In a conversation with Zane Lowe, Dominic stated he is done being in relationships for now. The singer-actor revealed he had always thought of love as requiring a partner and that he needed some alone time to escape the "loop." He added, “That has actually bled into my romantic relationships, that kind of dynamic, and it is often the cause of the end of my relationship.” 

Dominic doesn't anticipate any friction when he and his ex-girlfriend return to the set of Euphoria for its third season. “I think it’ll be fine. We’re all adults kind of. I’m trying,” he said. He emphasised his development and maturity and the fact that he still gets along well with the majority of the actors and crew.
