Jordan seemed to shut down the shippers, tweeting, “Aight y'all know wassup lmao 🤦🏾♂️ playing #safeword with @SteeloBrim who doesn't care about life and took the L hahaa.”
The new MTV show "SafeWord" is described on their site as “famous friends become frenemies through a series of fun and daring games.”
Michael was recently rumored to be dating social media influencer Ashlyn Castro, who posted a Snapchat pic of hands interlocked, tagging him.
In the past, Lupita has been coy about her dating life, telling Vogue, “You can ask, but you definitely won't get an answer. There have been rumors and rumors and rumors about my love life. That's the one area that I really like to hold close to my heart.”
Michael recently told WSJ Magazine that he was “dating, but ya know, technically single.”
