  • they’re just friends
  • She’s friends with so many BN men, I doubt she’s dating him.
  • yes lets assume they are dating just because they posted a pic together
  • I’m pretty sure they’re just friends and she’s his photographer.
  • I don’t think this is a thing, Sam has been Brandon’s photographer for a few years. I think they are just close friends.
