The Big Brother 26 showmance between Makensy Manbeck and Matt Hardeman is still strong.
Big Brother fans met Makensy and Matt during the Summer 2024 season.
A quick friendship blossomed between Matt and Makensy, but it was cut short when he got evicted on Day 10.
Matt drew the ire of Angela Murray, the first Head of Household on BB26, and she worked to send him home early.
While Makensy was sad that Matt had been evicted, he would continue to express his feelings for her on social media from home.
A romantic relationship between Makensy and Matt didn’t begin until after the season. That’s when they tried things out and later became social media official.
Regarding the final results from BB26, Makensy finished as the runner-up to the winner, Chelsie Baham. Cam Sullivan-Brown, the third part of their strong alliance, finished in third place.
