Memphis and Christmas began a relationship following ‘Big Brother 22’

During the second all-stars season, BB10 runner-up Memphis Garrett and BB19 finalist Christmas Abbott were allies through an alliance he created, The Committee. After the dominating group had to split up, the two remained loyal to each other.

They began using code words with each other and seemingly shared a kiss under the covers, prompting Live Feed viewers to believe they had a romantic interest in each other. However, they were both in serious relationships with other people.

A couple of months after filming wrapped, in Dec. 2020, the BB stars ended their respective flings and announced they began dating each other. After releasing an exclusive with E! News regarding their unexpected relationship, the two made it Instagram official.

Although they’ve admitted to developing feelings for each other while in the house, they have repeatedly denied kissing and cheating on their then-partners.

Fans think Memphis and Christmas broke up

Although the couple both lived in different states, Christmas’ son resides close to Memphis in Florida. Therefore, the two have continued their relationship in the Sunshine State, making their first public appearance at a charity event.

Even though they seemingly enjoyed their time there, they didn’t hang out with many other reality stars and received hate from a few BB viewers who didn’t care for the couple.

Soon after announcing their relationship, several fans thought the two might have split due to a cryptic post. Memphis uploaded a picture of a quote that read, “Eventually, all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason.”

He then tagged the BB19 finalist with a red heart emoji, and she reposted the image. Some fans thought the quote spoke to them finding each other, while others believed it symbolized an amicable break-up.

Memphis and Christmas showed love through Valentine’s Day post

On Valentine’s Day, a day after they shared the questionable quote, the couple proved they’re still going strong by expressing their appreciation for each other on social media.

Memphis posted a picture with Christmas on his arm, captioning it, “Happy Valentine’s Day to this amazing and beautiful woman. Thank you for being you,” and tagged his girlfriend.

She responded to the post, “You’re the best,” with a kissy face and red heart emoji. Big Brother stars Christie Murphy, Tommy Bracco, and Elena Davies replied to the picture as well, doting on the happy couple.

Christmas also wished her man a happy holiday with several photos of them, calling him her “maniac.” Additionally, they responded to the break-up rumor on their Instagram stories, referring to it as “fake news” and noting they had nothing for “drama seekers.”
