Aaliyah opens up on her relationship issues with Shane

In the recent episode of her podcast Opposites Attract, Aaliyah took to discussing relationship issues with Shane and said that every couple has issues. There is no couple that is perfect and we are one of them, said Aaliyah. Talking about the problems and how they overcame them, she said, “When we first started dating, we had a lot of issues. We are three years into our relationship now and the first year was definitely hard.” She added, “We almost even broke up once because we were having so many issues. Those issues were rooted in unhealthy behaviors or patterns that both of us had, that we had to unlearn to be able to be where we are today in our relationship.” Adding to her comments, Shane further said that they have come a long way in their relationship and once they came together, a mirror was faced and all their problems were suddenly reflected back to them.

Stating that toxic relationship habits such as unhealthy communication could become a hurdle in relationships, Aaliyah said that it is important to unlearn those habits.
