He tells Britain's The Sun, "I wish her all the best but honestly I never thought they would break up. I still thought she might have taken him back.
"But I'm happy for her if she's happy and I can't wait for the live shows to start. She always gives it 100 per cent. She's so vibrant and I hope she's happy, I really do".
