Leona Lewis Sticks Up for Her Electrician Boyfriend. Do You Ever Have To Defend Your Guy's Job?
A reporter at The Observer recently asked Leona Lewis about how the press has a "snide bewilderment" with her boyfriend of seven years who is an electrician. And her response was so incredibly honest and sweet...
When the reporter asked Leona if she finds the fascination with her relationship to be offensive, she said:
"I find it very offensive. It's like, seriously? This is real life, it isn't make-believe. For people to think that you should leave someone because, all of a sudden, you're a singer and you have opportunities. I feel very sorry for them. It does make me angry. Because he's a great person. And it doesn't matter what you do in life, what your job is, where you come from. None of that matters to me, what matters is who you are as a person-nothing else."
I've always thought Leona had a beautiful voice (I listened to "Bleeding Love" on repeat for days and days when it first came out), but her answer was so brutally honest and sincere, it makes me love her even more.
Have you ever had to defend your guy's job to your family or friends? Have you ever been ashamed to say what he does? And what do you think of Leona's response?
P.S. What's your boyfriend's job, and what's your job? Ever feel like your job is ruining your relationship?
