Rosalia, the renowned Spanish singer, has openly stated that she does not feel pressured to define her sexuality. In an interview with ELLE magazine, the 32-year-old artist emphasized her belief in personal freedom, stating that this philosophy guides her life. This comes in light of revelations from her friend, actress Hunter Schafer, who disclosed last year that the two were romantically involved for a brief period in 2019.
When asked about the need to label her sexual identity, Rosalia confidently replied, “No, I do not pressure myself. I think of freedom. That’s what guides me.” This perspective highlights her commitment to living authentically, without the constraints of societal expectations.
Relationship Speculations and Creative Process
Recently, Rosalia has been the subject of dating rumors involving German actor and singer Emilio Sakraya. However, she downplayed the speculation, attributing her focus to her work in the studio. “I spend many hours in the studio. I’m in seclusion,” she remarked, reinforcing her dedication to her artistic endeavors.
The artist has not released a new album since her critically acclaimed 2022 project, Motomami. Rosalia expressed her desire to take her time in finding inspiration, emphasizing the need for artistic purity over commercial pressures. “The rhythm [of the music industry] is so fast. And the sacrifice, the price to pay, is so high,” she said. “The driving force that leads you to continue making music has to come from a place of purity.”
Rosalia further elaborated on her creative process, contrasting traditional masculine and feminine approaches to songwriting. “Many times, the more masculine way of making music is about the hero: the me, what I’ve accomplished, what I have…blah blah blah,” she explained. “A more feminine way of writing, in my opinion, is like foraging. I’m aware of the stories that have come before me, the stories that are happening around me.” This unique perspective allows her to share experiences without placing herself at the center of the narrative.
Friendship Beyond Romance
Hunter Schafer, who is 26 years old, has also commented on the nature of her relationship with Rosalia, stating that she believes it is “nobody’s business.” In an interview with GQ magazine, she described their bond as beautiful, regardless of past romantic involvement. “I have really beautiful friendships with people that I was once romantically involved with. Rosalia’s family no matter what,” she said, addressing the ongoing speculation. “Part of us just wants to get it over with, and then another part is like, ‘It’s none of anybody’s f****** business!’”
Rosalia’s approach to her sexuality and relationships reflects a broader cultural shift towards individual expression and authenticity. As she continues to navigate her career and personal life, her commitment to freedom remains at the forefront, resonating with fans around the world.
