Post Malone has candidly shared insights about his life prior to achieving stardom, revealing that he was a self-proclaimed “loner” before the millions rolled in.
The rapper, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, is best known for chart-topping hits like “Congratulations” and “Rockstar,” as well as a Grammy-nominated album.
Struggles in Romance
During a recent episode of This Past Weekend with Theo Von, he discussed his lack of success with women before fame.
When Von inquired whether he was a ladies’ man in his earlier years, Malone emphatically responded, “Absolutely not.”
Reflecting on Past Heartbreaks
Malone recounted moments of rejection, such as getting stood up at homecoming dances, noting, “All my crushes… it never worked out for me.”
He humorously mentioned that he could hardly recall his first success with the opposite sex, joking that he had “probably made a million bucks” by that time.
Finding Silver Linings
Despite the setbacks, Malone reflected on how these experiences shaped him. He spent his teenage years honing his guitar skills, which ultimately paid off.
“And then the money came… and it was awesome,”
he remarked, highlighting his transformation from a lonely teenager to a successful musician.
A New Chapter
Today, Malone’s life looks quite different. Engaged and a father, he has found happiness with his partner Jamie, who generally keeps a low profile.
They have reportedly been together since 2020, and while little is known about her, it’s clear that their relationship has flourished.
Navigating Fame at a Young Age
In his conversation with Von, Malone also opened up about the challenges of entering the music industry at a young age.
He admitted, “When you come into the whole music world so young, it’s super easy to just be a f**k up kid.”
To regain control of his life, he relocated to Utah, deleted his social media accounts, and started focusing on activities that bring him joy.
Prioritizing Self-Care
Reflecting on his past struggles, Malone expressed that he had long wondered why he felt sad, realizing it stemmed from not being able to pursue what he loved.
He emphasized the importance of taking time for oneself, saying, “I think it’s important for anyone… to get out and take some time for yourself. And for the longest time I didn’t.”
Through his journey from a loner to a beloved star, Post Malone’s story serves as a reminder of the transformative power of personal growth and self-discovery.
