“Big Brother” season 27 runner-up Vince Panaro posted a YouTube video Monday morning, in which he apologized for his “disrespectful” actions towards his then-girlfriend, Kelsey. Vince had entered the “Big Brother” house in a long-term relationship, yet quickly developed a connection with fellow-player Morgan Pope.
Their relationship never crossed any physical boundaries, save for hugging, but other houseguests questioned if there was something to Morgan and Vince’s relationship beyond on the game. Now, in a ten minute YouTube video, Vince has given his side of the story and apologized for the way he acted inside the “Big Brother” house.
Vince’s YouTube Apology
Approximately halfway through the video, Vince acknowledged that given the “pressure-cooker” nature of the “Big Brother” house, “lines started to blur.” From there, Vince “felt like any level of affection was normal.” That led to the tight hugs and arm caressing between him and Morgan.
Of course, with hindsight, Vince recognizes why people would question his actions. “And some people will say, ‘How could you be that stupid? How could you not see it?’ And to that, I could only say, well, you’d be surprised. I can be that stupid, I guess. I don’t know,” the “Big Brother” runner-up said.
Now, Vince sees how his relationship with Morgan could be “disrespectful to having a girlfriend.” He took full responsibility, saying, “I’m sorry for that,” adding, “That’s on me, 100,000% that is on me because I’m the one who set the boundaries. I was the one in the relationship. I was the one who said ‘this is normal.'”
Where Vince & Kelsey’s Relationship Stands Now
CBSRumors have swirled ever since Vince left the “Big Brother” house regarding whether or not he and Kelsey are still together today. Paparazzi photos showed Vince and Kelsey reunited after his time on the show, but we now know they didn’t fully reconcile.
On October 15, 2025, Vince deleted all of his Instagram photos that featured Kelsey, indicating the two were no longer in a relationship. In his YouTube video, he finally answered the question everyone was asking.
According to Vince, he and Kelsey “have talked everything out,” and after those conversations, the two have decided to take time apart. Vince said, “We’re currently taking time to process everything individually and … figure out what things look like after that.” The California man went on to express respect for Kelsey and how she’s handled their relationship, leaving the door open for them to get back together in the future.
Who cares. Seriously, the one person who owes apologies from this season is Ava. She should have been gone after her disrespectful, outrageous, narcissistic blow up at Keanu when he won that comp. She pissed me off so much I wanted to reach thru my TV and choke her.
