Between 2017 and 2020, fans of singer Fletcher, born Cari Elise Fletcher, and YouTuber Shannon Beveridge suspected the two were romantically involved. The speculation continued within those years, but they never addressed the rumors.

That was until 2020, the year they ended their romance. Speaking about the relationship, Shannon Beveridge said she and Fletcher had agreed to keep it between themselves from the beginning. But as quarantine took over in the wake of Covid-19, the former couple chose to open up.

"Our relationship has always been something that we really wanted to just be to keep to us. But I think it's gotten to the point now for both of us that it's just like keeping secrets sucks," Fletcher said in September of that year.

The "Undrunk" artist added that it was time she was honest with her followers, who she felt cared about what she was going through. "People don't have time for robotic artists and robotic conversations," she remarked.

Fletcher and Shannon Beveridge Separated

Fletcher and Beveridge announced their separation after collaborating on the visuals for Fletcher's EP "The S(ex) Tapes," which they created in Fletcher's old home. Beveridge, known for her LGBTQ content, was Fletcher's director and cinematographer.

Discussing the record, which chronicles the several stages of coping with the end of a romance, Fletcher stated that it was about "needing the time and the space to be away from somebody and to sit with things by yourself and process what you need to process" and grow from the experience.

Fletcher's Song, 'Becky's So Hot,' Garnered Mixed Reactions

Fletcher released the single "Becky's So Hot" from her debut album "Girl of My Dreams" in July 2022. The lyrics indicated Fletcher's desire to be sexually intimate with her ex's new partner.

Fans Are 'Shipping' Fletcher and Her Close Friend Kelsea Ballerini

Fletcher and Kelsea Ballerini are known for their collaboration on the song "Better Version," which appears in Fletcher's record "Girl of My Dreams (Deluxe)," but more than that, fans have been keeping up with their friendship, hoping they become more.

"Oh, I've seen all the shipping," Fletcher remarked and alluded that Ballerini was a "special" person who came into her life during her healing process. She added, "[...] People can make whatever they want out of a dynamic. We've seen all the comments, and it's a funny thing."

The two vocalists met at one of Fletcher's shows while she was on tour and "very much hit it off." They've developed a deep friendship ever since. Since her split from Beveridge, Fletcher hasn't been linked to anyone, but the artist has been candid about her sexuality.

Growing up Catholic in a conservative household in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Fletcher learned early that her sexuality was "wrong." It wasn't until she left for college that she finally had the freedom to find the love she desired.

The artist — listed in Forbes' 30 under 30 list alongside JoJo Siwa and Barbie Ferreira in 2021 — fell in love with a girl for the first time. Although it ended in heartbreak, she began to embrace her sexuality and eventually opted not to pick a label. Fletcher is also a supporter of non-monogamy.
