Keke Palmer on wanting independence in a relationship On Purpose with Jay Shetty Now, what relationships look like for me is like, I'm somewhere between Uncle Jesse and Erykah Badu probably. I'm living with my family. You know what I mean? Like, I love that. I want to be in my own house with my family. I always want us to have that, like, that makes me happy. So I don't think that my, like, love or relationship with me necessarily looks like we live together. Or if we do live together, we live together part time. Like when I'm coming to where you're at and I decide to stay with you for a little while, and then I go back to my house. So there's a big space that has to be held for independence and freedom. That doesn't mean I want to sleep with everybody in the world, that's not what I mean by freedom. It could look like that. It really means, I just want to have my own space to be me. And I think that's something I used to lie about. Because I felt like I had to perform what it was to be a partner. That means we got to do all this together. But that actually isn't what I like. And so then my personality changed. I started being a little withdrawn. I don't really care as much. And now you feel like I'm lying, but I'm not intentionally lying. I'm just trying to be a role that I don't want to play, and I act most of the time. So now I'm tired of acting with you. And now the relationship is done.
