It Looks Like Cory and America's 'Big Brother' Showmance Is The Real Deal

The Gist:

• Cory Wurtenberger and America Lopez are houseguests on Season 25 of Big Brother.
• The two bonded over their mutual love of Big Brother and have become a fan-favorite duo.
• They previously referred to their relationship as a "faux-mance," but it turned into an actual showmance.

Since the start of Big Brother 25, houseguests Cory Wurtenberger and America Lopez have seemingly been attached at the hip. The two instantly bonded over their love for the reality show and developed quite a strong connection that others believed early on to be a budding showmance. At more than halfway through the season, they prove that they're sticking together and it could be a romance that evolves outside of the house too.

Although they at first called it a "faux-mance," Cory and America have formed a real showmance. The duo sometimes downplays their connection to others, but it's obvious an actual spark formed between them.

America even told former houseguest Izzy Gleicher that she was starting to develop real feelings for Cory. However, Cory previously mentioned that their age gap is an issue — he's 22, while America is 27. Nevertheless, it doesn't seem to be that big a problem since Cory flirts and cuddles with America any chance he gets.

The pair often hang out and cuddle at night, joking around with each other. Cory once joked that he would tell the rest of the house that he and America went "all the way" and "sealed the deal."

And even though showmances are notoriously targeted by other houseguests, their bond seems to make them stronger competitors.

During the early hours of Sept. 7, some fans caught the two getting quite close on the live feeds. They now sleep in the same bed every night, but this time around, they were seen rustling under the blanket together.

Wait, does this mean Cory and America hooked up? Later, on the feeds and then in an episode of the show, Cory and America are caught showering together. We'd say things are pretty legit right now, so let's hope we don't see a nasty breakup while they're still in the Big Brother house.

When Zingbot shows up in the Oct. 10 episode of Big Brother, he does his usual roasting of the houseguests. And he targets Cory and America a little more, likely because of their relationship status. One of the things he says is that America is a "cradle robber."

In actuality, Cory and America only have a five year age gap (give or take a few months), with America being 27 in the house and Cory turning 22 during the season. Still, it's something they get ripped for thanks to Zingbot. However, something tells us it won't stop the two from canoodling under the covers any time soon.
