Natalie Negrotti and James Huling - Big Brother, Season 18

Big Brother Season 18 in 2016

Current Status: Broken Up

Natalie Negrotti and James Huling had a surprising Big Brother romance because James believed Natalie, a professional cheerleader, was out of his league. But Natalie insisted James was exactly her type.

Natalie and James continued dating once the show wrapped, but things went awry shortly afterwards.

James accused Natalie of cheating on him with her ex-boyfriend and spending money he had raised for her family in Venezuela on GoFundMe.

Natalie in turn threatened to sue James for making false allegations and allegedly bashing her on social media.

The pair split with nothing but bad blood between them, and little hope of remaining friends.

Natalie went on to appear on multiple seasons of MTV's The Challenge, and came out as pansexual in an episode of The Challenge: Final Reckoning that aired on the network in July 2018.

"I am pansexual and I'm okay with that now," she said.

Negrotti also confirmed the news on Twitter.

"I came out with my story to share my truth with those who are battling the same thing I did. Do not throw hate at anyone for their actions," she wrote.

"I wanted to use my platform to educate people who are not informed. Let's spread love and education not hate."

In April 2019, Natalie introduced her girlfriend Stephanie Cooler to the world.

"I'm so excited to finally introduce you to my beautiful girlfriend @scooler23," she captioned a photo with Cooler.

"I've tried keeping her out of the spotlight for a year and a half for the most part to protect her, respect her, and take things slow. BUT we are ready to share our love with the world."

"Stephanie is one of the kindest humans I've ever met," Natalie gushed.

"She is patient with me, understanding, kind, loving, caring, smart, beautiful, sweet, passionate, peaceful, goal oriented, PATIENT, patient and did I say patient? Lol she is everything I've ever wanted and dreamt of but didn't know existed."

"She puts me first a lot and prioritizes my happiness without compromising hers. She supports me through everything," she added.

"This is truly what love is and I'm so lucky to have found it. I love u Stephi and I can't wait to spend my life with u."

However, four months later, Natalie announced she and Stephanie had ended their relationship.

"Moving today. One minute u have life figured out (or so u think) u think ur gunna marry someone and live happily ever after but then that doesn't work out," she tweeted in August 2019.

"I'm 29 single and most of my friends are married with kids #hotmessexpress I can't afford a therapist so u guys have to deal."
