Miguel doesn't have interest in dating for the time being.

The R&B singer, who divorced his ex-wife Nazanin Mandi in 2022 after four years of marriage and nearly two decades of dating, shared his reservations towards dating on the Nov 20 episode of Get Got Pod.

Around the 36-minute mark of the video below, Miguel clarified that he's no longer married when asked about how his "approach" with dating has changed. "As of late, we have to be really careful," he said. "I think I think um the amount of consideration, also I don't like to approach... I don't approach."

"I'm happy to introduce myself or be introduced if that's how it all happens," Miguel continued. "And again, I'm not in a position or a place just as a human being where I'm like this is something I'm doing now. ... I'm really actually focused on getting, being, becoming, [the] best version of me for for myself and for my son, for my family."

Elsewhere, Miguel added that he's now "friends" with certain women who've tried dating him before but knew the experience would be "chaos."

The CAOS artist revealed in September that he and former Vogue China editor-in-chief Margaret Zhang welcomed a son, Angelito, last year. The singer would later clarify on an episode of The Breakfast Club that his child was not conceived while he was still with Mandi. He also explained on podcast Club Shay Shay earlier this month that the marriage ended partly because he wasn't "whole."

"I wasn't in the headspace to be with anyone and I didn't know how to communicate that," Miguel said. "I didn’t set it up properly, you know? I didn't just build the trust as just a friendship to protect that later on … the way that I could have."
