The Couple Became Besties Before Taking "That Leap"

"People don't understand that we've been talking nonstop for two years," Abrams said. He continued by explaining that they've been hanging out nearly every day since filming ended and have become "really good friends." "The problem with dating your best friend is that when you break up, you lose your best friend," he said. "It was tough to take that leap." The friends eventually decided to take that leap and venture into a romantic relationship. According to Abrams, they may have taken a bit longer to "define the relationship" if it wasn't for the three-episode reunion. "It would've taken a lot longer. I'm not one to rush into a relationship," he explained. "This was the right opportunity."

Abrams said that he and Vempati are just really compatible. "She is one of the funniest people I know. Just talking to her is so much fun," he explained. "She has so much insight. That's ultimately what I think dating and life is about: How you get along. And I get along with her so well. She's somebody I want to be with all the time."

The couple have posted pics and videos of each other throughout their friendship making people wonder if they were a couple for a while. Abrams recently posted a teaser video on Instagram to get people hyped about the reunion special captioned, "Today should be interesting?."
