Asked if any of the dramatic details reported about her split from Kwatinetz were accurate (he was still in love with an ex, etc.), Murphy told Cosmo, “Not one bit of it had any validity, aside from the fact that, yes, the engagement was indeed called off.”
“After a breakup,” she continued, “it takes a couple weeks for the fog to settle, but it’s always a period of self-priority and growth. Life presents you with so many decisions. A lot of times, they’re right in front of your face and they’re really difficult, but we must make them. Unfortunately, sometimes relationships don’t work out. It’s just the way life goes. But hopefully, you learn from them.”
“I’m still friends with all of my ex-boyfriends, except one,” Murphy also said. “This particular breakup [with Kwatinetz] is like the next phase, as opposed to the end. Yes, the romantic part is over, but there’s a whole other friendship side under development that needs a lot of water. The most important thing is preserving the friendship and making it grow.”
A rumor that she had a cocaine problem wouldn’t quit, either, and she reiterated to Jane magazine in 2005, “No, just for the record I have never tried it in my entire life, I’ve never even seen it, and I don’t leave the house too much, except to go to work.”
