Parade<\/a> published on Friday, August 7, Lyric opened up about her time on the iconic reality series and gushed about it bringing some love into her life.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m just so grateful to have had this experience. I met Rome, and the one thing that was getting me through this week was the fact that I could talk to Rome outside of here, and I\u2019m just so excited to do that,\u201d Lyric told the outlet of her eviction.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere during the interview, she revealed when she really caught feelings for Rome because, despite being labeled a \u201cshowmance,\u201d it was more than what went down on camera.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I met Rome, we clicked immediately. He was such a gentleman from the get-go. He made it clear that he was interested in me,\u201d she gushed, adding that they shared similar family values after watching each of their parents be married for almost 30 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it sounds crazy, but when you know, you know. And so when I met Rome, I knew that something special was there,\u201d she continued, adding that she knew the potential of their real-life romance could throw their individual gameplay. \u201cBut doing that in a house full of 16 people who are out to get you, and Rome being so athletic and a huge target in the house, that was hard for me. Because I knew if I associate myself with this guy, this is a sinking ship. I will be used as a pawn in this game to get at Rome. But honestly, do you see him?! I did not care. I was like, \u2018You\u2019re gorgeous. I really like you, and let\u2019s kiss.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
And kiss they did, whether it was on the BB live feeds or during Rome\u2019s major declaration of love ahead of his eviction a few weeks ago. Upon her eviction, Rome even reassured fans that there was no bad blood between him and Lyric after she voted him out in an unexpected betrayal.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou did AMAZING @lyricmedeiros I\u2019m so proud to be your cheerleader through this! I can\u2019t wait to see you,\u201d he wrote alongside a clip on his Instagram Stories when she was voted out on August 6. She reposted the sentiment with a heart emoji and exclamation points.<\/p>\n

She wasn\u2019t shy about her plans to see Rome, either, telling Parade, \u201cOh, I\u2019m calling him immediately when I am able to get my phone. Immediately! And I\u2019m telling him how much I love him and how much I miss him. I hope that he\u2019s in Hawaii right now waiting for me with [their main alliance, Jason De Puy].\u201d<\/p>\n
