Joanna “JoJo” Levesque is constantly working to navigate life’s “ups and downs.”

“I don’t know who I’d be if it weren’t for my family and my friends who have become family, but I definitely had my ups and downs,” JoJo, 34, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, January 23, while promoting her NGL EP. “I thought I would never be my parents, who I judged at a certain point pretty harshly for struggling with their own addictions.”

She added, “Then I found myself being like, ‘Oh, just because it doesn’t show up like this, I am acting like an addict in this way.’ I’m just doing things that are impacting my life and the lives of others, and I had to check myself many times.”

JoJo further explained, that after coming to the realization that addiction can manifest in various ways, she checks on herself “constantly” in order to be the healthiest version of herself.

JoJo Was ‘Cussed Out in the Street by an Ex’ After Releasing Memoir

“I think that there are tendencies that I have where I need to really be aware,” the singer told Us. “So, that’s why having different practices in place. I’m not sober, but [I go through] periods of [not drinking], like, I’m doing Dry January or I don’t drink while I’m on tour. I don’t like to overindulge in general, and I’m grateful for that. I’ve been on the other side of liking to be out of my mind. I don’t desire to be out of my mind anymore.”

She added, “I’m learning one day at a time.”

JoJo detailed her experiences with drinking in her 2024 memoir, Over the Influence. In the book, she revealed that her parents, who were addicts, met in Alcoholics Anonymous before their rocky relationship that ultimately ended in divorce. JoJo, meanwhile, revealed that she also struggled with alcohol abuse, in addition to what she said was an addiction to love, sex and validation.

“I was in a full-blown addiction to love and validation, sex and stimulation,” she wrote in her memoir, alleging that she once cheated on a past partner. “I was feeding my addiction and biding my time before telling my man that I was the worst person in the world. The sabotage switch flipped, and I responded to the athlete. I mean, at this point what was I if not a sucker for self-betrayal and overindulgence? Somehow, I convinced myself it didn’t matter.”

While speaking with Us, JoJo noted that she doesn’t “really have regrets” about getting so candid and vulnerable in Over the Influence.

“It is my story and, look, if I had written it a year from now or five years from now, would I tell different stories? Probably, [or] in a different way,” she said on Thursday. “But this is what the story was.”

JoJo has since put her past struggles behind her in order to be able to accept a positive, healthy relationship with a new partner.

“That’s what my song ‘Ready to Love’ is about. I was like, ‘I want to make space in my life for someone who’s ready to love and ready to be vulnerable and accountable and have fun and grow together and all those things,’” JoJo stated. “I do think that it has taken me a long time to know myself enough to say yes to the things that really feel like a yes and no to the things and be able to leave things that aren’t right for me and also show up, but be a safe space for somebody [and] be a safe space for myself first and foremost.”

She added, “I do think that it’s just a beautiful season in my life where I feel more present and ready for the things that are meant for me.”

“Ready for Love” is one of the songs on JoJo’s EP NGL, which dropped on Friday, January 24.

“I can’t believe it’s been four years since I’ve put out my other EP and it just means it’s about ownership and empowerment,” JoJo told Us. “This is my first independent release and this album was so about being single and moving to a new city and feeling strong and really feeling more comfortable and confident in my own skin than I ever had before.”

NGL is out now.

Bill Gates is looking back on his divorce from Melinda Gates after more than two decades together.

“That was the mistake I most regret,” Bill, 69, told The Times of London of his previous marriage in a profile published on Saturday, January 25, adding that, despite his disappointment, he feels “more cheerful now.”

Bill and Melinda, 60, confirmed their separation in May 2021 after 27 years of marriage. The pair, who tied the knot in 1994, share three children: Jennifer, Rory and Phoebe.

Speaking to The Times, Bill noted that he initially “absolutely” wanted to replicate his parents’ 45-year union with Melinda.

Melinda Gates Is Not Engaged, No Longer Dating Jon Du Pre Despite Rumors

“I encouraged Melinda to be a little calmer than my mother was, but we were both quite driven,” he told the outlet. “I spent more time with the kids than my dad did, but the ratio was still 10:1, with Melinda doing most things for the kids. We had a great time.”

The tech mogul added, “There is a certain wonderfulness to spending your entire adult life with one person because of the memories and depth of things you have done and having kids together. When Melinda and I met, I was fairly successful but not ridiculously successful — that came during the time that we were together. So, she saw me through a lot.”

Bill and Melinda met in 1987 when she started working for his Microsoft corporation. After tying the knot, the former couple founded a joint eponymous nonprofit. Melinda left the organization after the pair’s divorce.

“When we got divorced it was tough and then she made the decision to leave the foundation — I was disappointed that she took the option to go off,” Bill recalled to The Times.

He further cites the divorce — which was settled in August 2021 — as one of his biggest adult failures.

“You would have to put that at the top of the list,” Bill said of his list of shortcomings. “There are others but none that matter. The divorce thing was miserable for me and Melinda for at least two years.”

Since their split, Bill and Melinda have since put aside any personal issues they may have in order to peacefully coparent their now-adult kids.

“Melinda and I still see each other — we have three kids and two grandchildren so there are family events,” Bill noted to the U.K. newspaper. “The kids are doing well. They have good values.”

Melinda has previously been outspoken about healing from the breakup.

“It’s unbelievably painful, in innumerable ways, but I had the privacy to get through it,” she told Fortune in October 2022. “I also kept working with the person I was moving away from, and I need to show up and be my best self every single day. So even though I might be crying at 9 a.m. and then have to be on a videoconference at 10 a.m. with the person I’m leaving, I have to show up and be my best. And I learned as a leader that I could do it.”
