Ava Max's Boyfriend: The Singer Was Gaslighted in Her Relationships

Like several other women, Ava Max, the talented singer, has been on the receiving end of gaslighting. She once revealed that she dated someone who cheated on her and ended up gaslighting her into being made to feel responsible.

While ascending to pop stardom, Ava Max appears to be gradually revealing a part of herself that has profoundly shaped her present self—her dating life.

Her dating status remains uncertain, but her past relationships have inspired her music. While she has never revealed most of the guys she dated—except for one—she has been open about her previous heartbreaks.

Ava Max Was Gaslighted in Her Past Relationship

The song "Sweet but Psycho" from her first album "Heaven & Hell" remains one of Max's biggest hits. In February 2019, she shared her thoughts on the song, highlighting how it portrays a common misconception. According to her, most men believe that women naturally display such behavior, which regrettably results in men "gaslighting" their partners.

Gaslighting is a harmful tactic involving manipulating someone by distorting information and events, causing them to question their sanity and perception. Its purpose is to control and invalidate their experiences and emotions.

For the pop artist, she sees the manipulative behavior of men as a mockery of women's feelings. Max also revealed her ex-boyfriends gaslighted her. She disclosed:

"It's happened to me where I have been cheated on, and I felt so sad and angry, like it wasn't my fault, but that was because the person was gaslighting me into thinking it was my fault."

The pop sensation said she "hated" all her exes and wrote the song as a tribute to them. According to Max, a bad breakup changed her perspective on life, and she channeled her innermost feelings through her music.

While she has never revealed the identity of the person she was referring to, she noted that the famed song is about strength and confidence, emphasizing that people can relate to it.

Ava Max considered meeting her then-boyfriend "the biggest blessing" in her life.

Cirkut Was Ava Max's Boyfriend

Although the pop singer has been private about whom she has dated, in February 2023, she revealed the name of one of her ex-boyfriends. Max's one-time boyfriend was Henry Walter, more commonly known as Cirkut. She first met him at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles in 2014.

Cirkut is an award-winning Canadian record producer and songwriter with an impressive track record. He has collaborated with several artists, including Shakira, Rihanna, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Cardi B, and Britney Spears, producing and co-writing songs for them.

Notably, Ava Max's ex-boyfriend played a vital role in the success of Perry's tracks "Dark Horse" and "A Part of Me," as well as Miley Cyrus's song "Wrecking Ball." He also contributed to The Weeknd's chart-topping single "Starboy" and West's famous track "Hurricane."

Additionally, Cirkut has contributed to the development and executive production of Max's albums, including her number-one record "Sweet but Psycho," which earned billions of streams.

Ava Max considered meeting her then-boyfriend "the biggest blessing" in her life. Although she never revealed the cause of their breakup, she and Cirkut remain close friends and continue collaborating with him.

She also admitted getting used to the dating scene and added that dating in LA was "not fun." Her primary focus has been elevating her industry status while navigating the accompanying pressures.

Ava Max Overcame Heartbreak

Max's second and most recent album, "Diamonds & Dancefloors," reflects her triumph over heartbreak. She said that while writing her album, she had never felt heartbreak the way she did, making it her most personal work yet.

The album features tracks such as "One of Us" and "Ghosting." She admitted that "One of Us" stirred up intense emotions within her, reminding her of a painful period in her life to the point where she had to turn it off.

In February 2023, Max said her new album brings a sense of healing. She is moving forward with her life and embracing new opportunities, including dating once again as she had a beau. As a whole, she feels that everything is going well.

She emphasized the profoundly personal nature of her new album. It represents an essential phase in her life where she discovered the strength to uphold her beliefs and rediscover self-love.
