Faysal, who's from Orlando, FL, and Haleigh, who currently resides in Houston TX, revealed their relationship is going strong and they will be moving to the same town together soon.
"We want to just find a spot and build. Not a house, but build ourselves," Haleigh told E! News. "We just want to enjoy life."

Up until this point, Haleigh and Faysal have had a system for maintaining their romance despite living in different states.
"What we've been doing is every few weeks, we book a flight so we know that no matter what, we're going to see the other in let's just say two weeks," Haleigh shared.
"Because I think giving yourself that time frame and knowing that you're going to see them no matter what—that actually makes it better. You have something to look forward to."
When the couple do spend time together in the same city, they apparently make sure it's quality time, which means not going out and instead ordering takeout watching Netflix.
"We'll wake up, go to the gym and then get some good food and then you go to the pool or just try to relax because we never expected all this exposure," Faysal said.

"It feels so intense and everybody has an opinion of you and this and that so we just like to chill out at home."

But that doesn't mean the pair haven't traveled together. They've touched down in spots such as Mexico, Hawaii, Ontario and more.
They'd also both be up for a stint on Survivor or The Amazing Race together, according to E! News.
"It would be an entertaining season watching us argue at the airport," Faysal joked.

"I don't know if we'd get very far," Haleigh said, adding that they've remained friends with other cast members from their season, including fellow Big Brother couple Tyler Crispen and Angela Rummans.
"It's honestly so enjoyable and so fun to see people out of the house."
Haleigh was a 21-year-old college student and Faysal was a 26-year-old substitute teacher when they met on Big Brother and developed a sweet and innocent crush on each other in the house.
Haleigh and Faysal were in an alliance throughout the whole Big Brother game as members of the original "FOUTTE" alliance.
Haleigh was considered the brains of the operation, while Faysal was dubbed "the brawn" of their partnership.

Although Haleigh wanted to keep her showmance under wraps because of her focus on the Season 20 game, she and Faysal failed to keep their feelings for one another a secret, and so they became a target for being a dangerous power couple.
Big Brother's houseguests therefore evicted Faysal in a 4-1 vote over Haleigh during an August 30, 2018 episode of Season 20 on CBS.
Haleigh was then evicted from Big Brother two weeks later during a live double-eviction broadcast on September 13.
But both individuals had every intention of pursuing a relationship once outside of the house -- and they did just that.
Haleigh and Faysal picked up where they left off and began documenting their romance in the real world on social media, sharing photos and expressing how they missed each other given the distance between them.
