Confirmed: Gretchen Rossi Dating Slade Smiley

This news was SO crazy when it first came out that I almost didn't believe it. But, it's been confirmed, Gretchen Rossi really is dating Jo de la Rosa's ex, Slade Smiley. The couple talked about their relationship recently with TV Guide.

Slade said,

“Gretchen and I have
been friends for eight years. Let’s just say we’ve become a little more than
friends.”

Gretchen adds,

“All of a sudden, we started hanging out and said, ‘There might be
something here,’” Rossi says. “It’s been kind of
fun.” Smiley adds, “And I was saying, ‘Why
didn’t I date you before!’ I think it’s an amazing
combination.”  

As for the reuion show, Gretchen and Slade didn't even watch it because they said the accusations were too over the top for them to handle. 

Rossi seemed in great spirits, considering the drubbing she took at the
reunion show courtesy of some of her co-stars—particularly from Tamra
Barney, who accused Rossi of not really loving Cancer-ridden Jeff
Beitzel, but rather being his paid caretaker. She was also accused of dating
another man while she was engaged. “I‘ve never seen the reunion
show,” says Rossi. “I didn’t watch it.” Adds Smiley,
“I know what Gretchen went through, but we haven’t watched it
because it was just ridiculous. It was something that happened that should
never have been allowed to happen. It was out of control.” 

What total drama!!!!! No wonder reality TV shows are so popular...there's no way writers could even come up with this stuff if they tried! :P
