The holiday season often brings surprises, but no one expected Big Brother 26 stars Matt Hardeman and Makensy Manbeck to set social media ablaze with what seemed like a marriage proposal—albeit a cheeky one.
Christmas Eve brought a wave of surprise for Big Brother 26 fans as runner-up Makensy Manbeck and fellow housemate Matt Sullivan shared an intimate moment under the glow of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The photo, which has since gone viral, shows the pair in matching beige loungewear, sharing a tender kiss, with a caption that left fans buzzing: “Making this Christmas unforgettable.”
But the real buzz started in the comment section when Matt cheekily wrote, “Are you Christmas??? Because I want to merry you 😩😩😩.” Fans were quick to flood the post with reactions, unsure if Matt’s words were merely playful banter or a hint at something more. Makensy fueled the speculation with her cryptic reply: “👀 sitting here staring at the small box under the tree.”
Naturally, the interaction sent fans into a frenzy, with many wondering if there was more to the banter. Comments flooded in, speculating if Matt was hinting at a real-life proposal or simply showing off his holiday humor.
The interaction immediately sent fans into a frenzy. “Wait, is this a joke or…?!” one user commented, while another added, “Don’t play with our emotions like this, Matt! We need answers!” The combination of the romantic holiday setting and their flirty exchange has left fans on edge, wondering if a real-life engagement might actually be in the works.
Matt and Makensy have kept their audience entertained since Big Brother 26 ended, with their undeniable chemistry and lighthearted social media exchanges. Though the duo has yet to officially confirm any plans to take their relationship to the next level, fans can’t help but dream about the possibility.
For now, it seems Matt’s “proposal” was simply a holiday joke, but with the pair’s ongoing playful antics, their followers will undoubtedly keep a close eye on every post, looking for the next clue. Whether it’s true love or just festive fun, one thing is certain: Matt and Makensy know how to keep the spirit of Big Brother alive, long after the season has ended.
