Speaking during a livestream with Shanks, the singer explained that he is comfortable dating women who are unemployed, noting that his personal financial success means he does not expect a partner to contribute financially to the relationship.

“A woman’s financial status doesn’t matter to me. I am rich. I have dated girls who didn’t make money before. They just sleep and wake up,” Ruger said.

The Bounce crooner also revealed that he is open to settling down, explaining that one of the things he misses is having someone around to prepare homemade meals.

“I keep ordering takeouts because there is no one at home to cook for me. That’s one of the reasons I want to settle down,” he added.

Ruger’s comments have sparked conversations among fans, with many discussing his views on relationships, expectations and the balance between love and financial independence.

The singer, who has continued to make headlines with his music and personal reflections, has previously spoken about relationships, lifestyle choices and his experiences in the public eye.
