A post-finale update revealed that Steven Jr. and Calah “have not seen each other since December but continue to text weekly.”
However, that has since changed. Steven Jr. told The Daily Dish via an August email, “Calah and I do not have a relationship, and that door has closed permanently. There’s just been so much that has happened between us, and between her and my family, where sometimes it’s better to start fresh with someone new than try to go back and work through the extremely tough situations and heal from them when there’s still so much built up inside.”
“I still care about her, but watching everything play back is hard and brings back the emotions of that time period so it’d be tough to still continue to talk in any capacity while watching episodes play back and not feel emotionally charged,” he added. “I wish her nothing but the absolute best and for all of the success in her life. She’s an incredible woman and we have so many great memories created together, even through the tough times.”
Steven been dating again, but he further revealed that he’s currently hoping to settle down soon: “I’m not really looking for casual dating or just having fun, going out in the city at night,” he shared in a July interview with The Daily Dish. “I’m looking for something more permanent.”
In his August email to The Daily Dish, he noted that he’s not currently in a “serious” relationship but is “definitely looking!”
“Having my two nieces around has certainly given a new perspective on life and understanding what I want out of it, and being able to start a life with someone and build a family is the ultimate dream of mine,” he noted. “Hoping to find that soon!”
Calah has been spending plenty of time traveling since her split from Steven Jr., sharing looks into her recent vacations to Aspen and Los Angeles.
