"They've been together over a year. He's good. He needs to hold down a job a little bit more. I mean, he's not bad. He doesn't treat her bad or anything like that," she noted to Entertainment Tonight. "They're [young] and they've been together over a year. So, if they last? Fine. If they don't, it can be her first love."
