The Big Brother showmance between Matt Hardeman and Makensy Manbeck is still evolving. And this past week, they celebrated their first Valentine’s Day together.
Matt and Makensy spent a short time together in the Big Brother house, yet it still had a lasting impact on each of them.
After they left the Big Brother house, Makensy and Matt explored if they wanted to be more than just friends.
Their relationship went public shortly after their Big Brother exits, confirming their feelings were real.
As noted, Matt got evicted on Day 10 of Big Brother 26, forcing them to put a pin in any possible relationship.
Makensy made it to Day 90 and finished as the Big Brother 26 runner-up. She was reunited with Matt on finale night.

“You are my everything! happy valentine’s,” Makensy captioned an Instagram post.

Some fans and followers thought it was an engagement announcement because they appeared posed in the photographs.
No announcement has been made about an engagement, but their relationship is still strong.
“Now, today, and forever!!!! Love you baby 😘😘😘,” Matt commented on the joint post.

“Imma need a wallet size in erry single one of these pics STAT,” BB25 alum Reilly Smedley commented on Makensy’s post.
