It\u2019s a major mindf**k.\u201d<\/p>\n Batula and Wilson shared joint statements confirming their budding romance on April 2 amid a wave of social media criticism and speculation.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it,\u201d it read.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what\u2019s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected.\u201d<\/p>\n It came just three months after Batula and Cooke confirmed they were getting divorced. <\/p>\n Read related topics:TikTok<\/a>
