Success on the field has been difficult for Sebastian Lletget this season, with the LA Galaxy currently mired in a six-game losing streak and stuck in last place in the Western Conference ahead of Sundayâs critical match against the Vancouver Whitecaps (10:30 pm ET | TSN 1/4 in Canada; MLS LIVE on ESPN+ in US).
Off the field, though, has been an unmitigated success for Lletget and recording artist and actress girlfriend Becky G, who have navigated a global pandemic to be even closer today.
Whatâs their secret to a four-year relationship in the public eye?
For Lletget, itâs the understanding that comes from shared experiences under pressure in their daily lives.
âSheâs been helpful. Sheâs very empathetic. She doesnât feel bad for me, she wants to help,â Lletget told Kevin Baxter of the LA Times. âYou understand. Youâve had your own struggles that youâve had to deal with so youâve been there. Itâs a blessing that we have this type of relationship. Because if any of us are struggling, we kind of know what that feels like. Thatâs huge.â
