Luke Hemmings Of 5 Seconds Of Summer: Why Does His Girlfriend Arzaylea Keep Apologizing?
Luke Hemmings, frontman for 5 Seconds of Summer, has a problem. Fans really hate his girlfriend, Arzaylea. Luke and Arzaylea find it upsetting to see tweets accusing her of being interested in Hemmings only for his money and fame. Fans also claim she deliberately flaunts her relationship with Hemmings to be hurtful. Some even think she is a spy for the tabloids, according to Broadly.
So, 5 Seconds of Summer fans aren’t too fond of his girlfriend, Arzaylea, who wants to confront the myths and address the accusations. She is tired of being unfairly hated. She’s trying to reach out, with interviews and social media. Here are some answers to fan’s questions.
Where Did This Girl Come From?
Luke Hemmings met Arzaylea at Kylie Jenner’s birthday party in August, 2015. They have been a couple for the past eight months. Arzaylea is Puerto Rican, and grew up in Texas. She insists she is just a normal girl.
“[Luke’s fans] want me to be this really horrible person. But I’m not. I’m just a really normal girl who just happens to date someone not so normal.”
Is Hemming’s New Girlfriend A Gold Digger, Only After Him For His Money And Fame?
Luke Hemmings is well aware that contrary to fan accusations, Arzaylea is no gold digger. She isn’t using Hemmings for money or fame. She already had access to plenty of both. She revealed to Rolling Stone that she has a substantial trust fund, and doesn’t have to worry about money. Her parents are wealthy, and both are actively invested in the music business. She grew up being involved in the music industry and knows many famous people through her family. Logically, if she gets invitations to Kardashian and Jenner family parties, then she probably has access to some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.
“People think I use other people for fame, but my parents have been in the music business since I was nine. I have a lot of friends who are already well known.”
What Does Arzaylea Do? Has She Made A Name For Herself, Before Latching Onto Hemmings?
Arzaylea studied at Avenda esthetician school. She is really interested in hair and makeup, but she has a lot of interests and talents. She is currently taking acting classes and her manager, agent, and consulting team are working to promote her acting career. Still, she doesn’t have any one career plan mapped out. She is only 21, after all. She is keeping her options open for future opportunities and is in no hurry to define herself with a single career. Arzaylea’s big ambitions are much broader and simpler than her career goals.
“My ambitions in life are to make myself and the people around me happy. I hope to have made some type of positive imprint on society.”
Why Is Arzaylea Around Luke So Much, And Why Does She Post About Him On Social Media?
Like every other young person she posts on social media a lot, and like other girls she mentions her boyfriend from time to time. She is seen with Luke so much because they spend a lot of time together. Most importantly, Luke wants to spend time with her.
Luke Hemmings has been around this girl for eight months now, and he knows what kind of person she is. Shouldn’t 5 Seconds of Summer fans respect his judgment on the matter? It is ultimately his choice, and we have to wonder if any girl he chose would not be going through exactly the same thing.
Why All The Apologies?
Luke Hemmings’ girlfriend receives perpetual harassment from his fans. It is disruptive and upsetting for Arzaylea. She doesn’t want to be the enemy, and she wonders why some other 5 Seconds of Summer girlfriends, like Ashton Irwin’s former girlfriend, Bryana, were more accepted. Arzaylea is still putting her own life together and she really wants to be liked by fans. She finds herself apologizing for things that are out of her control.
“I felt like—if I apologized—maybe they would chill with the hate.
“It’s really hard for people to grasp the idea that I’m a human and that I have feelings. I love music, I love bands. I’m so much like [Luke’s fans], and they have no idea.”
Rolling Stone writer Britney Spanos had a few insights into fan’s attacks on Arzaylea. Britney speculates perhaps all the guys in 5 Seconds of Summer are maturing and changing in their musical tastes. There will be a lot of changes in various aspects of the band as they continue to grow as musicians and as people. It isn’t anyone’s fault that they are growing up, finding new girlfriends, and becoming adults.
“If a band develops beyond what a fan’s idea of it is, they don’t want to blame the band. It’s Yoko syndrome. Everyone wants to blame the girl that’s dating them.”
Luke Hemmings’ girlfriend, Arzaylea, is seeking the approval, friendship, and support of 5 Seconds of Summer fans. She just wants to be friendly and share her social media posts without getting hated. She, too, is human, and wants to be liked and accepted just like anyone else.
