The CBS competition show “Big Brother” is filled with intense challenges, secret alliances, and, of course, plenty of romance.

Season 21 of the show is set to premiere next month and it could lead to even more showmances that possibly become something more. In cases like these, these romances have continued outside of the house, even when the cameras have stopped rolling.

Here are the couples from “Big Brother” who are still together.

Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder met in 2009 while filming season 11 of “Big Brother.” They were one of the first “Big Brother” couples to get together inside of the house and stay together outside of the house.

While paying a visit to the "Big Brother" houseguests during season 16, Schroeder proposed to Lloyd.

The pair got married in 2016, and now have two children.

Reilly and Villegas, otherwise known as #Brenchel, formed an alliance during season 12 of "Big Brother." The power couple was eventually evicted from the game but their whirlwind romance proved strong enough to exist outside of the house.

Reilly and Villegas were the first "Big Brother" showmance to get married. Villegas proposed on Valentine's Day in 2012, and their ceremony took place on Sept. 18, 2012, on the roof of the At&T Center in Los Angeles.

The couple has a daughter named Adora.

"Big Brother" season eight alum Daniele Donato met Dominic Briones on the set of season 13.

The finale of season 13 aired in September of 2011 and the couple was married in January of 2013. This past August, they celebrated the birth of their daughter, Tennessee Autumn Briones.

Nicole Franzel won "Big Brother" season 18, breaking a five-year male competitor winning streak, and becoming the first woman to ever win "Big Brother" against a man in the final two.

Although during season 18, Franzel was in a showmance with Corey Brooks, she formed a connection outside of the house with a different houseguest from that season- Victor Arroyo.

Franzel and Arroyo started dating after wrapping up season 18. During season 20, Arroyo proposed to Franzel on a special episode of "Big Brother."

The couple celebrated their engagement with the season's final seven, as well as a few special guests including BB alums Josh Martinez, Derrick Levasseur, Britney Haynes, Paul Abrahamian, and Daniele Donato.

The pair recently competed together on "The Amazing Race."

Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson's showmance escalated quickly during season 19. During their season, they struggled to stay in the house - Nickson didn't get along with the majority of the house and it placed a target on both of their backs.

Still, the couple became inseparable from day one, and even though their fellow houseguests made sure Graf and Nickson wouldn't be spending the summer cozied up in the jury house together, the couple reunited on finale night and have been together since.

Although they both lost "Big Brother," they later won season 30 of "The Amazing Race" together.

Nickson and Graf tied the knot on October 14. The reception was catered by Texas Roadhouse and the ceremony was officiated by the casting director, who they say brought them together.

The couple's daughter, Maverick, was born earlier this year.

Bayleigh Dayton and Swaggy C were the first official showmance of season 20. They were in the house together for 23 days.

Dayton was apparently heard on the live feed discussing a possible pregnancy, but nothing was confirmed during the show's network airing. Later, the couple confirmed in a YouTube video that Dayton became pregnant during the show and had miscarried during her time in the jury house.

After his eviction and while Dayton was still competing in the BB house, Swaggy C took it upon himself to get better acquainted with Dayton's family, who he says have accepted him with open arms.

In September 2018, Swaggy asked Dayton to marry him during finale night and she said yes.

They may have gotten quietly married earlier this year - in April, Soap Dirt published what appears to be the pair's marriage certificate.


Haleigh Broucher and Faysal Shafaat from season 20 are making it work long-distance.

Faysal "Fessy" Shafatt was crushing on Haleigh Broucher from day one in the Big Brother house. The two were flirty throughout the summer, but Broucher made it very clear that she came into this game to win $500,000, not get involved in a showmance.

Regardless, their showmance continued to grow on-air. On finale night, Shafatt told host Julie Chen that the relationship was, in fact, "the real deal."

In an interview with "Celebrity Big Brother" alumni Ross Mathews and Marissa Jaret Winokur, the couple said they are taking things slowly.


Tyler Crispen and Angela Rummans from season 20 are living together.

Tyler Crispen may have come in second place for the grand prize on finale night, but he did win the title of America's Favorite Player, and the heart of fellow houseguest and fitness model Angela Rummans.

Unlike the other two showmances in their season, Crispen and Rummans weren't blatantly a showmance until the end of the season when their feelings for each other quickly intensified, and they shared their first "I love you" on camera.

Crispen opened up about his showmance on finale night during his speech to the jury and, as of October 2018, he has since moved into Rummans' place in Los Angeles.
