"I'm a hopeless romantic, and very much the person in a relationship to go: If things are going well, I'll buy the flowers, remember the dates of things, plan fun nights out"
About this Quote
The phrase “the person in a relationship to go” is doing social work, too. It frames her as an active participant rather than the passive recipient of grand gestures, pushing back against the old celebrity-girlfriend script where romance is something that happens to women, delivered by men. There’s a modern, almost contractual clarity: “If things are going well” signals that her devotion is responsive, not self-erasing. Romance here isn’t martyrdom; it’s reciprocity with perks.
Coming from an actress whose public image has long been entangled with romantic comedy and heart-on-sleeve sincerity, the quote also reads as image management with a pulse. She leans into what audiences already project onto her - the romantic - while updating it into something sturdier: intentional, organized, and a little bit aspirational. The subtext is simple and canny: I’m not hard to love, and I’m good at loving back.
