'Big Brother' is without a doubt one of the most-watched competitive reality shows in television history! After debuting back in 2000, CBS recently aired their 22nd season with none other than 'Big Brother All-Stars'. Big Brother 23 will begin in the summer of 2021, and viewers will be able to stream every episode on Paramount+.

Fans were excited for a number of returning houseguests last season, including Janelle Pierzina, Kaysa Ridha and of course, Nicole Franzel!

This marks Nicole's third time at the game, after having appeared on 'Big Brother' season 16 & 18. During her time on season 18, Nicole got quite close to fellow houseguest, Corey Brooks. The duo were an item in the house and dated briefly after the finale before calling it quits. Their break up was very sudden and left fans rather confused, that is until now! Here's what really happened between Nicole and Corey.

Luckily for Nicole, her second go at the competition would lead her to yet another romance.

During her time on 'Big Brother 18', Nicole and contestant, Corey Brooks hit it off really well! Fans adored the two together and rightfully so. They became an item during the competition and fans were more than happy over how much Corey respected Nicole as both a player and a person. Although they were a match made in heaven, things took a turn for the couple after wrapping up the season. Once the finale had aired, Nicole visited Corey in Dallas, Texas over the holidays, but left suddenly, ending their relationship for good.

While Nicole feared that long-distance would crush her relationship with Corey, it seems as if he managed to do that all on his own. Nicole nor Corey have come out with the real reason behind their split, however Nicole deleted Corey off of social media after he had posted a photo with conservative commentator, Tomi Lahren. Fans believe Nicole fell in love with a version of Corey on 'Big Brother', but soon realized who he really was outside of the house, and wanted nothing to do with him.

Luckily, Nicole found love yet again! During season 18, houseguest Victor Arroyo and Nicole were simply friends, however they quickly got together after she split from Corey, shocking fans. Although the two are great together, fans had no idea either of them fancied one another. Victor later proposed to Nicole on 'Big Brother 20', and a wedding is on its way!
