The Challenge star Jessica Brody has revealed that she is currently living with her co-star, and Abbie Chatfield’s ex, Konrad Bien-Stephen.

Jessica and Konrad have somewhat of a tangled history. Both reality stars competed on separate seasons of The Bachelor, and both appeared on this year’s season of The Challenge. While Jessica was eliminated in last night’s episode of The Challenge, Konrad remains on the reality TV show.

Despite their interlinking pasts, Jessica told Yahoo Lifestyle that the two reality stars didn’t really get along on The Challenge. However, they have since made amends and moved in together.

“We didn’t really get along in the house but we’ve become really good friends since filming,” she explained.

Interestingly, Jessica was formerly close friends with Abbie Chatfield – who she starred with on The Bachelor in Paradise and who used to date Konrad. Jessica went as far as to get Abbie’s name and SMS voting code tattooed onto her when she competed on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Outta Here. However, Jessica told the publication that her friendship with Abbie has since waned.

“That friendship is still there, I still have a lot of love for Abbie, but we’re just not as close as we used to be,” she said. “We just sort of drifted apart when she got together with Konrad, which was about a year ago.

“The only reason I’m living with Konrad is because my living situation just got a bit tricky, and he has really, really helped me out. He’s been a really amazing friend. He goes on dates and stuff and I gas him up and tell him he looks great. It’s a completely platonic relationship and there’s absolutely nothing romantic there.”
