The couple, who got engaged in December 2020, caught people's attention with their public displays of affection on Valor. Chief stew Kate Chastain shared her thoughts on their kissing sessions, speculating that the woman may be trying to prove something to her ex or friends after a recent divorce, but reassured that one can be doing well without constant PDA.
