Your favorite Lay’s eating Big Brother winner is back!
Taylor Hale recently competed on Big Brother Season 24, where she took home the $750,000 grand prize after a record-breaking six times on the block. During her season, Taylor also took home $50,000 for winning America’s Favorite Houseguest, making her not only the first African American woman to win Big Brother, but the first champion to win America’s vote as well.
CBS announced on July 22 that the 30-year-old and Season 14 winner, Derrick Levasseur, would be cohosting their new Season 27 companion program, Big Brother: Unlocked. In their official announcement, CBS shared, “Taylor and Derrick will guide viewers through never-before-seen broadcast footage, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments from inside the Big Brother house.” The network also teased that the behind-the-scenes show will “feature recurring segments like ‘BB Fantasy Draft,’ ‘Big Move/Bad Move, ‘ and ‘Binge Worthy or Cringe Worthy.’”
During her time in the Big Brother house, Taylor was on our Showmance Watch with one houseguest, and after her win, she was connected to someone from another season. Below, we’re breaking down Taylor Hale’s relationship with both Joseph Abdin and Kyland Young. Plus, we’re answering the question everyone has been asking: Does Taylor Hale have a boyfriend today?
Does Taylor Hale have a boyfriend?
Hale is currently single. According to her Instagram, it appears that the star has not been officially linked to anyone since 2023. However, that does not mean the Big Brother star has not faced many romance rumors since her time as a houseguest.
Did Taylor Hale date Kyland Young?
Hale has also been romantically linked to Big Brother Season 23 and The Challenge star Kyland Young. While the Big Brother stars are close friends, they maintain that the romance rumors surrounding their relationship are just that… rumors.
In August 2023, Taylor went on a podcast called The Exclusive w/ Sharon Tharp, where she shared that she had been on a single (unwitting) date with Kyland. She said, “He’s always been a really, really great friend to me, and that’s kind of where it is now.”

Did Taylor Hale date Joseph Abdin?
Hale and her fellow Big Brother Season 24 houseguest Joseph Abdin dated for five months after leaving the Big Brother house back in 2022. Following the Season 24 finale, Taylor and Joseph reunited and started officially dating in November.
However, by April 2023, the houseguests had amicably split. Following their breakup, Taylor told her Instagram followers, “Joseph and I will continue to support each other enthusiastically, we encourage you to do the same, as you always have.” At the same time, Joseph shared, “Ain’t no love lost over here! We will always be part of each other’s lives. Whether platonic or romantic, we are, and always will be, Jaylor.”
