CBS Taylor Hale & Joseph Abdin are dating
Love is in the air! “Big Brother 24″ alums Taylor Hale, 27, and Joseph Abdin, 25, are officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
The lovebirds developed a “flirtmance” inside the “Big Brother” house but their time together was cut short after Joseph fell victim to the Split House twist. He was sent to jury and Taylor was left to fend for herself without her closest ally by her side.
Toward the end of the season, Taylor started a physical relationship with season 24 runner-up Monte Taylor. The two were seen getting pretty cozy on the September 13 live feeds.
Taylor’s relationship with Monte had fans worried that Joseph was now in her rearview mirror. But that turned out not to be the case. After the September 25 finale, Taylor and Joseph reconnected. The two hung out in Los Angeles and, according to E! News, even went on a cruise together.
Still, the couple was hesitant to make their relationship official. That is, until this week. On November 9, the couple confirmed they were indeed a couple in an exclusive interview with People Magazine.
