It didn’t take long for romance to become part of the conversation in the Big Brother 28 house. Just days into the game, houseguests Rome Seymour and Lyric Medeiros have fans convinced that the season’s first official showmance has already arrived.
Once the live feeds launched, viewers quickly noticed the pair spending an unusual amount of time together. What started as private conversations soon turned into affectionate moments, including Rome giving Lyric a kiss on the cheek before the two later cuddled together in one of the house’s bunk beds. As the night continued, cameras captured the pair sharing an intimate conversation about life outside the game, including whether a long-distance relationship between Florida and Hawaii could actually work. The moment reportedly ended with the two sharing a kiss, leaving fans stunned by how quickly their relationship has progressed.

Before entering the house, both contestants admitted they were open to finding love. Lyric said she wouldn’t mind a showmance as long as it didn’t hurt her chances of winning, while Rome revealed he was also willing to explore a relationship inside the house after being single for some time. Now, it appears those preseason comments have quickly become reality.

The budding romance has become one of the hottest topics among live feed viewers, with many joking that the pair moved from strangers to couple faster than almost any showmance in recent Big Brother history. Some fans have even started referring to them by the nickname “Lyme” as they continue to grow closer.
While showmances often become targets in the game, Rome and Lyric currently appear to be in a comfortable position. Neither was nominated during the first Head of Household reign, giving them more time to strengthen both their relationship and their social games. However, as every Big Brother fan knows, a visible showmance can quickly paint a target on two players’ backs, making the coming weeks especially important.
Whether their connection develops into one of the season’s most memorable romances or becomes a strategic liability remains to be seen. For now, though, Rome and Lyric have already become one of the biggest talking points of Big Brother 28, and fans will be watching closely to see what happens next.
