Alanis Morissette sends her best

The ‘Ironic’ singer – who split from ‘Definitely, Maybe’ star Ryan last year after a four-and-a-half-year relationship – insists she is happy for the newly-engaged couple.

When asked if she finds it difficult to see Ryan has moved on, Alanis replied: “I have enough distance, so to be perfectly honest I’m not really that focused on it. I wish anyone whom I love, whether I hang out with them or not, great success and love in their life. So God speed.”

Alanis also revealed her break-up helped her focus on her songwriting, and provided her with inspiration for her new album ‘Flavors of Entanglement’.

She added: “In the middle of my break-up, I went to London for 12 days, wrote 12 songs. It was all very immediate and visceral. It was very in the moment. One of the main themes of this record is recovery, rising up from the ashes. So it’s sort of an unraveling of my own personal life, hitting my own rock bottom and rising up.”
