Meanwhile, Carpenter alluded to themhaving an undefined relationshipin a June interview withRolling Stone. When asked if she refers to the actor as her boyfriend, she replied, “How do I skirt around this question?”

She continued: “The [dating] pool is the pool, and when you meet people that feel authentic and are so brilliant and amazing in every way, that’s what you do. Obviously, I write songs about exactly how I feel, so I guess I can’t be so surprised that people are interested in who and what those songs are about. That’s something that comes with the territory.”
