Charli xcx says her husband George Daniel was the 1st person who really understood her
Mumbai, July 31
Singer-songwriter Charli xcx has shared details about her relationship. The 33-year-old singer, born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, has shared how she fell in love with her husband George Daniel.
The singer shared that her falling for her husband was inspired by her song 'I'm Afraid' on her latest album, Music, Fashion, Film. While speaking on the recent episode of Apple Music's Zane Lowe Show, she said, "'I'm Afraid' is a very real song and it's about George and I's relationship, but more specifically my relationship with commitment, I suppose, and why I have a history with that".
She proceeded to say that The 1975 drummer was "sort of the first person who really understood me her intricately, like my pros and my cons, let's say".
Charli described herself as "an artist who sometimes is extremely narcissistic, you know what I mean? He knows. Sometimes being an artist, you do get to be selfish. So, it's like kind of part of the job. You get to be like, I'm not doing that, I'm doing this. I'm doing it my way. I'm canceling this. I'm going to be late. Sorry, by the way. It's like you get to just be like selfish", she said.
However, the singer noted that when you are in a relationship "you don't really get to be selfish all the time."Or you can, but it shouldn't be like that. And you kind of have to separate those two parts of your brain. Like, oh, this isn't the artist brain. This is the like being a good person, loving the person unconditionally", she added.

Interesting perspective. But I think she's a bit too self-absorbed. Saying she's "extremely narcissistic" and justifying being selfish because she's an artist? That's a bit too much na. Relationships should be about compromise from both sides.
Beautiful story! It's rare to find someone who truly "gets" you - both your strengths and flaws. Glad they found each other. Reminds me of how my wife understood my quirks when no one else did.
Honestly, this is such a Western way of looking at relationships. In India, we grow up learning to put family first. Being "selfish" is not seen as a good thing. But I get her point about creative people needing space. Good for them! 😊
Love this! I think every artist has that battle between their work and personal life. It's great she found someone who understands her fully. That's real connection yaar!
I appreciate her honesty about the selfishness part. Many artists are like that but won't admit it. At least she's self-aware and trying to be better. That's growth. Proud of her for sharing this.
Ye sab theek hai, but why is this news in India
