Lauren Jauregui, a former member of the popular girl group Fifth Harmony, has recently revealed that she is exploring polyamory after parting ways with her ex-partner Sasha Mallory. In a candid conversation on the Two Dykes and a Mic podcast, Jauregui opened up about her newfound approach to relationships.
“I’m also kind of in this space of exploring polyamory a little bit,” Jauregui shared. “I just know that I’m in a space right now at this point in my life where I’m like, I want to belong to myself primarily. And then I want to leave space for whoever I meet and me to create boundaries between us, whether it’s like, ‘Oh no, we’re just platonic’ or ‘There’s kind of a little vibe here.'”
The singer expressed her desire for freedom and non-monogamous connections, emphasizing the importance of establishing boundaries and communication with potential partners. “We can explore that, and it won’t necessarily affect if I’m exploring something with someone else, you know? I just feel very free right now, and I don’t feel like this monogamous, held-down energy is really for me.”
Despite her enthusiasm for exploring polyamory, Jauregui humorously acknowledged her past tendencies as a “U-Haul” lesbian, a term used to describe individuals who quickly commit to relationships. “Also, I’m a U-Haul-a** b**ch, so the right person comes and I’m like, ‘Forget it. Everybody leave. I’m getting married.'”
In addition to discussing polyamory, Jauregui also touched on her sexuality, mentioning that she may identify as demisexual. “’Cause I went through the phase of trying to just sleep with people, and I hated it. I hated it,” she admitted. “In order for me to be really turned on and enjoy sex, I need to know that you care about me as a human being. I can’t be transactional for you.”
Reflecting on her past relationship with Mallory, Jauregui emphasized that there are no hard feelings following their breakup. “We’re really close, actually. She’s one of my best friends,” she shared. Despite the end of their romantic partnership, Jauregui and Mallory have maintained a strong friendship.
As Jauregui continues on her journey of self-discovery and exploration, she remains open to new experiences and connections. By embracing polyamory and prioritizing her own autonomy, she is paving the way for a more authentic and fulfilling love life.
