Biermann and McLeroy's relationship has attracted attention from fans who have followed their romance and its aftermath.

The former couple first met as teenagers and dated on and off for years before moving in together in Manhattan. They announced their breakup in October 2025.
Their relationship struggles became a central storyline during Season 2 of Next Gen NYC.
During the June season premiere, Biermann admitted she often felt unsupported in their romance.
"Since I was 14, I saw this boy who I loved, who I wanted to help. He always called me when he was down bad. He knew I was going to be there because I care about this person so deeply and they deserve somebody to be there and hold their hand," she shared, possibly referring to his addiction struggles. "As time went on, I kind of realized nobody was holding mine."
Although the pair briefly reconciled in early 2026, they ultimately called it quits again.
In an August interview prior to McLeroy's post, Biermann confirmed she was single but insisted they were on good terms.
"He will always be like a dear friend and a close person in my life," she explained. "There will always be love there."
