Michaels emphasized their collaboration was a "healing process," making the musical journey with Lauv more profound and cathartic. The duo eventually dated, and after a few months, in January 2019, they parted ways.

Michaels expressed her feelings through an Instagram story, saying, "No more dating narcissists." Before her Instagram post, she had dropped a hint in a now-deleted Twitter post about eagerly anticipating finding a love that reciprocates her feelings.

JP Saxe Was Julia Michaels' Boyfriend for Three Years

Michaels' first encounter with singer JP Saxe was reminiscent of her first meeting with Lauv. She dated Saxe in 2019 after collaborating on his song "If the World Was Ending."

The revelation of their romance came to light through his heartfelt Instagram post in 2020. The post featured a touching photo of him alongside Michaels, who sat near his late mother at a hospital.

During a challenging time marked by his mother's battle with cancer and eventual passing, Michaels provided solace and support, helping him cope with the profound grief he experienced.

In 2022, the couple separated after dating for three years. Although neither Michaels nor Saxe commented on their breakup then, rumors of their separation emerged online.

Saxe shared a video on his Instagram page, singing a breakup song titled "When You Think Of Me." Michaels posted a clip of herself singing a similar breakup track while playing the piano.
