Who Is Vince's Girlfriend on Big Brother?
Vince’s girlfriend is Kelsey. He’s been with her for seven years, even if Big Brother live feeds don’t usually fawn over her the way some of us do over showmances. While Kelsey mostly keeps her life private, here’s what fans know: she and Vince live together (with Vince’s parents!) in southern Los Angeles, California.
And yes, she’s the one running Vince’s Instagram account while he’s locked away somewhere in TV land, occasionally popping up on his Stories to declare, “I miss him so much and look forward to seeing more of his shenanigans as the season progresses. Vinny’s girlfriend .” Imagine your boyfriend spouting off about you all season, while you’re home fielding rumors and recycling memes, Kelsey seems to be keeping it all surprisingly cool.
Who Is Vince in Big Brother?
Vince Panaro is the kind of Big Brother contestant who brings both swagger and softness, in other words, a guy who brags about his seven-year relationship, then melts for gamer banter and tender hugs in front of the cameras. He’s got that thick mustache, a low-key love for baseball (hello Dodgers postseason posts), and, apparently, a knack for finding himself tangled in housemate drama.
Vince and Morgan Pope, his Big Brother “bestie” (or more?), have become the center of late-night speculation, hours-long hugs, and fandom debates that probably make Kelsey want to hurl her phone across the room. Did he know this would happen? Probably not. But it’s pure Big Brother gold for anyone glued to the feeds.
Vince and Kelsey: Relationship Timeline
Let’s get a little nostalgic! Vince and Kelsey have been together since July 2018. In classic modern-couple fashion, Vince’s first big Instagram shoutout came a few months later, on October 4, 2018, with a grin-and-baseball selfie captioned, “Grateful every day. Extra grateful today because the Dodgers postseason just started. But still grateful every day.” That’s Vince: one eye on his team, one arm around Kelsey.

Are Vince and Kelsey Still Together?
Yes, as of now, Vince and Kelsey are still together. Despite the flood of fan theories, “cheatmance” accusations, and that rumored 3:00 a.m. kiss between Vince and Morgan, Kelsey has made it clear (with the calm of someone who’s had to repeat herself too many times) that she hasn’t spoken to any news outlets, hasn’t given Vince “permission to flirt for the game,” and has not responded to wild influencer requests. She even added: “Hi, this is Kelsey, for the record, I have not spoken with any news outlets or ‘influencers’ and I will not be doing so.”
People keep speculating that Vince’s extended stay in the BB house and his flirty late-night chats with Morgan are going to lead to a legendary “awkward conversation” once he’s home. Honestly, anyone who’s watched Big Brother knows even the most loyal couple sometimes gets tested by bored nights, whispered strategy chats, and surprise cuddles. But, as of this episode? Kelsey’s still holding down the fort.
