He said he wanted to be around friends and family, he saw her as neither

The emotional disassociation to your surroundings, fear of commitment, fear of not being understood and the relationship self-sabotage he's experiencing ... are very real. It's a hard question, and it's hard to admit, or fully disclose what he's feeling, especially on camera. Some people go through this event and feel more than others. I'm not a psychologist but I understand what he's going through. Please be kind to this man. We are all trying to figure out.

i think he gave us a general idea of why they ended while still protecting their privacy. he seemed like he was going through an identity crisis and didnt know how to articulate his feelings without the other person taking it personally. sounds like they wanted different things. which is normal this young. ❤️ amazing interview.

Bro this is so heartbreaking.

I think the whole concept of losing yourself to a relationship is very indicative of an unhealthy attachement style. So wether you are the disorganized, anxious or avioidant type - losing all sense of self and the things that make you - well you - I think speaks to the lack of healthy attachement styles that a lot of us have (speaking from experience lol). Hopefully this is something we can all work on in the future and learn about, so that we can be in happy and fulfilling relationships were we don’t feel isolated from the world or from the things that make us feel like ourselves.

his talking voice is so much deeper and i love that

Zack always asking the hard hitting questions getting us the tea!!!

it kinda feels like maybe he just wasn't the best at maintaining relationships outside of his romantic one? which I feel like is a skill that you can work on not like something inherent with being apart of a couple

my heart just broke for him

The not having friends aside from the relationship is a decision one makes. I hope everyone in a relationship could experience that and have a balance with it so that the bond between you and your partner stays healthy while also having other people/friends to turn to and share moments and feelings with.

God dude this breaks my heart… Its probably so hard maintaining a relationship in the spotlight, and trust me Tucker we all know you genuinely love Emma even after your break up….

I relate to this so hard. Your music actually helped me with this so the new album will probably totally be me too lol. In 2016 I moved back home, leaving my fiance at the time because I was so home sick for the east coast. Sometimes relationships just fizzle out and our own stuff just mucks it up. Nothing dramatic really needs to happen. It's just life. And you can only thrive where you feel yourself. I was dying (it felt like that and my depression got really dark) being so far from home. I didn't feel like me (I felt so lost even from me). It's wild. So I completely understand Tucker (aka Role Model). It sucks but it's life

He said so much but said nothing at all wtf

It's those dam GQ or whatever Q interviews that break couples uppp sigh we should've warned them 😪😭

This makes me so sad 💔

The tea!

Cali girl here, born in LA, and raised hours north from LA. Most people in Hollywood are vapid and soul less. The fact that you don't feel right at home with them is a positive attribute. 👍 Protect your mental health and surround yourself with genuine people. 💖 So excited to see you producing new music btw!

I hope Emma is fine with what he said

I’m sure being with her was isolating on a whole other level than he could experience single. Wanting to get away from the circus of that and be the “main character” with your childhood friends and family makes a lot of sense

It seems that he was going through some internal struggles... especially with the identity he had created in LA. His career is really why he is ultimately in LA but otherwise feels no connection with the space. I think through all of that he met Emma but she attracts so much attention because she's such a big internet figure... that he prob felt even more suffocated in LA. Yea sure you can love someone enough to overcome such things.. but you'd end up sacrificing yourself for the sake of the relationship.. which is not healthy. It seems that it was almost an organic breakup of a passing relationship that happens to everyone. We've all had this type of relationship and then we either find it again after growing or find someone else.

honestly speaking, I've never understood how you can lose friends/reduce contact with family members and people you love when ur in a relationship (yes I've been in a relationship so I know what I'm talking abt lol). I'm sorry but that means something is wrong, and ur probably over-dependant on the person. Cuz I can't IMAGINE losing any of my friends just because I'm in a relationship...likeee, I'll make time for my partner ofc, but my family and friends are also important. Because I don't expect him to be spending every waking hour with me or texting/calling me, and vice versa. We both have our own lives and shit to do, so I mean idk....I wasn't in the relationship with them so there's no way I would know whether the were actually over-dependant on each other and CONSTANTLY spending time with each other (to the point where is WAS affecting their relationships with family and friends), or it was something completely different🤷‍♀ But anyway, this was just my opinion, not trying to hate, just my honest thoughts. Would really like to hear if you guys have experienced losing friends and family because of a relationship and why you think it happened + why you think that happens to some people in general

Ngl it sounds like he’s describing an abusive relationship because in a good one , you don’t abandon your friends and you almost become a better version of yourself with the right person.

NOOOOOOOOO 💔💔

Bro is a fkn Taurus of course he gonna act like a baby and go run home and never tell the person he dating how he feels

Im still confused why they broke up am i dumb lol

two people met at the wrong times of their lives as they both are now such social animal. that's amazing.

posting this video separately with a clickbait title kinda feels like a punch, doesn’t it? but maybe that’s just me

Wtf is the thumbnail 😂

Why is everyone infantilizing him? He said literally nothing

All good but he can’t even LIKE communicate his like feelings on this like podcast so

alcohol free is the way to be

Is this Austin mahine

A'int nothing wrong with being a Lobster in a sea of fish - keep your head up Role Model!!!!

😮😮 I’m just trying not too much

to me, this just meant he didn’t want to be around her anymore. sounds like he felt trapped in LA as he lost feelings, and tbh IMO i think he used her for fame. then he got tired of acting. 🎭

oh i think we know who influenced emma’s earlier disdain for la

LA is an incredibly weird place to be. I don't blame him for not wanting to be in the most fake place in the States.

I didn't get it someone explain

so you can ask these questions but not to nasty Ariana grande? 🤢🤮

His name is Role Model? Ego much?
