In a raw and emotional new interview, YUNGBLUD has opened up about one of the most personal chapters of his life — revealing that his girlfriend, Jessie Jo Stark, played a vital role in helping him overcome depression and rediscover himself both as a person and as an artist.
The British rocker, known for his high-energy performances and rebellious spirit, admitted that behind the chaos and fame, there was a time when he felt completely lost.
“I was burning out,” YUNGBLUD confessed. “I didn’t recognize myself anymore. Everything felt loud on the outside but empty inside. Then Jessie came along — and she didn’t try to fix me, she just listened.”
He described Jessie as his “anchor” and “safe place,” someone who reminded him that vulnerability isn’t weakness.
“She taught me how to slow down, how to breathe, how to just be,” he said. “She’s got this quiet strength that pulls me back when I’m spiraling. I owe her more than I can ever say.”
Beyond their relationship, YUNGBLUD also praised Jessie’s unwavering support in his career. As an artist herself, she has been a guiding light behind the scenes — offering creative advice, emotional support, and constant encouragement.
“When I doubted myself, she was the one saying, ‘You’ve got this.’ She believes in me even when I don’t,” he shared with a smile.
Fans have praised the couple’s authenticity, calling their relationship “a reminder that love can truly heal.”
Through his openness, YUNGBLUD continues to show that even rock stars struggle — and that sometimes, it takes one person’s quiet love to bring someone back from the edge.
“Jessie didn’t just help me survive,” he said softly. “She helped me live again.”
