“Looks like they have broken up, they’ve both deleted the videos they made together,” one fan claimed on Reddit.

At the time of publication, they don’t feature on each other’s Instagram grids, apart from one group video with their fellow finalists at Dreamworld.

Bruce had previously shared a sweet video on social media from when Coco visited him after leaving the house, but the content can no longer be found.

Are Big Brother’s Coco and Bruce still together?

Big Brother fans were left questioning whether Coco and Bruce were still together when he was spotted hanging out with their housemate, Holly.

Holly memorably had a relationship with Colin, 21, in the house, and butted heads with Coco, with the model having some choice words for her former friend upon her exit from the house.

Holly memorably branded Coco as “fake” in her exit message, and the two women struggled to see eye-to-eye on the show.

So, fans were very surprised to see Coco’s flame Bruce forming a friendship with Holly, after they were spotted outside the cast’s Gold Coast hotel together following the final.

After the final, Holly also took to TikTok to share a video of herself showing Bruce driving her and Colin home, while Coco was nowhere to be seen during the outing.

In the clip, Holly sat in the passenger seat while Bruce drove, and they were joined by her love interest Colin, who sat in the back.

Holly and Colin appear to still be going strong outside the Big Brother house, having last posted with each other on TikTok in December.

What have Coco and Bruce said about their relationship?

Speaking exclusively to New Idea after the final, Coco made a telling comment about her and Bruce’s future as she remained coy about whether they would date in the real world.

In fact, she actually revealed that she was open to joining another reality TV show, specifically The Bachelorette, in what could have been seen as a telling comment about her and Bruce’s status, given it’s a dating show.

“I never say never, so if [TV] opportunities arise and they align with me, then maybe I might do something, but right now, I just want to lap up this moment and get back to a bit of normality at home with my kids,” she said.

When asked what show she’d like to appear on, Coco tellingly added, “Who knows, maybe become The Bachelorette. I could give out a few roses, and a few thorns here and there!”

The single mother-of-three, 30, also admitted she was prioritising time with her family, though she did manage to go and visit him in December.

“I’m going to go home and spend the next three weeks with my kids, and maybe during New Year’s, I might pop up and see him, but there’s no plans yet,” she shared.

“[Me and Bruce] was a very slow burn. I tried my best not to entertain it, but it got the better of me,” she said of their time in the house.

“I’m really glad I gave it another chance because, towards the end of the show, Bruce started to show his true colours and some really endearing sides to him. I’m really looking forward to getting to know him a bit more on the outside without the audience and the microphone.”

Bruce also remained non-committal when asked about Coco after the final, though he did tell New Idea that he hoped she would be able to meet his parents.

“I still think she’s a great girl, and tonight will be the first time we’ll be able to hang out without cameras and microphones, so we’ll probably have a chat then, and I’ll have a better answer for you, but right now, I’m just keen to see her,” he teased.

However, he did reveal that his parents were very excited about the prospect of meeting her and supported their union.

“Mum loved it, she’s an absolute darling and is so welcoming. I think they are very keen to meet her; they didn’t get a chance last night because Coco was so busy, but they hopefully will today,” he added.

What happened between Coco and Bruce in the Big Brother house?

Coco and Bruce’s romance came after their housemates Holly, 31, and Colin, 21, already raised eyebrows with their connection.

Though they initially appeared to butt heads in the house, an attraction has been forming between them, and things then heated up on Tuesday, November 18.

After days of cuddling and having flirty chats, they finally admitted their attraction for one another, with Coco proposing a “friends with benefits” set-up.

“When you first got here, I was so intimidated by you, I was like I don’t think the guy in the blue shirt likes me,” Coco told Bruce.

“Straight up coming in, I was like ‘oh yeah, she’s attractive’, so I was like ‘nah’. That was not the aim coming in, obviously, I’m not against it,” Bruce said.

Bruce revealed he promised his mother he wouldn’t date anyone in the house, and said he has been taking a break from dating after being in a string of relationships.

“I don’t want to get feelings involved,” Coco said.

To which Bruce replied, “Let’s keep it that way.”

“Have you done that before? Had like ‘friends with benefits’ without feelings as an adult?” Coco asked him.

“I’ve literally been in relationships pretty much my entire life; that’s why I’ve taken the six months off,” Bruce added.

Despite first vowing that they wouldn’t kiss or get serious in the house, they had shared a fair few public displays of affection by the end of the show.

Reflecting on their bond during the live final, Bruce told host Mel Tracina, “The whole time I was kind of fighting it, but slowly but surely we crept our way together, and by the end, while you’ve seen it all.”

Bruce first made waves in the house and was even accused of being “sexist” by some viewers after sharing his traditional opinions on gender roles.

However, speaking to New Idea, he admitted he was pleased to have had the chance to grow and learn from his housemates.

“I don’t want to say sheltered, but I definitely lived a certain life, and I wasn’t exposed to those opinions, and it has widened my perspective a bit,” he confessed.

“I’ve got to get a bit more cultured before I weigh in on some things, but nobody is perfect, and you live, and you learn.”
