The kiss that sparked rumors

"Hey everyone! I've seen lots speculating about our showmance," Catrina wrote. "Just so you know, we did date post-show, but went our separate ways in June."
She explained that logistics got in their path, making long-distance tricky. Lightening things up with a bit, Catrina added, "There's no beef (since Tayris's vegetarian!). Really, train tickets are just too much!"
With her usual flair, she joked, "If you wanna send condolences, cash always helps!" adding a playful touch by signing off with both their names.
Fans react and theorize

Some couldn't resist tossing in a little conspiracy. "C'mon, just say producers cooked it up," one fan teased, wondering if it was all just a 'showmance' staged by cameras.
