Taylor Hale Has Bagged Another Major Win From 'Big Brother 24'

Taylor Hale is celebrating another "Big Brother" related win!

Since she won the show's $750,000 grand prize and an extra $50,000 for being 'America's Favorite Houseguest,' Hale has lived a life different from the one she was used to. And now, in addition to enjoying that windfall, the ex-pageant titleholder has also bagged a man from the same show — Joseph Abdin.

Abdin and Hale became fans' favorite couple after the latter spent several weeks navigating relationships and rivalries to come out on top. The 24th season winner confirmed that she and the former "Big Brother" cast member had taken their relationship to the next level. Admitting that their connection became more evident when they locked lips, Hale said: 

"My connection with Joseph has been undeniable, and I knew from the moment he kissed me on finale night that we'd find a way to be together. His heart is bigger than the galaxy, and now we have the privilege of sharing our hearts with each other. I love him so much - I'm the happiest I've ever been."

Abdin, who joined his 27-year-old lover for the media chat, added, "From the moment I saw Taylor, I knew she was something special. Our spark started within the show, and we decided to wait until after the game."

He noted that their bond had grown more profound, which "confirmed what we already knew." Even though their relationship "has been a rollercoaster of an experience," the 25-year-old did not "want to share it with anyone else" as his girlfriend "is a remarkable woman" that he was "so grateful" to call his. 

Just like Abdin, who revealed that he "won so much more" from the competition series, fans are glad that the pair finally made things official. Reacting to the news, one Twitter user wrote, "Hottest couple to ever come from BB. I said what I said."

Another avid fan tweeted, "walked away with 800k, a cruise, and a man. i know that's right," and a third echoed the same sentiment, writing, "The largest check, A cruise, And an amazing man...who is doing it like Taylor Hale."

A fourth viewer reacted, "the scream I let out I loved them, omg," and a fifth joked, "awww we done lost another sista. nah I'm just kidding love is love I'm just saying what blk folks say all time about interracial relationships."

A sixth fan gushed, "So happy for #Jaylor, truly. Best couple to come out of Big Brother," while another commenter yelled, "THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR."

When Hale won the 24th season of "Big Brother," the trajectory of the American reality television show was changed as she became the first Black woman ever to wear that crown.

The Blast shared that the 2021 Miss Congeniality disclosed the reason for her resilience in the house despite the challenges. During her time on the show, Hale had dealt with accusations of using someone's mental health. She had also gotten cussed out by fellow houseguests.

Despite that, the television personality managed to be herself, choosing to remain kind even after finding out about a supposed supporter's plans to make an all-white alliance. Speaking on her experience, the 2021 Miss Michigan stated: 

"It's funny. You can do all the media training in the world, you can do all the interview prep in the world, but you're still a human behind everything that you experience."

She added, "I'm used to criticism. I'm used to letting things roll off my back. And I won't say that I'm glad that I experienced that before, but it did come in handy in the house." 

The personal stylist eventually realized it was not her responsibility to "coddle somebody else's hatred, choosing to focus on being accountable, finding a "common ground," and apologizing if her actions had hurt someone else. 

Hale has been building her backbone since she became the second African-American woman to wear the Miss Michigan crown in 15 years. The George Washington University alum had begun receiving racist remarks like "Miss Michigan USA should not be Black," and "Miss Michigan USA should give up her crown for the first runner-up," —a blonde white female, soon after that win.
