To walk in on that, I was stunned. Seeing that was crazy. I wasn’t hysterical. I didn’t burst into tears or anything like that.
“In that moment, I need to gather all the information... I want it from her, actually, because weirdly, in that moment, I trusted her more than I trusted him.”
She also recounted about confronting the other woman: “So, I asked her to put her clothes back on and follow me outside and answer all of my questions... and then I packed all my stuff and got a taxi and left.”
AJ reflected on the emotional aftermath of the incident by saying: “However, I proceeded to have years of tears and years of trauma away from him.
“We were, in my mind, building towards a positive future together.”
The host also revealed her dating preferences to MailOnline in November 2020, sharing her frustration with dating apps.
She said: “I am genuinely a personality girl, I like charismatic guys… when I find him I’m going to be like, ‘Where have you been?!’”
She added that apps such as Raya and Hinge hadn’t worked for herm saying: “I just don’t bother.”
