Rosalía opens up about sexuality, friendships on Euphoria set, and past romance in Elle cover interview
Rosalía says she does not feel the need to label her sexuality, emphasizing freedom over any fixed identity. In a candid Elle cover story, the Spanish star, 32, shares that she doesn’t pressure herself to declare a sexual identity and that “freedom” is what guides her approach to life and love.
The interview also revisits a bit of music and TV history. It recalls that last year, actress Hunter Schafer revealed to GQ that she and Rosalía dated for five months in 2019. Schafer described their relationship as something they now share as part of a “really beautiful” friendship, adding that discussing it publicly sometimes feels heavy but that it’s “none of anybody’s f—— business.” Schafer and Rosalía remain close, and both are set to appear in the upcoming third season of HBO’s Euphoria, with Schafer continuing as Jules. Rosalía’s exact role on the show remains undisclosed, but she revealed she has formed friendships with costars Zendaya and Alexa Demie on set, noting, “I have good friends there. It feels really nice to be able to find each other.”
Sam Levinson, the show’s writer, director, and producer, also spoke to Elle about collaborating with Rosalía. He praised her ability to improvise and bring intensity to scenes, often working in both English and Spanish. Levinson said he loves watching her bring words and emotions to life behind the camera, and he keeps a close eye on her performances with a smile.
Beyond Schafer, Rosalía has been romantically linked in the past to musician Rauw Alejandro and actor Jeremy Allen White. The Elle interview highlights how the artist navigates personal relationships while continuing to expand her creative footprint across music and acting.
Additional context and value:
– The piece underscores a broader trend of major artists using high-profile magazine features to articulate personal identities and boundaries in a culturally resonant way.
– Rosalía’s cross-language collaboration with Euphoria’s storytelling team hints at an even more global and bilingual approach to her acting projects.
– The evolving friendships among the Euphoria cast, including Rosalía’s rapport with Zendaya and Demie, suggest a collaborative dynamic that could influence the tone and energy of season 3.
Summary:
Rosalía uses the Elle cover to articulate a philosophy of freedom over fixed labels, while confirming ongoing professional and personal ties to Hunter Schafer and the Euphoria family. The interview paints a picture of an artist expanding her horizons—musically and politically—while building strong on-set connections that could enrich her upcoming acting work.
Positive note:
Fans can look forward to a season 3 that may blend Rosalía’s charismatic, boundary-pushing artistry with Euphoria’s bold storytelling, potentially delivering fresh, multilingual performances that showcase her versatility.
