The American said she remains friends with Cody, who she has known for a decade.

‘We are just deciding who we wanna be in our lives, what we wanna do, and so, don’t make it some drama story if next week we’re hanging out, getting pizza,’ she said.

‘We’ve been friends for 10 years and we’re going to continue to be friends, so just don’t make it something that it is not.’
