In 2014, she starred in his “Surfboard” music video. Cody told Us Weekly, “I try to keep my personal life and my public life separate, but I was like, ‘Why not kind of mix the two?’ It’s gonna be a kind of sexy video, so I want to get something that’s just, like, natural chemistry…We had a couple kisses on camera and stuff, and they honestly had to tell us to stop after they cut.”

After their breakup, he told DuJour, “I love my ex-girlfriend, I always will. It was an amicable, mutual decision, and we still talk every now and then, but the highly publicized thing made me uncomfortable. Going out to dinner and there being all this paparazzi and stuff…. as soon as we split I had the realization that I was straying away from who I was as a whole person. I want to keep it low key, and focus on my music.”
