When fans think of Big Brother romances or showmances, Christmas Abbott and Memphis Garrett probably won't come to mind.
And that's because Memphis and Christmas were both in relationships with other people when they competed on Big Brother: All-Stars, the show's 22nd season that wrapped in October 2020.
Christmas and Memphis finished Big Brother: All-Stars in fourth and fifth place, respectively, and both of them ultimately voted for Cody Calafiore to win the game over runner-up Enzo Palumbo.
Neither Christmas and Memphis acted on the romantic feelings he or she may have had for each other during the game, and despite heavy flirtation here or there, they wanted to convince the world they were just close friends.
But after the show, Christmas and Memphis began dating, and speculation about their relationship began to swirl when they were photographed hanging out at a Florida bar together in November 2020 and the photograph circulated online.
Memphis told Us Weekly in December 2020 that he knew around Week 6 there "was something about" Christmas that he wouldn't be able to ignore. That same month, Christmas and Memphis -- who each have a son -- went Instagram official.
"I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her a few weeks into the All Star season of Big Brother," Memphis told E! News at the time.
"Since the first time I saw her years back, I always knew she was supposed to be a part of my life, I just didn't know in what capacity. Once I spent a few weeks with her, I knew exactly."
Memphis then proposed marriage to Christmas on the beach during a romantic getaway to Little Palm Island Resort & Spa in June 2021.
"We can continue to build our relationship and grow together. We have so much fun together and we complement each other. When you find something like that, you don't ever want to let that go. She is my forever girl," Memphis told E! News at the time.
And Christmas shared, "I knew that everything that had happened in my life prepared me to meet him, so when I did, I would know he's my person without a doubt. He is my best friend and my HOME and I get to spend forever with him."
The couple got married over Memorial Day weekend on May 28, 2022 at the State Railroad Museum in Savannah, GA.
Christmas called her big day "magical" when she posted about her nuptials on Instagram, and she also wrote alongside one wedding photo, "I can't believe I got to marry my best friend. #Final2Forever."
Christmas also dubbed Memphis her "forever man," and gushed in another post that her wedding was "as perfect as [Memphis]."
Meanwhile, Memphis posted on his own Instagram account, "The world watched us meet, become best friends, fall in love and now be married!!!!! Forever has begun!... The tears were rolling!!!"
Christmas revealed that she initially wanted to get married in a local courthouse but Memphis suggested they should have a more elaborate, grand event for their nuptials.
However less than two years after they married, Memphis filed for divorce from Christmas, citing irreconcilable differences.
Sources close to the pair told TMZ that Christmas and Memphis broke up in late February 2024, shortly before Memphis filed for divorce.
