♪ This whole time ♪

- TRAVIS: You’ve met the love
of your life.

- I love him, like,
I wanna marry him.

- I think Barry is the one.

- RSHNE: But they’re hiding
a massive secret.

- I have not met anybody
in his family.

- You.

- I don’t wanna keep thinking
it’s me.

- I’m proud of our relationship.
I want her to be proud, too.

That’s all.

- TRAVIS: We’re on a mission
to find out why.

- He’s maybe doing some type
of steroids.

- We’ve got missing jewelry,
a house that no one can go to.

Welcome to Vegas.

- I mean, he may be in
another relationship.

- Oh!
- I’m Rahne Jones.

Let her go, let her go.

I’ve been hidden.
I can’t tell you

how hurtful it is.
It does make you

severely insecure.

- I’m Travis Mills.

I’ve definitely done it.
I’ve been in relationships

that I haven’t posted at all.

- RAHNE: We’re joining forces
to help desperate partners

uncover the truth about
their secret relationships.

I used to work for the
Department of Homeland Security.

- This could very well be a
guy that’s living a double life.

- There’s a difference between
being in love

and being a sucker for love.

- If we do not do this,
there will be no wedding.

- TRAVIS: We’ll bring these
couples face-to-face.

- The reason why I’m
hiding you...

- The reason I’m
hiding you is...

- I really don’t know
what to do.

- RAHNE: To reveal their
shocking secrets.

- That’s enough.

- Can I get a second?

- He should’ve told me
something like that!

- You in there with your ex?

- TRAVIS: Donald.
- RAHNE: Donald.

- Yo, what the [bleep]?

- All right, Donald.

- Stormy, come on, man,
open the door.

- TRAVIS: This is MTV’s

"Help, I’m in a Secret
Relationship".

- TRAVIS: Tonight, we’re in
Los Angeles

with ViVi and Diontre.

Vivi is being hidden by Diontre
and she wants to know why.

- Diontre has never introduced
me to his friends or his family.

- This could very well be a guy
that’s living a double life.

Diontre thinks he’s
on a show about

long-distance relationships.

We’re here to set the record
straight and give Vivi

some answers.

- You can’t really hide
from everyone.

Nobody really knows what
he’s doing.

- Why do you think Diontre
is hiding Vivi?

- So this might sound crazy...

- It’s a little creepy.

Why wouldn’t he tell
Vivi about it?

- Your boyfriend is hiding
some [bleep].

Rolling up to his house in
the middle of the night.

- [knocking]

- RAHNE: I don’t know what
to expect.

- Vivi: Is there someone else?

- [Diontre sighs]

- TRAVIS: We’re in Venice!

- RAHNE: Venice Beach!

- Ah, I love it here.
I used to live here

for two and a half years.
- Really?

- This was, like, my spot.
You go get drinks,

you get dinner, you walk
to the ocean.

Like, everything you need
is right here.

- It’s a good vibe here.

- As fun as it is, we’re here
to do a job.

- Yes, we are.
- And we’re here to meet Vivi.

- So Vivi has been with her
boyfriend, Diontre for a year.

- TRAVIS: Mm-hmm.

- RAHNE: But the last
four months, they’ve

been long-distance.

- Vivi lives in LA, he lives
three hours away

in Central California.

- Mm, babe.
Safety, safety, safety.

I’m not trying to be the
reason that Los Angeles

has traffic today.

- My name is Vivi.
I’m 25 years old

and I’m from Los Angeles,
California.

I was working up in
Central Valley,

and that’s where Diontre
and I met.

And I’ve never really had a
relationship that has

been so much fun.

- Wanna hear some Spanish
I’ve been leaning

- Yeah.

- [speaking Spanish]

- [laughs] I’m not really sure
what you tried to say.

But I love that you’re trying
to learn Spanish for me.

Four months ago, I had to move
back to Los Angeles

because of work.
So now we’re in a

long-distance relationship.
Just missing you.

- Not as much as I’m
missing you.

- It’s been rough.

You’re here!
- Look at you.

Come here.

I miss you.
- I miss you so much.

- Here, take these.
- These are for me?

- Yeah, these are for you.

Diontre’s gonna move down to LA
and we are gonna

get our first apartment
together.

I’ve been thinking about, like,
where we can get apartments.

Hopefully near the beach.

- Or, check me out.

We can not live by the beach
and visit.

- Mm, no I think we should
definitely live by the beach

Diontre is the one.
I love him.

I wanna marry him.
The only problem is that

I haven’t met any of his
friends or family.

- In due time you’ll meet
everyone that you need to meet.

- We’ve been together
for one year.

That’s plenty of time for you
to have

introduced me to friends.

- It’s just not the priority
that I have right now.

- Like, I need answers.
And if he doesn’t come clean

and tell me the truth, I’m done.
Se acabó.

- I think that’s Vivi
right there.

- RAHNE: That’s our girl?

- Vivi!
- Hey, Vivi!

- Hey!

- How you doing?
- How are you?

Good.
- Awesome. I’m Travis.

- Vivi, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. You, too.

- I’m Ranhe. Nice to meet you.
- Vivi, nice to meet you.

- Do you wanna go up there?
- Yeah, let’s go.

- [chatter]

- First and foremost,
how are you doing?

- Um, I’m doing okay, but
honestly, I can’t say I’m

doing great, which is why I
reached out to you.

- Tell us about your
relationship with Diontre.

- We actually met in, uh,
central California.

I was working there on a
contract assignment.

I’m a nurse.
It was only gonna be temporary,

and we met on a dating app.
And Diontre and I

hit it off, like, right away.

- FEMALE SINGER: ♪ Don’t move,
think we got something ♪

♪ Don’t wanna think
about nothing ♪

- A couple months into our
relationship, Diontre was like,

why don’t you just move in
with me?

It was just, like, the right
thing to do at the time

And it was great being with
each other every single day.

Going to sleep together
every single night.

- You are now long-distance,
right?

- Yes.
My assignment was gonna be over

and LA has always been my home.
So we talked about me

coming back here and him
moving to Los Angeles so that

we can live together.

- And how has that distance
affected

the relationship so far?

- ♪
- It’s been really difficult.

He’s a student and he works
at a hotel overnights.

You know, we went from being
with each other

every single day to video chats
and, like,

not seeing each other for,
like, two weeks at a time.

I hate it, to be honest.
I can’t wait to start

this new life together.
But Diontre has never

introduced me to his friends
or his family.

And I wanna know why.
What’s going on?

- And have you asked Diontre?
- Yeah.

- TRAVIS: What does he say?

- He comes up with so many
different excuses.

Diontre’s originally
from Atlanta.

He’ll say, my family,
you’re so far away,

which I understand.
But now we have

so much technology, so many
different ways

to connect with people.
He never gives me

a straightforward answer.
It’s always some workaround.

- How do you know that,
you know, it’s not just

the honeymoon phase of
the relationship?

Like, how do you know for sure
that this is

something that’s permanent?

- ♪

- We talked about a lot
of things,

like, deeper parts
of ourselves.

And we’ve been very vulnerable
with each other.

And I’ve shared things about
myself with him.

So I have a autoimmune disorder
called alopecia

- Okay.

- So this is a wig.
- RAHNE: Mm-hmm.

- And I’m actually bald.
- RANHE: Okay

- You rock it.
- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.
- It looks really good.

- RAHNE: You look great.

- Thank you.

So I actually started losing my
hair when I was about

11 or 12.
And you know, those are really,

like, formative years
- Kids.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- And there was, like, a moment

in my life that was
very defining.

I’m getting a little emotional,
but when I was in high school

I was on the soccer team.
And during a game,

my wig fell off, like,
in the middle of the game.

Like, everyone is just, like,
looking at me

and I, like, quickly pick it up,
put it back on.

And after that moment,
I really didn’t wanna

be here anymore.
Like, I really just went

into, like, this deep shell
of hiding because it was

like, everyone is kind of
seeing this part of me

that I hate.

It was really hard for me
to see past being this burden

I was ashamed.

- The fact that you felt like
you couldn’t exist

on this planet anymore based
on other people’s perception,

their ignorance,
is heartbreaking

And I want to give
15-year-old you a hug.

I mean, obviously it’s not
the same.

I’m g*y, right?
Coming out was a big deal

for me and I thought people
would literally abandon me,

people that I knew loved me.

- I’m so happy that
15-year-old Vivi can

see you now, meeting
two strangers, essentially..

- Makin’ ’em cry.

- And it’s being so self-aware
and so self-confident.

I wanna commend you.

- Thank you.

- So with Diontre, it’s been,
like, night and day

with my past relationships.
I’m always like this with him.

It’s so natural.
And he constantly reminds me

how beautiful I am, and, like,
when I’m with Diontre,

it just feels like
a safe place.

- Yes.

- That’s why this distance has
been so hard because I feel

like part of me is missing.

- It’s really hard to find
what you and Diontre have.

But we still need to find out
why Diontre is hiding you.

- One of the first thoughts
that comes into my mind is,

why doesn’t he post me
on social media?

Like, I’m a ghost in your life.
It’s like I don’t exist.

There’s not a single trace of me
on social media.

- A ghost, huh?

- I just wanna make sure we’re
on the same page.

- We’re on the same page.
Chapter eight, page 269.

- And Diontre will post pictures
on socials where I feel like he

is maybe trying to get attention
from other girls

- Are we talking about, like...
- Are we talking about,

like, shirtless photos, like...
- I was just about to say that.

- Yeah, like, a fresh cut
or something, like,

I mean, I don’t think his
guy friends care too much

about his haircut.

- Hey, I’ve been known...
- I mean, honestly...

- I’ve been known to post...
to post a fresh cut

every not and then.
- You look good, bro.

- [laughter]

- And also, you know, he has
his ex on there.

- So you know for sure that he
still follows his ex

and she still follows him?
- Yes.

- TRAVIS: Have you brought that
up to him?

- I have.
He says it’s just like

an amicable friendship
Like, they don’t really talk

but maybe he wants her to think
he’s still available.

- When you do see Diontre,
are you going up there

or is he mainly coming
out here?

- He’s mainly coming up here.

Sometimes I ask, like, maybe
I can go visit you

for a change, and he’ll say,
like, oh, you know,

my roommate, um, its’ just so
much better if I come see you.

- So you haven’t been there
since the last time

you guys temporary lived
together?

- No.

And then he has told me he’s
accepting of my alopecia,

but maybe he’s worried that,
like, his friends

and family won’t be as
accepting.

- Got it.

- I’ve been hurt and I’ve been
through so much,

like, I wanna know that I’m
putting my heart

in a safe place and that we’re
gonna have this

amazing future together
that we talk about.

- Okay.

Do you have anyone that you
think Rahne

and I should talk to?

- Well, my best friend,
Jennifer.

She knows Diontre.
My friend, Nico,

who’s also met him.
So he might be able

to give some feedback.

- What does Diontre think
all of this is for?

- He thinks it’s a show
on MTV

about long-distance
relationships.

- TRAVIS: All right, well...
- RAHNE: Well...

- Vivi, thank you
for trusting us.

- As soon as we know something,
you’ll know something.

- RAHNE: So nice to meet you.

- So good to meet you.
Thank you.

- All right, Vivi,
have a great day.

- You, too.
Thank you.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- MALE SINGER: ♪ I don’t know
what I believe ♪

♪ These are lines ♪

- RAHNE: Whew, our girl, Vivi.

- Ah, my heart goes out to her.
She’s so brave.

- Seriously.
- Right?

And to kind of trust us
after only knowing us

for a few minutes.

- Absolutely
Like, this is a girl

who’s been through a lot.
She’s done a lot of work

to get to a place where she’s
good.

And Diontre is that person
to give her that

outside acceptance.
But like, he’s hiding her

for some reason.

- Yeah, her theory is the
alopecia thing

that she suspects it could be.

Does it send her back into that
hole...

- You’re so right.
- ...you know, that she felt...

- That spiral.
- ...when she was 15 years old.

Right, this is like, she’s
worked so hard,

she’s made so much progress to
get past this thing.

Does this kind of
reopen that wound?

- So another theory she had
is that he wants

to appear single for his ex
or someone else.

- TRAVIS: I really wanna look
at this dude’s social media.

- RAHNE: Mm-hmm.

- TRAVIS: Let’s go to
the profile.

"Don’t test me, baby.
Just undress me, baby."

This is what she means.
Putting it out there

like he’s single on socials.
I mean, one,

that’s kind of a cringe caption
to post.

I would never be like...
- Never.

- Who wants to undress me, baby?
- Undress me, baby.

- TRAVIS: Like, dude, you have
a girlfriend.

Now, he has a post
from two hours ago.

- RAHNE: Hm.

- TRAVIS: "What luxury
looks like, part one."

So he’s flaunting it
for social.

Let’s keep going down.

"Young, chocolatey, you either
got it in you or you don’t."

- It looks like homeboy
is single.

- This could very well be a
guy that’s living a double life.

- RAHNE: Could be.

- The verdict is to be
determined whether he’s

actually balling or just
fronting for social media.

Or whether he has something
going on.

Or, or somebody else.

All right, should we get
outta here?

- Absolutely

- Let’s do it.
- Let’s go.

- TRAVIS: Coming up...

- Diontre was like, what?
I would totally do that

for that kind of money.

- Your boyfriend is hiding
some [bleep].

Rolling up to his house in
the middle of the night.

- TRAVIS: Today is
judgment day.

- The reason I’m hiding you
is...

trying to help Vivi

find out why her boyfriend,
Diontre, is hiding her

- TRAVIS:
Get ready for some coffee.

- So ready for some coffee.

We reached out
to Vivi's friends,

Nico and Jennifer.

We're meeting up with Nico
to see if he can help us

get some answers.

- After you.

- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.

- RAHNE: Ooh.

- ♪

- Thank you.
Rahne, this is for you.

- Appreciate ya.

- And he said in the back.
Nico, what's up, dude?

Travis.
- NICO: What's up, brother?

- How you doing?
- NICO: Good, good.

- How you doing?
I'm Rahne, nice to meet you.

- Thanks for meeting with me.
You guys hanging out, chilling?

- RAHNE: Yeah.

- We spent the morning
with Vivi, who we know that,

uh, you're close with.

- Super, super.
Yeah, I love her.

- You know, she kinda filled us
in about her being hidden,

you know, from Diontre's family,
from his friends,

from his social media.

But we'd love to hear
from your perspective.

- Yeah, I mean, it's a little
crazy.

Diontre's cool as hell.
I love the guy.

But he got a couple of red flags
that make me question his stuff.

- Like what?
- TRAVIS: Like what?

- Well, Vivi had called me,
she was telling me

over Thanksgiving weekend,
they made a whole,

big old meal, had a beautiful
mac and cheese.

The family Facetimed him,
and all he did was

show off the mac and cheese.
They didn't put her on the phone

just the mac and cheese.

- Okay.
That...that's interesting.

- Yes.
- What did Vivi say?

- Well, you know, she
was heartbroken.

You're there, too.
You wanna say something.

- Vivi was telling us that,
you know, they've been

in a long-distance relationship
for four months,

but he won't let her go
to central California.

He only wants to come to LA.

Do you think that there could be
a double life thing

that Diontre's doing?
Like, other women?

- That's exactly what
I thought about it.

That's what I think he's doing.

You can't really hide
from everyone, you know?

If you take her out there,
there's so many opportunities

and people that could be like,
hey, you come down to LA

where basically it's just me and
Vivi's friends that know him.

Nobody really knows
what he's doing.

- Have you brought any of this
up to her?

- Nah, I honestly, I really,
really hope what I think

isn't true, because I know that
it's gonna break her heart

and I don't wanna see her
go through that.

She's such a good person,
has such a great heart,

that thinking about even some
shady stuff going on,

it breaks my heart,
to be honest.

- I mean, we're right there
with you, man.

We obviously, you know, we want
the best for Vivi.

And that's why we're out here.
Trying to get her some answers.

Thank you so much, man.
We're gonna get back to work.

- Y'all be safe there.
- Great to meet you, man.

- Nice to meet you, Nico.
Thank you.

- You guys take care.
- All right, brother.

We're gonna get back to work.
- Y'all be safe now.

- That makes perfect sense...
- Yeah.

- ...if it's true.
We don't know that for certain.

I don't wanna
throw accusations,

but Diontre could be in
central California

with another woman.

- I hope to God it's not true.

- If I get in the car and
get the hell outta here.

- Skedaddle
- Let's do it.

Vivi's friend, Jennifer,

for lunch.
After hearing Nico say yesterday

he thinks Diontre might be
involved with another woman,

we're bracing ourselves for
whatever Jennifer is

gonna drop on us.

- It's cute.

Thank you.
- TRAVIS: Thank you so much.

- Appreciate it. Thank you.

After you.

- RANHE: Hi!
- I'm Travis.

- Nice to meet you.
- RAHNE: I'm Ranhe.

Nice to meet you.
- I got you a horchata.

- Oh, thank you.

- Yesterday, we spoke with
Vivi and we are

in love with her.
She's the sweetest thing.

- Yeah, she's my best friend.
We've been friends

for over 10 years now.

- She gave us a little bit of
a backstory with her

relationship with Diontre.

Vivi feels like
she's been hidden

from his family and friends.
So we just wanted to get a take

on her relationship with
Diontre.

- Um, she's totally in love
with him.

They complement each other
very well.

They're both very funny
and outgoing.

But there's just one thing
that bothers me.

I feel like Diontre has made her
kind of question

her self worth a little bit.
And we all know

how much that hurts.

- 100%.

And I mean,
that's why we're here.

- RAHNE: Yeah.

- Like, have you gotten to
spend time with Diontre?

- Yes, when we all took a
friend trip to Lake Tahoe.

- And was it Vivi and friends,
Diontre and his friends?

- Oh, it was Vivi and friends.
None of Diontre's friends there.

- RAHNE: Okay
Thank you. Oh my God.

- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

- Just keeps coming.
- Thank you.

- Heavenly father, oh my God.

Now, why do you think Diontre
is holding Vivi?

- ♪

- Okay, so this might
sound crazy.

I believe that he's working
as a professional cuddler.

- A what?

- A professional cuddler.

- Someone who, like, cuddles?

- JENNIFER: Yes.

- You can be a
professional cuddler?

- It's a real job.

- What, uh, what is that?

- So, a cuddler is someone who
gives intimacy,

physical touch in exchange
for money.

- It almost sounds like a kind
of a kink, kind of a fetish.

- It's not sexual at all.
It's just basically

an alternative therapy.

- Okay.
- Yes.

- What makes you think Diontre
is a professional cuddler?

- Okay, so back to that one trip
in Lake Tahoe that we had.

We were all gathered around
the campfire talking about

the crazy ways that my
nursing school friends used

to make money.
My friend Michelle quit

nursing school to become
a professional cuddler,

making from 80 to $100 an hour.

And Diontre was like, what?
I would totally do that

for that kind of money.
Then he texted me later on

that week, asking me for my
friend's website she was on.

And i just told Diontre
her information

And so that's when I
became suspicious.

So I asked Michelle to
help me find him.

- On the site.
- Yes.

And we did find him.

- ♪

- Okay.
- Can we see it?

- ♪

- That is definitely Diontre.
$100 an hour.

"My favorite tea? You, shawty."
That's...

- That's a little flirtatious.
That's not real...

- 100%.

- Okay.

- So I believe that Diontre's
hiding Vivi because his friends

know that he's doing this
as a side hustle.

- Okay.

- And Vivi would not be
okay with this.

- Have you brought this
to Vivi's attention?

- ♪

- No, I have not.
I just don't even know

how she would react.
I just...I didn't' wanna

hurt her even more.

- If this was, you know, the
real reason why Diontre is

hiding Vivi, you think it's
like relationship over?

It's a break up?

- This would be a big issue.

I think it would, like,
break their trust.

- Wow.

- All right, so I have to go.
I have a shift in an hour.

But it was nice
meeting you guys.

- Yeah.
- Nice to meet you, too.

- Thank you guys!

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Professional cuddling.
- That's a new one.

- I might be in
the wrong profession.

- I...I think I am.
I'm good at it.

- [laughter]

- I mean, I just feel bad for
Vivi because she has no clue.

- I think the thing that's
bothered me the most

is his little bio section.

"What type of tea do I like?
You, shawty."

- You wanna talk about
appearing single

on the internet,
that is the epitome.

It's a little creepy.
I think we should call him.

- All right.

- [voicemail bleeps]

- Yo, what's up, Diontre?
It's Travis and Ranhe with MTV.

We had a couple questions,
if you could give us

a call back on this number,
that'd be great.

- Okay.
- You think for a guy

that's always trying
to make money at night...

- RAHNE: You'd be easily..

- You'd be picking up
your phone.

- Yeah, like, I need a cuddle.
Something.

We're kinda like
at a standstill.

We don't know what to do now.

- I wanna get a cup of coffee.
- Hell yeah.

- Can I get a coffee?

- Regular coffee, just milk.

Send.

Diontre’s ex-roommate Eddie
said Diontre is living

in LA with his girlfriend.
And if that’s true,

that girlfriend is not Vivi.

We’re on our way to Vivi now
to tell her everything we know.

I’m not a fan of Diontre.

Like, the fact that we drove for
literally six hours last night

- To only find out he...

- He lives in LA!
- ...lives in LA.

We honestly don’t know
where this guy is.

- What’s the deal?

that she potentially has been
lied to throughout

the duration of their
relationship

it stops today.

- [clears throat] So,
how are you doing?

- Um, I’ve just really been
hoping for some answers.

- Well, we definitely have some
information

that we need to share.

- Yesterday we met up
with Jennifer.

Jennifer seems to think that
Diontre is working

as a professional cuddler.

- What?
- A professional cuddler.

- Professional cuddler?

- This is a true, like,
alternative therapy.

And it helps people with
anxiety and depression.

- [sighs] Oh my gosh.

Like, he’s--he’s cuddling with,
with people?

- Jennifer actually sent us
Diontre’s profile where you

can book sessions with him.

- You know, we’re in this
long-distance relationship.

I’m not seeing him, like,
that’s one of the things

I miss the most about us is,
like, cuddling

and going to sleep together,
and he’s literally

getting paid to do that
with other people

and not letting me know?

- So we have one last
thing to tell you.

You gave us Diontre’s address.
We drove three hours,

we knocked on the door.
Diontre wasn’t there,

but Eddie, his roommate was,
and this is hard to say.

According to Eddie, Diontre
moved out two months ago...

to LA.
- What?

- And what Diontre told Eddie
is that he was moving

to LA with his girlfriend.

- Are you kidding me?

- Obviously Diontre did not
move to LA with you.

- Oh my gosh.

So two months he hasn’t been
where he’s been

telling me he’s been?

- Correct.
- Correct.

- This is a nightmare.

- I know this is a lot.
I know this is heavy.

- This entire time I thought
this was about my alopecia,

and I thought that he was,
like, ashamed.

- This is what
hiding people does.

This has nothing to with you,
as you can see.

- The only person that can
confirm what’s really

going on is Diontre.

- I think I’ll call him and
ask him to come.

- Do you want us here,
or do you want us...

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- [phone ringing]

- DIONTRE: Hey, Booger.

- Hey. What are you...
- DIONTRE: What’s up?

- Where are you?

- Remember the long-distance
relationship show

I told you about?
- DIONTRE: Right.

- So the real show’s actually
about why you’ve

been hiding me
this entire time.

- DIONTRE: What?

- Yeah.

- DIONTRE: So you lied to me?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- This isn’t about me
right now.

This is about you and what
you’ve been hiding.

- DIONTRE: Whoa!
You...you did...hold on.

- VIVI: Are you in LA?

- Hm.

- I’m at home.
And I need you to get here now.

get here now and give me answers

I never, ever, ever wanna
see you again.

Diontre and revealed

the reason why he's on the show.

He's on his way over,

Diontre,

we'll get ourselves situated.

thanking you for coming here.

- Yeah, absolutely
- I know this is a lot.

Vivi reached out to Travis and I
because she feels like

you are hiding her
from your world.

- Okay.

- You can imagine what that
does to someone, right?

- I could.
And I hope to bring

some clarification for her
if I get the chance.

- Okay.

- What's going through your
head right now, Vivi?

- [sighs] I just...I don't know
what to think.

I'm not really sure how he's
gonna be able

to give me an explanation
for all of this.

- I just want you to remember
that you are strong,

that you deserve the truth,
like it stops today.

nice to meet you.
- Thanks for coming.

We're all sitting here today
because for the past year

of your relationship, Vivi feels
like she's being hidden

from your family, your friends.
I mean, to be quite frank,

Vivi's had enough.
And she needs answers.

And that's all we're trying
to do today.

So, Vivi, whenever you're ready.

- ♪

- I have learned some really
insane things today.

Jennifer, she said you have
a professional cuddler profile.

You're cuddling with people?

You're meeting up
with people and cuddling?

But the worst part is that they
went where you "live".

Your roommate said that you
moved out two months ago

to live with your girlfriend
in LA.

What have you been doing?
Why are you hiding me?

Is there someone else?

- [sighs] Okay, so first off,
yes, I do

have a cuddling profile.

I thought it would be an easy
way to make some quick cash,

but I decided I can't do this.
I just never got around

to deleting the account.
That's all that it is.

- I don't understand feeling
like you can't

share this with me.

This extends far more than just
you having a cuddler profile.

You're lying to me,
you're deceiving me.

That's not how we continue
a trusting relationship.

- You're right.

- And your roommate said

that you moved out
two months ago.

- [sighs]

Well, truth be told,

I've already moved to LA.

- What? Here?

- Yes.

- You've been in my city
and you didn't tell me?

Do you have another girlfriend?

- Vivi, the reason I'm
hiding you is...

- [glass shattering]

- [glass shattering]

- Vivi, the reason I’m
hiding you is...

’cause I’m broke.
I’m trying to save money

from all of these odd jobs
that I have

in order to give you everything
you want to do.

My friends and family all know
that I’m struggling.

I didn’t want them to let
you know.

- You did not want Vivi
to know that you

were struggling with money?

- No, I’m just,
I’m too prideful, you know?

We talked about kinda
in front of the beach,

first day rent and last month’s
rent comes at the amount

of anywhere between $6,000
and $7,000.

I need to save money
for that, yeah?

I’m so sorry that I hurt you.

- So where have you been
living?

- Vivi, I’ve been living
in my car

for the past two months.

- Why?

- Rent is very expensive,
so I be living out of my car

all in order to save up money
so I can make a life

for you and us.

- TRAVIS: Does your family know
that you’ve been

living in your car?

- No.

- There’s no shame in struggle.
I have been there.

I have had negative $900
in my damn account,

not knowing where I was gonna
[bleep] eat.

- Right.
- Like, I get that.

But you have a partner who
obviously wants

the same things as you do.
Let her help you.

- I fell in love with Diontre.
Like, who you are,

who you showed me that you are.

from you loves you.

And I commend you for
being honest.

I know that wasn’t easy to do.

something else you need to know.

- We’ve gotta rebuild
trust now.

That’s gonna take some time.
And saying I do

and going through with this,
like, that’s not gonna

fix any of that.

- Diontre, how are you
feeling right now?

- I feel a lot of things

But the biggest one has got
to be guilt.

I have to say, uh,
I can’t blame her.

- You know, saying no right now
doesn’t mean no ever.

- What is it that you
want from me?

- [sighs] I wanna know that
the person I’m

planning my future with
is honest, is transparent,

isn’t deceiving me,
and they have my back

the same way that they allow
me to have theirs.

I don’t wanna have to feel like
I need to hire a team

to help me find out why the
person I love is hiding me.

Who wants those things?

- You’re right.

I wouldn’t feel too good
about being hidden either.

I don’t wanna be without you
’cause I love you.

- Building trust is a big step.

- Vivi, is there anything else
you want to say?

- Will you introduce me to
your friends and family now?

- Yes.

- If you’re really committed
to working on this

and reestablishing this trust
that’s been broken,

then I’m equally as committed
to being alongside you

and doing this together.

- You’re right.
You mean the world to me.

- We hope for the best
for you two.

And if there are nuptials
in the future,

we wish you nothing but the
best in that,

but make sure that you’re ready
and that you have

that foundation that is
unbelievable vital

in the success of something
like that.

being said,

we’re gonna get outta here.
