Amber Rose's new boyfriend hates fame

24 May 2015 - 16:47 By Bang Showbiz

Amber Rose's new boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly struggles to cope ''every day'' with the pressures of dating her because he hates being in the spotlight. Machine Gun Kelly - whose real name is Colson Baker - started dating the 31-year-old model last month, but admits they are very different because he is ''one of the most anti-spotlight people ever.'' The rapper said: ''I had no idea what came with [Rose's lifestyle]. I'd be lying if I didn't say that it's not like a struggle every day doubled with the fact that it is like one of the most anti-spotlight people ever and one of the most in-the-spotlight people ever.'' But the 25-year-old star insists their relationship feels ''completely natural.'' Baker told US Hip Hop radio station Hot 97: ''Everything was completely natural. It wasn't anything I had expected or had planned or anything like that. You know when the universe throws something your way or things happen, I'm one of those people that goes with it, and I don't fight it.'' Machine Gun Kelly previously collaborated with Amber's estranged husband Wiz Khalifa on the song Mind of a Stoner. The former couple, who have two-year-old son Sebastian, split last September amid cheating rumours, but the blonde beauty confessed last month that she would love to get back together with him. She said: ''We're not back together but ideally I would like to. He's the love of my life and we have a beautiful kid together but right now we're just dating other people. ''We're working on our friendship and co-parenting for Sebastian which is the most important thing.''..
