@KillemKellzz @Danielleriann I agree, Queen. It‘s possible they are in a full blown relationship by now. But it wasn’t that when he came on the show or when I spoke to him. so yelling in @Danielleriann face telling Dani that‘s her man and Dani isn’t safe in MN when they have 2 kids is crazy #BBWOrlando
