Lindsey Vonn and P.K. Subban ended their engagement in late December after three years together.

Now, the 31-year-old New Jersey Devils defenseman is opening up about dating a public figure. 

"I'm used to people talking about me all the time, good or bad. None of that really matters to me," he told NJ.com. "People know that I have a zest for life and I'm always a happy guy. You know what? When your personal life becomes public, that's what happens."

Subban acknowledged that he knew the deal when he started dating Vonn, who is also a famous athlete.

"Fortunately and unfortunately, I was with somebody who was also a public figure, and that's part of the deal," he said. "But that's a part of life. It's great to know that hockey is here again and I can focus on my game now, and I'm excited for that."
