Kimball also responded to the report with People. He said Cooper was nervous when someone posted on Twitter that someone from the show was going to get roasted and he tried to calm her. When he saw the screenshots he didn’t totally deny that it could be from his fiancée.
“I know my Jenna, and I read those texts and in my heart, I know it’s her,” he said according to People. “She was saying she didn’t do it, but hinting towards the fact that there’s a possibility that it happened. In all reality, I don’t expect her to own it.”
4. Kimball said they didn’t have a TV romance
Although the texts call their relationship fake, Kimball said it was very real. “This was not a TV romance,” he told People. “This was real. And whether you like me or not, I deserve love. I found it, and this is what happened.”
5. He has announced that their relationship is over
A day after Kimball and Cooper reacted to the report, he announced on Instagram that they were done. He wrote, “I deal with unreasonable circumstances reasonably and have come to terms with a decision to remove myself from the relationship, it breaks my heart to think, feel and fall for this.”
6. He also said he can’t wait to see if the cheating scandal is fake
Kimball said there could be a chance that Cooper didn’t cheat at all but he can’t wait to find out. “I just can’t wait and hold on to see if this is fake,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I allowed myself to be played, but I will not allow myself to be fooled by this.
