However, the pop star is trying to overcome the disorder with help from her new boyfriend, Sam Cooper.

"I was sitting in bed last night and I caught sight of myself in the mirror. I said, 'God, that's a funny looking thing.' My boyfriend said, 'You are, but in a very sweet and beautiful way.' That was smooth of him," Allen said.
