Reilly Smedley and Matt Klotz had a little crush on each other while living in the Big Brother house and filming Season 25.
Reilly went from being the first Head of Household of Big Brother's 25th season to being voted out at the second live eviction of the season, and Matt was shown crying over Reilly's departure.
"I can definitely say that I had some feelings for her," Matt confirmed, before earlier footage showed the swimmer telling Reilly that he found her "really attractive" and loved being around her.
"I would've liked to have longer in this house [with her] to see where [our relationship] would actually end up."
In August 2023, Reilly addressed her budding showmance with Matt in an interview with Us Weekly.
"I think the world of Matt, he is so wonderful. I went into this not wanting any sort of showmance," Reilly told the magazine following her eviction from the Big Brother house.
"I wanted to focus on making it to the end, without any love. But, you know, I didn't expect to meet someone like Matt, and I think he's wonderful... We'll have to see when he gets out of the house where that goes. But right now, I can think of him as a really wonderful friend, regardless."
Matt went all the way to the Big Brother finale and finished as the runner-up behind the Season 25 winner, Jag Bains. Matt won $75,000 as the show's second-place finisher.
In early November 2023, Matt spoke to Entertainment Weekly earlier about where he saw his relationship with Reilly going outside of the Big Brother house.
"I knew that one was coming. Yeah, me and Reilly will have a good talk," Matt said after the finale aired.
"It's been 84 days since I've seen her. She got evicted early, and then I made it all the way through to the end. I think Reilly knows a lot more about me, because she's been watching the show."
Matt added, "I don't know much, but I'm excited to get to know more of the rest of her and spend time with her."
Later that month, Reilly confirmed that she and Matt were "not dating" or in a relationship at the time.
Reilly claimed in a TikTok Live video, which later expired, that Matt had told her "he needs time."
The bartender continued of Matt, "We talked about it and he needs time. He is doing his thing, and I'm not going to interfere. I'll always be his friend, but right now, he was pretty honest and he said that it's not a good time for him."
Matt allegedly explained to Reilly that he had been feeling "overwhelmed" and had "a lot going on."
Reilly therefore concluded, "So I'm just going to be there for support when he needs me -- and that's that!"
They both appeared to still be single as of early 2024, according to their Instagram accounts.
