"Legit happy for them both. They both fell hard and deserve to just be happy out in the open. Girl came in and got herself a model, I know thats right," a person wrote.
"Tucker and Rubina… like I’m happy for y’all but umm do you guys just wanna go home? Lol. I mean that’s okay if you found love," a fan commented.
"Ok I'm not a showmance fan per se but if I had a man like Tucker all over me and expressive/validating as he is towards Rubina then I'd forget the 700k too," a tweet read.
Big Brother season 26 fans further said:
"Tucker/Rubina still talking about the showmance nonsense. Enough!," a person wrote.
"tucker and rubina are always worrying more about how their showmance might affect their game than having actual game talks," a fan commented.
The cast finds out about Tucker and Rubina's Big Brother showmance
In Big Brother season 26, episode 20, Rubina and Tucker officially announced their relationship. While the two have been in a showmance for a while now, they have tried to keep it under wraps from the other houseguests because they were worried it would hamper their game.
However, in the latest episode, they decided to let everyone know as Tucker carried Rubina out of a room in his arms. The cast cheered and celebrated the couple and the moment proved to be an emotional one for Rubina.
She cried as she told the Big Brother season 26 cast that she didn't want to develop feelings for Tucker, who agreed with her. Acknowledging the game, Tucker said he knew it could hurt their strategy, but the two didn't care.
As the cast joked around, Chelsie said Rubina was her "girl." Tucker shot back jokingly and said, "My girl."
The episode also saw the Big Brother season 26 houseguests telling each other they loved one another as they reassured themselves about their relationship status. Rubina told Tucker she "believed" in him and herself.
"I believe in you, and I believe in me. We're gonna be unstoppable. They can't stop us, even if they stop us," Tucker replied.
