Joan previously admitted that she never planned to move to be with someone. “I think you almost have to live a double life,” she told CNN in May 2024. “I will never leave my family.” For me, of course, they are the most important people in the world. I would expect this to also apply to the person I’m with because family is so important to me. That would have to be an essential part of her personality.”

She later said that she wouldn’t mind being in a long-distance relationship. “I don’t think it’s a negative thing,” she said Us weekly in October 2024. “It could be really fun.”
