She participated in the Link Podcast, last Wednesday (23), and reacted when the presenter said he found it "disrespectful" that the fitness muse had said she would like to get back together.
Rayanne comments on Gracyanne's speech: "I take care of myself a lot, I do a lot of therapy and I take great care of myself emotionally because I don't want to take that energy for myself."
She continued: "I really respect what they went through... a lot, I can't blame Belo, because he's not to blame. It's about the other person, it's not about him or me. I wish her a lot of happiness, I think she deserves to be happy and find someone. If she finds someone like Belo, I think she'll be fine. I think it's just happiness, and I always wish her love ," she declared.
Rayane also says that she makes Belo feel comfortable about dating: "Belo knows that I respect the entire transition he's making, and it's in his own time, and I make him feel comfortable doing whatever he wants. I say, 'Honey, if you don't want to be with me, you're free to be with whoever you want .'
And he says: 'Love, if I'm with you, it's because I want to be with you.' We're not tied to each other. I give him what he needs, and he gives me what I need. We complete each other and are happy ," he said.
She also compared Gracyanne 's stance to an earlier phase of her life: "I've been in that place when I ended a relationship. My ex started dating a girl. I'm a mother, and I had to have contact with him, and he was in another relationship. When we like someone, it's bad, even if it ended for bad reasons. It's bad to let go. Sometimes we don't even like the person anymore, but we're still attached ," she believes.
