In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Erica Fernandes opened up about her love life. She mentioned how she had been in an 'off-and-on relationship' for three and half years. She also talked about why she did not disclose her boyfriend's name. She said to the portal:
"It was kind of an off-and-on relationship that I had for about three and a half years. But, it didn't work. People comment on why have I never mentioned who was my boyfriend at that point in time. Because I have never mentioned anybody's names before because that's respect. You know, no one wants the world to know their name or who I am with. That's the respect I have shown. It should be like that. I have never hidden and I don't find the need to hide anything."

"I have fallen twice and become stronger. And that has made me a very strong person. So, the next person I know, I know I'm not going to have someone who takes me for granted."
