Today she dates Tommy Lee, a known ex-drummer of Motley Crue. This relationship seemed to have started in the summer 2017.
Although she denied the relationship at first, she eventually confessed it on social media but the news wasn’t accepted with approval amongst the fans.
The situation ended with her losing 100,000 followers on Instagram just because they haven’t approved her relationship with 24 years older man.
She still says she would never change her decision because she is finally happy.
Her family wasn’t satisfied with her choice, especially by knowing his relationship history and behaviour, and her brother was against it too.
After a while the family decided to give up and they embraced her boyfriend Tommy.
