Althea sits on the stool, ignoring the buzz around her. This was her first interview since the news broke. She hadn't posted, she hadn't acknowledged it. Nor has it been brought up. She wanted to keep it that way.
Its not until the interview starts that she starts to panic.
The interviewer looks at her. "How do you think music has impacted your career?"
Althea shrugs. "I think its made a very important impact. I was very young when I started; I was acting as a baby and didn't get into music until I was like ten, which was super young, if I had a choice, I wouldn't have gone into such a field so young."
A pause. "Have your relationships impacted your music?"
Althea bites her lips. "I think every relationship does. I had a boyfriend who was so much older than me. Maluma, who's now... 30? He was a wonderful experience." she admits and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.
The interviewer lifts an eyebrow. "And how do you think that shaped you as a person?"
Althea shrugs. "We were in very different places. I was only 20 when we first began dating and we dated for four years. Four years is a long time to be with someone." she pauses and lets out a soft laugh. "I'm always going to love him, he was a great boyfriend but he wanted marriage and children, and I literally could not be far from that phase of life."
The interviewer laughs. "Yeah? How has Formula 1 affected your life? Your cousin, Sergio, he's a pilot."
Althea shifts in the stool. "Its certainly interesting. I've met a couple of the drivers' girlfriends. They're so sweet!" she says and glances around the studio. "Charles' girlfriend, she was an inspiration to me when I first fell back in love with music. The Crave has been in the industry for a while, Lane has such a way with words, her lyrics and her way of incorporating metaphors..." Althea laughs. "Willa has become such a good friend to me. Augustine as well."
The interviewer glances at Althea. "Are there any lucky men on the grid that have your eye? Or that you're talking to? There was an article that you were spotted with Mercedes' George Russell..."
