Big Brotheris one of the biggest shows in thereality television world.
What doesn’t come as a surprise is just how many romantic couples have resulted from this series.
However, not all showmances are created equal.
Very few relationships made inside the house survive very long in the real world.
Not everyone gets to be a “Brenchel.”
Here’s what the most memorableBig Brothercouples are doing now.
The two quickly appealed to fans and soon “Swayleigh” was a favorite.
Swaggy took that time tomeet Dayton’s parentsand spent much of the 2018 summer with her.
This all culminated with aheartfelt proposalat the season finale.
Despite already being legally married, the two promise a full-blown wedding.
Everybody come to the wedding, it’s an open invite."
Cody and Jessica
It was day oneBig Brother 19andsparks were flyingbetween Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson.
The two might have beenfan favorites, but, in the house, they were basically pariahs.
Nickson rocked the boat early on and eventually tanked both his and Graf’s games.
Nevertheless, after somenasty treatmentin theBig Brotherhouse, their future was looking bright.
The two were cast on andsubsequently wonthe 30th season ofThe Amazing Race.
After two amazing TV journeys together, Nicksonproposedto Graf.
They wed in the fall of 2018with a baby already on the way.
The pace of their relationship was quick, but the two have the love to back it up.
“We are so lucky to have found each other in the most unconventional of ways but we did.
Their daughter, Maverick Nickson, wasbornon St. Patrick’s Day 2019after an emergency C-section.
The two certainly hadaffectionfor each other, but Shafaat’s attitude constantly made them butt heads.
Evidently, some time in the jury house did the pair some good.
In November 2018, the lovebirds were still in a long-distance relationship.
However, Calafiore was not a hit with the other ladies in the house.
He would badmouth a lot of the female houseguests, includingEverette herself, behind their backs.
Despite all of this, Everette stuck with him, and the twodated for a timeafter the season ended.
Zaulie officially broke up just before the 2017 Super Bowl.
Everette described their relationship at the time as good friends and “really tight.”
Calafiore would go on to star inEx on the Beachand would get intoeven more dramathere.
Not even Olson wassafefrom her temperament.
Eventually, both would leave the house, with Olson getting fourth place and Zuckerman seventh.
While they dated for some months after the show, theybroke upby early February 2014.
A major factor was Olson’s strong feelings for Jessica.
In anopen letter, he proclaimed his regret for going on the show in the first place.
There wasspeculationthat Olson did get back together with his ex, but no hard evidence exists.
Zuckerman moved on andmarriedin the fall of 2017.
She gave birth to her daughter,Madison Rose Zachman, in December 2018.
Rachel Reilly had an unremarkable game inBig Brother 12, with only one ally in Brendon Villegas.
And she found herself gettingevictedin Week 5.
Reillywon the seasondue to her amazing gameplay and her relationship with Villegas.
The couple has made many moreappearancesthroughout the franchise and has become an iconic pair.
Villegas and Reilly said"I do"in September 2012.
In 2016, they welcomed their first child,Adora Borealis Villegas, into the world.
Jeff and Jordan
Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd together make another unforgettable couple for the franchise.
After their season, they became inseparable.
As of 2019, Lloyd and Schroeder have been together for a decade.
It just goes to show how one little reality show can change your whole life.
It wasn’t until well after Franzel won the season that the two connected.
According to them, they really fell in love while filming the 31st season ofThe Amazing Race.
Evidently, the journey was a success.
According toETin May 2019, the two are looking at a June 2020 wedding.
During the season, she even admitted towanting to marryUhas.
Perhaps that’s why their showmance was mostly strategy.
Evidently, Kirby wasin a relationshipat the time.
“Who I am in my real life is not what I do on TV.
Thus, the shocking twist ofPierzina eliminating Kirbywas probably not as emotionally charged in reality.
Kirbymarriedlongtime fiancee and fellow reality star Erin Brodie in 2017.
He continues topractice dermatologyin Los Angeles.
Pierzina later competed inBig Brother 14and,joinedThe Amazing Race’s 31st seasonwith fellowBig Brotheralum Britney Haynes.
Unsurprisingly, Kirby and Pierzina’s strategic showmance did not continue romantically once the curtain closed on theirBig Brotherseason.
The major difference being, however, that their showmance was for real.
At the finale though, Henry didn’t seem to hold much of a grudge.
But it’d appear that the two eventually drifted apart.
Henry did an interview withJoker’s Updatesin which she reassured fans that she still keeps in contact with Daniel.
While Henry reportedlymarriedin 2012, Daniel wasarrestedthat same year for domestic violence.
Production brought back a twist from Season 5 with the “Twin Twist.”
Naturally this caused someawkwardnessbetween Matelson and Nolan’s budding relationship.
Despite the drama, theobvious affectionshowed through, and the twotried to make it workoutside of the house.
But Nolan and Matelsonsplit upin February 2016.
Matelson continues to wrestleunder the name Luchasaurus, complete with anamazing face mask.
Nolan, on the other hand, has beenpursuing a modeling careerwith her sister.
A simple three-week “flirtmance” blossomed into so much more.
They starteddatingoutside of the house after the Season 13 finale and eventually married in 2013.
We got to know each other really well, and we fell in love!”
FellowBig Brotheralums Rachel Reilly and Brendan Villegas even attended the wedding.
Naturally, Donato and Brioneswelcomed their first child, Tennessee Autumn, in August 2018.
With all that power, no amount ofmake-out sessionscould stop the house from targeting them.
Honeycutt and Poole wereput on the block against each otherin Week 6.
“This has been her dream …
The two continued dating after the show, with Poole evenmeeting Honeycutt’s family.
However, they split up a few weeks after the finale.
The original Instagram post has been deleted, butE!
