In the summer of 2018, Haleigh Broucher and Faysal, or Fessy Shafaat met while competing on Big Brother 20. The two pursued their romantic relationship more in the jury house and continued dating after the show.
Although the couple visited each other during the holidays and went on several vacations together, they had a long-distance relationship as he lived in Florida and she finished school in Texas.
Two years after they started dating, in July 2020, Haleigh announced she and Fessy amicably parted ways on her Instagram Story and Twitter.
She explained the two tried to make it work but “the distance, the different backgrounds, and the constant pressures online” ultimately broke them up. Fessy has yet to comment on the split.
Tori Deal and Fessy allegedly began romantically seeing each other
A month after the breakup announcement, Fessy flew out to Iceland to film The Challenge 36: Double Agents. He noted he shared a “genuine connection” with co-star Tori Deal during the season and admitted he found her attractive.
However, she claims nothing romantic happened between the two while they were in the house as she had a fiance, multi-champ Jordan Wiseley, at the time.
A few weeks after filming wrapped, Tori and Jordan announced they ended their engagement. Shortly later, many fans claimed she and Fessy vacationed together in Turks and Caicos as they thought they heard her in the background of his Instagram Live and someone shared pictures of them at a bar together.
The two have not addressed the current status of their relationship or the rumored vacation yet.
