Approaching the topic with a highly professional and respectful tone, the famous singer said the following:
"I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to comment; I think it would be silly anyway. I mean, years have passed, we're divorced, we have children, we get along very well. Thank God. Besides, I am aware of it; I also have a girlfriend. So, it's a situation as it should be for every healthy person; there's nothing abnormal about it."
