Courtney Love recently made an appearance on the Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud podcast, where she opened up about her current romantic arrangements. While discussing her romantic situation in the June 11 episode shared on YouTube, the singer shared details about her relationship philosophy, though she refused to mention the name of the person she is involved with. In the podcast, she mentioned:
"I’m a libertine, and the person that I most do my romantic c--p with is also a libertine, so we are really more friends with benefits. I don’t like talking about them because there’s jealousy around that person"
Courtney Love also mentioned that her partner shares the same libertine approach to relationships, and they both have decided to do away with the concept of binding themselves in traditional relationships. While deciding not to divulge the name of her partner, Love also showed selective restraint in the podcast, which is a stark departure from her fiery interviews of the past.
Courtney Love's refreshing candor was complimented by many fans on social media as well, as users praised her for her straightforward approach.
Courtney Love's relationship history
Courtney Love has been leading her life under the limelight since the 90s, and her love life has always been of particular interest to people. Her relationships have also been of a high-profile nature, and she was previously married to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in the 90s.
Love has been associated with other high-profile names over the years, such as Nicholas Jarecki and Liam Garragher. Even though she has had a few flings since her husband passed away in 1994, she reserves a special place in her heart for the late Kurt Cobain, whom she continues to speak highly of to date.
Courtney Love also shares a daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, with her late husband, and has never remarried following Cobain’s death. In an interview with Sassy magazine, she opened up about the dynamics of her relationship with Kurt Cobain, in which she gave fans some interesting tidbits:
"I really pursued him, not too aggressive, but aggressive enough that some girls would have been embarrassed by it. I'm direct. That can scare a lot of boys. Kurt was scared of me. He said he didn't have time to deal with me. But I knew it was inevitable."
From her highly publicized relationship with Cobain to her current libertine approach, Courtney Love's current dating philosophy represents a new chapter in her life. The singer is now 60, and reportedly likes the kind of person who knows what she wants out of a relationship and refuses to be bogged down by societal norms.
Courtney Love's recent appearance on the podcast also gave fans food for thought, as she carefully kept the details of her partner private. This evolution itself provides an interesting narrative arc for fans who have followed her career through its various phases.
