These Are All the Big Brother Couples Who Are Still Together—2 Showmances Got Engaged on the Show

Jeff Schroeder & Jordan Lloyd 

The OG couple of Big Brother—these two soulmates were paired together in Season 11 and dated outside the show. In a special appearance in Season 16, Jeff proposed to Jordan, and the two ended up in Big Brother history. Did we also mention that they competed and won the Amazing Race as well?

The couple has two children Layton and Lawson. Jordan works at a stay-at-home mom and is a content creator while Jeff has a job in Denver, Colorado.

“I’m a stay-at-home mom, but I also get to create content,” Jordan told Entertainment Weekly. “I do work with a lot of brands, and I love that because a lot of people don’t know that I have my cosmetology license … Everybody knows on ‘Big Brother’ I was always open and honest, and I feel like I’m the same way on my Instagram, so it’s nice for people to be able to go on there and just see an older version of me.”

Brendon Villegas & Rachel Reilly

What’s a Big Brother romance list without Brenchel? The season 12 contestants Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly are happily married and have two children: Adora and Adler.

“Brendon told us he was a swim coach and I said, I’m never going to fall for this guy,” Rachel recalled in an interview with E! News. “He’s just some swim coach.”

“Admittedly, I still remember that first night,” Brendon recalled. “Rachel was giggly and school girlish about me, but I was very skeptical. Even though I was liking her and thinking she was cool, I still was very scared to fall for someone inside this game. When we were put on the block, that’s what cemented it.”

They currently live in Alabama for Brendon’s latest medical residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Rachel is a casting director and recently starred in the US version of Traitors.

Daniele Donato & Dominic Briones 

Daniele and Dominic are still together after they starred together in Season 13. They’re married and have two children Lux and Tenessee. As if they’re having more kids, they told Us Weekly that the only additions to their family will be cats.

Daniele competed in Big Brother: All Stars in 2020 and vowed to not go on the reality show again. “I started playing this game when I was 20 years old. I’m 34 years old. I’ve been there through three completely different parts of my life. Whether I want to accept it or deny it. This game is a huge part of my life. I met my husband there. It’s a huge part of my life and I just wish I could have taken one last lap around the house and just soaked it all in. I did that many times throughout the game. I appreciate it so much. I’m so thankful. I’m so honored to have been asked. But no, I won’t ever do it again.” 

Nicole Franzel & Victor Arroyo

Though they didn’t have a showmance on set, these lovebirds started their blooming relationship after they both starred in season 18 of Big Brother. Nicole went on to win the season. They became engaged during a special appearance on season 20 in September 2018. They married in March 2021 and welcomed their first baby Arrow, in July of that year. 

Jessica Graf & Cody Nickson

Truly inseparable. After appearing in Season 19 of Big Brother, Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson became engaged after falling in love in the house. The two also won season 30 of The Amazing Race.

 The couple welcomed their first child Maverick, was born in 2019. “We actually found out while watching the finale of The Bachelorette. I wasn’t feeling well at all and decided to take a test even though I was pretty sure I wasn’t pregnant! I didn’t tell Cody I was taking a test,” Jessica told People.

They welcomed their second child together in October 2022 and third in 2023. Jessica is pregnant with their fourth child. With three kids under their belt, Cody hilariously shut down rumors that he and his wife is rejoining Big Brother by giving their kids an Uber Eats account.

Swaggy C & Bayleigh Dayton

Swaggy C and Bayleigh Dayton’s relationship shows that true love prevails even outside of the BB House. The two were only in the Big Brother house for 23 days and Swaggy C proposed in the Season 20 finale. They married a few months later, in February 2019, without a formal ceremony and kept the marriage a secret. The two welcomed a daughter in 2022.

 “To have a baby coming in GENERAL … is a blessing. But to have a baby with my favorite person in the universe? It makes it even better 🙏🏾,” Swaggy C wrote at the time on Instagram. “To Bay, I’m so blessed to have a kid with you. I love how open we are, how much we communicate, and everything we’ve been through. … HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.”

Despite connecting in the house, the two don’t plan to go back to reality TV. “I’m a multi-millionaire. I don’t need reality TV. People go on reality TV to get their first $500,000 or get their first million or get exposure. Some actually do it for the competition and the love of the game. I don’t love the game,” he shared in the video. “I’ve never watched The Challenge before I got on. … I don’t know who these people are.”

Derek Xiao & Claire Rehfuss

A couple in the making, Claire Rehfuss and Derek Xiao are BB’s latest couple to thrive outside of the house. “I think that we both really felt the chemistry once we got to jury house and could really connect with each other,” Claire told Us Weekly. “We would stay up late talking every single night and we just really developed a bond.”

Derek recalled, “I remember the first or second night that she was there, we stayed up all night just talking until 5:00 a.m. That happened every single night for the first, like, five days. That’s when I started really thinking like, ‘Wait a second, why didn’t this happen in the house? There’s such a strong connection and chemistry between us.’ I think that was the beginning of us thinking about what this could be.”

The two competed on The Amazing Race season 34 together.
