“We’re not up under each other every day anyways,” she said that the time. “He’s recording his album right now, I’m working on a television show right now. Even before when the pandemic first happened, we weren’t together every day. It was three, maybe four days out of the week.”
She continued, “That’s kind of how I like it, because I need space. I like to be able to create whatever I’m trying to create, and if I’m with somebody, I want to focus on them a lot and it can become a distraction. That’s also what I like about him. He’s like, ‘If you need to go, you can go. I’m not trying to hold you back.'”
“This is my first time being in a relationship with somebody who’s not trying to make me turn my light out,” Haddish added of Common. “They’re trying to get me to make my light shine even bigger and motivate me. That is very different for me: supportive, encouraging. It’s refreshing.”
She continued, “He’s still not the whole entire package, but he’s a majority of the change that I need. I don’t think anybody is the whole package. I might be a pessimist in this way, but I don’t think there’s any person that’s the whole shebang, everything you want. I think that’s impossible.”
In July, Common told thePEOPLE Every Daypodcastthat his relationship with Haddish has made him a more “evolved” person.

“I think one of the important things about relationships for me has been to really know myself more and love myself and be able to express the things that I want,” he told host Janine Rubenstein. “I’ve evolved and gotten to that place.”
In September of this year, Haddish appeared on the SmartLess podcast where she told hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett that if a proposal was ever in the cards, she’d want Common to propose with “an apartment building.”
“We don’t live in the same house. I would love for him to always be my friend,” she began. “If he decides he wants to marry me, cool. I don’t want a ring, I want an apartment building.”
On Monday, a source confirmed to PEOPLE the two had split after more than a year of dating.
Haddish was previously married to her ex-husband William Stewart, whom she split from in 2013. Common has never been married but is a dad to daughterOmoye Lynn, 24, whom he shares with ex, Kim Jones.
