Where Are ‘Big Brother’s Morgan Pope & Vince Panaro Now? Their Relationship Today
Summer is almost here, which means that the Big Brother house will be opening again soon for another season of feuds, alliances, and (fingers crossed!) showmances. Ahead of Season 28, we’re looking back at the standout duo from Season 27: Morgan Pope and Vince Panaro.
Morgan and Vince had an incredibly strong final two alliance that allowed them to arguably run the latter half of the game, until they came in third and second place, respectively. That said, the two made a bigger splash in the franchise for their social game. More specifically, their alleged showmance, dubbed the “cheatmance.”
While a Big Brother house relationship is nothing new, Morgan and Vince’s connection came while Vince had a girlfriend of over seven years back home. While the two maintain that their Big Brother relationship was nothing more than a close friendship and alliance, viewers were convinced that there were real feelings there.
So, where are Morgan and Vince today? Are Vince and his girlfriend still together? And what really did happen between the Big Brother house doors? Scroll to find out everything we know about Big Brother stars Morgan and Vince.
What happened between Morgan and Vince on Big Brother?
Short answer: Nothing.
Long answer: So much. During Season 27, Morgan and Vince originally connected over the four-person alliance The Melting Pot, which ultimately set the groundwork for their ride-or-die final two alliance. While Vince entered the house, gushing about his girlfriend back home, Kelsey, live feed viewers began to notice Vince and Morgan growing cozier by the day, with tons of cuddling in the Head of Household room.
Speculation about their relationship rose after a Big Brother blogger pointed out that the two appeared to kiss on the September 4 live stream. While the duo has maintained that they never crossed that line, their alleged kiss drew even more attention to what began to be referred to as their “cheatmance.”

Vince’s girlfriend, Kelesy, then entered the chat by unfollowing him on social media that very same day. She later wrote on his Instagram Story, which she was managing while he was in the house, “Hi, this is Kelsey, for the record, I have not spoken with any news outlets or ‘influencers’ and I will not be doing so.”
Things took a turn when the outside speculation entered the house, with Zingbot telling Morgan, “What do you call someone who lights up when Vince enters the room, gives him long, passionate hugs, and warm, affectionate cuddles? … His girlfriend.” After that, the pair were more worried about how their dynamic would be perceived. Vince even questioned, “Am I single right now? Did Kelsey dump me?”
At the end of the season, as part of their interview with Swooon and our sister site, TV Insider, Vince and Morgan both shared that they have a “strictly platonic” friendship.
Are Vince and Kelsey still together today?
After Vince returned from the Big Brother house, he and Kelsey broke up. On October 20, 2025, Vince told his followers, “We are currently taking time to process everything individually, and you know, figure out what things look like after that.” Since then, they have been spotted a few times together, seemingly as friends.
Did Morgan and Vince ever date?
No, Morgan and Vince never dated. Despite speculation during their time in the Big Brother house that they were talking in code about getting together once they left, they never shared a public romantic relationship.

On April 25, 2026, Morgan posted on social media, confirming that they were never an item and calling that speculation “a false narrative.” She wrote, “I’ve said this before & I’ll say it again. Vince & I had a conversation before live feeds were on about how we wanted to play the game & that included the nature of his relationship & boundaries he set for playing the game. I had no reason not to believe him nor to question. So… the game went on!”
She continued, “We shouldn’t be blaming women for the way men choose to represent their relationship and boundaries. As far as I was aware, nothing we did in the BB house was disrespectful to his relationship. At the end of the day, remember we were all playing a game in the house & doing our best to navigate it with the cards we were dealt. Remember, we are all still human & BB28 is right around the corner. Let’s wrap this up!”
Where are Morgan and Vince now?
Nearly a year after entering the Big Brother house, Morgan is thriving. She continues to stream on Twitch and has 92K followers on Instagram. After becoming the Big Brother Season 27 runner-up, Vince has remained fairly private on social media, protecting his peace.
