“I’m doing a lot of hard work and focusing on my areas of improvement,” Vince continued in his interview with Chen Moonves, 56. “While Big Brother it was the greatest experience of my life, and I am forever grateful for it, it also highlighted some areas of opportunity for me. I have been spending a lot of time alone, and with family [and] friends, you know, I’m trying to work on being the best version of myself that I can be.”

After he left Big Brother house, Vince’s confessional on YouTube found him explaining his experience on the show. “As for the most common question everyone asks me, [it] he’s like, ‘How’s my relationship?'” Vince said: “Kelsey and I have talked about everything. We’ve talked about everything and anything that’s possible, and right now we’re taking the time to process everything individually, and you know, find out what things look like after that. “

And I’d just say, ‘Well, you’d be surprised.’
Despite the explanation, Vince eventually took the opportunity to apologize for his actions. “I’m sorry about that,” he said. “I was the one who set the limits. I was the one who loved each other … But on the outside, I saw that it was disrespectful to have a girlfriend, and I should have been more careful. But, the truth is, I didn’t.”
