After rehabilitation of her known severe substance abuse and tragic romantic matters her drive has grown stronger. "Everyone needs a grieving period. I can't swallow a granade and let my talent explode all over. I have to rain it in.

I'm beyond thankful that god has given me so many wonderful opportunities. But for now I am ready for a change in the upcoming years. Not that I won't be returning to the music industry, I already have new projects but I also have other projects in which I would be able to transform my craft."

She has constantly moved around to make her international tours easier to adapt and has also found her friends and family relationships grow stronger. Her parents are both Roman Catholic which she has mentioned in several interviews, "I am considered Catholic through my folks but since I'm not really practicing I've tried to stay out of trouble."

My siblings have made it impossible for me to give up on my dreams." It has been said that she was recently engaged but wedding date is still yet to be determined.
