"I am single. I'm focusing on myself," she said during the episode. "And you know, just having fun and loving life. And me and Cruz are just two peas in a pod. So we're just working on his therapies and everything, and he's doing so good. And I'm still healing myself, but doing so much better, even from what you saw on this season. I'm in such a great place. So I'm having fun. I've got some crushes and stuff like that, but nothing serious yet. I don't really need a boyfriend. We all saw how that went down for me. It was very short."
