‘Big Brother’: Ashley Hollis Teases Her Own Mystery Man After Season 27 Drama
Throughout Season 27 of Big Brother, Morgan Pope and Vince Panaro‘s alleged “cheatmance” was the talk of the house. Now that the season is over, winner Ashley Hollis is ready to give her own romantic update, admitting that she has gotten close to at least one Big Brother alum.
On Kaitlyn Bristowe‘s Off the Vine podcast, Ashley revealed that she has yet to watch back Big Brother Season 27, but she knows from fans that Morgan and Vince’s relationship drama ate up most of the screen time during the latter half of the season, seeing as they got close on camera while he had a girlfriend back home. Kaitlyn even admitted to taking back a joke about manifesting Vince’s eviction when she watched Vince say that she was his favorite bachelorette on the live feeds.
From addressing both Morgan and Vince’s “cheatmance” and Rylie Jeffries and Katherine Woodman’s controversial relationship to breaking her silence on her own love life, Ashley did not disappoint in spilling all of the Big Brother Season 26 tea we’ve been waiting for. Scroll to find out everything we learned.
Is Ashley Hollis dating a Big Brother alum?
On Off the Vine, Ashley revealed that a few Big Brother alums have slid into her DMs since she won Season 27. When Kaitlyn asked, “Were you interested in any of them?” Ashley teased, “I did hang out with someone from a previous season.” While Ashley described their meet-up as “just like a chill thing” instead of a date, she revealed, “We hung out for like five hours, he came to my hotel, and we talked in the lobby after the bar closed.”
Of course, Kaitlyn was dying to know who Ashley’s mystery man. She asked, “Can you say who?” While Ashley was willing to share with the Are You My First? host, she asked to bleep out who it is. Unfortunately, we got no further indication of who it is other than Kaitlyn responding, “He’s so cute,” and Ashley adding, “Yeah, he is cute.”

Who is Ashley’s Big Brother mystery man?
While Ashley didn’t spill the beans on which former Big Brother slid into her DMs and then met up with her IRL, we’ve rounded up a few of the most likely suspects. Based on her Instagram followers, it looks like the single Big Brother guys who could have gone out with Ashley are Quinn Martin (Season 26), Cedric Hodges (Season 26), Joseph Abdin (Season 25), Kyland Young (Season 23), and Tucker Des Lauriers (Season 26).
Of course, Kyland and Tucker are both in relationships on the current season of The Amazing Race, with Taylor Hale and Rubina Bernabe, respectively. However, since then, both Big-Brother-turned-Amazing-Race couples have split, making them both possibilities. Joseph, who is also on The Amazing Race, would have an instant bond with Ashley due to their shared background as lawyers. Hopefully, he would prove to be more of an Emmett Richmond than a Warner Huntington III to her Elle Woods.
That being said, with no further evidence than Kaitlyn’s delighted reaction, we’re convinced that the mystery man in question is Quinn. But truly, it is just a guess, so take that theory with a grain of salt, Big Brother fans. We’ll be on the lookout for more post-game love life updates from Ashley and the rest of this season’s cast!

What did Ashley say about Morgan and Vince?
During the podcast, Ashley and Kaitlyn both stated that they respect that Morgan and Vince swear that their relationship was 100% platonic, but at the same time, they agreed that they were “crossing boundaries” with their “serious affection, rubbing, touching, kissing on the forehead, sleeping in the same bed, the cuddling…” They made it clear, from both of their perspectives, that if a guy is in a relationship, they would “not touch him with a ten-foot pole.”
In an exclusive interview with Swooon, Ashley explained, “They both said that they were just friends, and I have to respect that because Morgan is literally one of my best friends. Like, that girl will be at my wedding. We are extremely close. I love her dearly, so I have to back what she said. They’re very, very close, but I’ll respect that she says that they’re just friends, and I’ll admit that.”
Did Ashley give an update on Rylie and Katherine?
Beyond her own love life update, Ashley confirmed that Rylie and Katherine are still going strong, despite how others may feel about their connection. Ashley told Kaitlyn, “No, she, like, loves that man. Her family hates him, though… I saw them at Buffalo Wild Wings, like two days ago in LA. They’re like super — they love each other.” She continued, “I asked [Katherine] if she was okay, for America. She said she’s fine.”
