Jaliyah Shares An Update On Healing, Dating & Life After Her Split From FunnyMike
Over the weekend, Jaliyah took to YouTube with a video titled “LIFE UPDATE Q/A (STILL SINGLE?),” giving supporters a personal update. One of the first questions Jaliyah answered was about how she has been doing mentally following everything that has recently happened. Jaliyah shared that she initially struggled emotionally, but as weeks passed, she began grieving the relationship and the future she imagined with FunnyMike.
“Y’all ever had that saying of people grieving somebody that’s not dead? Like, I grieve that person and that situation. ’Cause, like, you know how you just have a whole future planned with this person, and you’ve had kids with this person? It’s just like now you know it’s not gonna be there anymore,” she said.
As the Q&A continued, Jaliyah also revealed what she has learned about herself since becoming a single woman. She admitted she’s stronger than she thought, but became dependent on being cared for throughout the relationship.
Additionally, Jaliyah addressed comments telling her she should’ve cheated back on FunnyMike following everything that happened throughout their relationship. However, she expressed that getting even would go against her morals and could leave her regretting her actions later.
“Nobody’s actions can make me go against my morals and standards as a woman. Like, and I feel like God sit high and look low. He know my heart, and every dog has their day. As a woman, you have to sit on your hands, because I know at the end of the day, when I leave, I know the type of woman that I was to you, and I know what you gonna regret once I go that way,” she added.
When it comes to moving on, Jaliyah also opened up about whether she’s interested in dating again following her split from FunnyMike. She said she was initially open to dating but realized she wasn’t ready after ghosting people who asked her out.
For now, Jaliyah says she’s open to dating in the future but isn’t focused on it.
