"Mandy because that was the most meaningful relationship"
About this Quote
Valderrama, an actor whose dating history has been tabloid-bait, knows that relationships in Hollywood often exist in two timelines: the private one and the one formatted for headlines. The line is built to satisfy the headline timeline. "Most meaningful" is a safe superlative; it elevates one relationship without specifying why, how, or when. That vagueness is strategic. It implies depth while refusing receipts, letting fans project sincerity and letting former partners avoid being dragged into a comparative ranking that would turn personal history into content.
The choice of "because" is the tell. It's a justification, not a confession. It anticipates skepticism: you can almost hear the unasked question (Why her? Are you revising history? Are you trying to look decent?). So the sentence acts like a preemptive defense, offering a simple moral logic - meaning as the metric - that plays well in a culture obsessed with "growth" arcs.
It works because it’s both intimate and noncommittal: a name that feels personal, a value judgment that feels mature, and almost no detail that could trap him later.
