BIG Brother’s Morgan Pope has insisted that she and Vince Panaro are just friends, despite how others might perceive their relationship.
Fans, and even their housemates, have doubted that the co-stars have a romantic connection, given their flirtatious behavior throughout the season.

Earlier this week, Vince defended their relationship, and Morgan did the same on the show’s 24/7 livestream while speaking with fellow competitor, Ashley Hollis.
A clip of the moment circulated on X, showing Morgan repeatedly calling Vince her “bestie” and acknowledging how their close partnership might have appeared to others around them.
“If people ask, I’m gonna be like, you know, we’re best friends,” Morgan shared to Ashley.
However, Ashley wasn’t entirely buying that the twosome didn’t have feelings for one another and predicted they would become romantically involved after the season wraps.
“I know that’s how YOU feel, but visually…I’ll just call it. I wouldn’t be surprised if in three months you guys are dating. Nobody would, I don’t think. It seems…” Ashley said.
“I don’t know. That’s my bestie,” Morgan echoed.
Ashley then theorized that Vince might feel differently about the subject than Morgan.
“He definitely looks at you a certain way,” Ashley observed.
Morgan again stressed that their relationship was platonic and that they felt close to one another because they’re “duos” in the house.
“I just feel like when you have your duo, you just love your duo so much,” Morgan explained.

To many viewers, Vince made it seem like he wanted more with Morgan, especially after he appeared to declare his love for his Big Brother co-star while cuddling in bed together earlier this week.
Pillow talk is a regular occurrence for the pair, as are their flirtatious exchanges and showing affection for one another.
However, this particular chat raised eyebrows for viewers as Vince appeared to share his true feelings for Morgan.
“I just love you so much. I hope I have you outside of this game,” the reality star expressed.
“You’re the type of person I want in my life.
“That type of friend, that type of person who actually cares that deeply about people in their lives,” Vince added.
Days later, fans were surprised by how much Vince backed his tight bond with Morgan, even after learning that his girlfriend, Kelsey, might’ve dumped him.
Kelsey didn’t appear in a video message involving his parents, leading Vince to speculate whether their relationship was in trouble.
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed earlier this month that Kelsey vowed to break up with Vince over his touchy-feely behavior with Morgan onscreen.
Kelsey and Vince have had no contact since he moved into the Big Brother house.
Vince will soon learn the truth as the Season 27 finale airs on CBS on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. EST.
