Big Brother’s Jeff & Jordan: Officially Together!
For three months in the Big Brother house, theirs was the Showmance That Wasn’t. Jeff and Jordan had a chemistry that was undeniable but perplexing — although they made an adorable couple, their relationship seemed stuck at a perpetual slow boil.
Turns out getting back to the real world was just what they needed to turn up the heat because not only did BB 11 winner Jordan walk away with half a million dollars, she also walked out of the house with a best-friend-turned-boyfriend.
“Yes we are!” Jordan Lloyd, 23, tells PEOPLE when asked if she and Jeff Schroeder, 30, are finally an item. “We never really talked about it. It just kind of happened.”
The champ and America’s Favorite Player have been inseparable since the finale. For ad salesman Jeff, being away from the cameras and the competition opened his eyes to a different side of the small-town waitress who ended up capturing his heart.
“I liked her on the show, that was obvious,” he tells PEOPLE, “but after the show ended I liked her even more. I get in trouble when I say that, because Jordan is like, ‘You didn’t like me on the show, and now you like me!?’ but what I mean is that I like her even more now that I see who she is outside of the BB house.”
That includes what Jordan has decided to do with her newfound wealth, which is to stand by her pre-show promise and buy her mother a home. “Right after the show,” she says, “I got on the Internet, but I couldn’t find anything, and to make matters worse, my mom was being so picky. But I finally found something, and when my mom looked at it she fell in love with it!”
Another effect of Jordan’s run on the show, her newfound celebrity, came into play when sitting down with the builders of the house. “We closed on Wednesday,” she tells PEOPLE, “and I had put an offer on the house that was lower than what they were asking, and they took it because they were fans of the show, and they knew who I was. They just wanted an autograph, not even an autographed picture!”
And what does a new Lloyd family home mean for the happy couple? Well, for the first time in years, Jordan, who unabashedly admitted on national television to being forced to share a bedroom with her mother, finally has four walls to call her own. “I got my bed back!” she says. “My bed was at my best friend Chelsea’s house, and now I have that back for my room.”
After being locked up together for three months, and non-stop side-by-side, it’s hard for the pair to say that things have moved fast, but in the short period since season 11 ended, there have been trips to each other’s hometowns and meet-the-parents moments, although to these BB veterans, those weren’t big feats.
“I thought that the biggest hurdle in a relationship was taking a dump in front of each other,” Jeff says with a laugh. “We cleared that in the BB house. As far as the relationship goes we have a leg up. We’ve fast forwarded a year!”
As for whether or not things have gotten intimate, or to use Jordan’s bizarre euphemism, whether or not “booger” is in their immediate future, the Southern belle plays it close to her chest, and says with a laugh, “I think he’s waited long enough.” –Reagan Alexander

Thanks kcphilly for posting the article from people....you saved me the trouble on that one! :tup:
Here's one from Soap Opera Digest:
BROTHERs In Arms
— By Devin Owens
Shortly after winning her big prize on BIG BROTHER Season 11, Jordan Lloyd and her fellow competitor Jeff Schroeder taped guest-starring appearances on B&B. Digest caught up with couple at the CBS studio to find out about their first acting experience together and if they are still romantically linked.
Soap Opera Digest: Jordan, you were one of three houseguests that lasted the longest on BIG BROTHER. How's it feel to be out of seclusion?
Jordan: Love it, love it! I'm so glad that I'm out. I was there for 72 days and I was so ready to get out. It's nice to have people around again.
Digest: Are you both getting recognized in public?
Jordan: When we were walking around in L.A. yesterday, people were coming up and saying, "Jeff and Jordan! Oh, my God, we love you!" It was so nice.
Jeff: We just went to Vegas for an event and it was crazy. It was a mob scene so we're just soaking up our 15 minutes of fame.
Jordan: We know in a week or two, people aren't going to know who we are anymore.
Digest: Are you still a couple?
Jeff: It's still going.
Jordan: So far, so good!
Digest: Jeff, you scored $25,000 and a trip to Hawaii as America's Favorite Houseguest. Will you be taking Jordan?
Jeff: We're still working on that. We might have another trip in the works.
Jordan: He might take his mom to Hawaii and we'll just go somewhere else.
Jeff: Our own little vacation.
Digest: How did this B&B gig happen?
Jordan: They contacted BIG BROTHER and asked us if we wanted to do this.
Jeff: I was like, "Sure!" I was all in. I didn't expect anybody to remember us after the show. This has been great. I'm just riding the wave.
Digest: Ever watch soaps before?
Jeff: Here and there. My mom and grandma loved GUIDING LIGHT, so I remember when that would be on.
Jordan: And everybody has heard of BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL.
Jeff: So, of course, I'm going to take advantage of their offer to come on.
Digest: You're both dressed up for Donna and Justin's 1980s flashback. Do you think people would recognize you in that big hair, Jordan?
Jordan: Probably not. I look completely different. I was born in 1986 so I never had hair like this. My aunt is 39 and I remember watching her get ready back then and I how she made her hair big and wore blue eye shadow. My grandparents still have her room exactly the way after she left for college so she still has all her '80s things in there. I stole some of her earrings.
Digest: Has this experience given you acting aspirations?
Jordan: I would like to do hosting or make appearances but I can't act, for sure. I don't think I could ever lose my accent.
Jeff: I've done commercials a little bit before I got on BIG BROTHER so I'm used to acting a little bit but as far as acting in a series like this, I would have to take it really slow. My dream job would be hosting and I love to travel so if The Travel Channel wanted me, that would be great. To see the world and get paid for it would be my all-time dream job.
Digest: Were you glad you had just a short little scene?
Jordan: I am because I was really nervous. When they first asked us, I thought, "I hope they just want me to stand there." Jennifer [Gareis, Donna] was so wonderful and gave me tips. It's so easy for her.
Jeff: I wasn't nervous until I botched my one line and said "Donna Lewis" instead of "Donna Logan". After that, I started getting nervous because I didn't want people to think, "What are these two idiots doing here?" [Laughs]
Digest: What's next on the agenda for you guys?
Jeff: Home.
Jordan: We finally get to go home.
Digest: Where's that?
Jordan: Charlotte, North Carolina.
Jeff: Chicago for me, so we're splitting up!
Digest: So, it's a long-distance relationship now.
Jeff: Here we go.
Jordan: I know.

Thanks KC and Will.... aren't they the totally most adorablest (I know, not a word) couple?????
I just can't get enough of hearing about/seeing them.
I wonder what they're up to now.... are they back to their respective hometowns??? Maybe Jordan could move to Chicago (if she could give up the warm NC weather).... and go to school there? Or maybe they'll get some good offers. I hope they have agents... or is BB their agent for now?? Someone somewhere along the line said they wished they would get a show like Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey did.... I hope not. It would be the kiss of death.
I just want them to be happy..... (together, of course) I feel like the mother duck !!

Yes they are both back home but Jordan is coming to Chicago this weekend to attend a charity event with Jeff. And sometime in November they both are going to Florida to visit Casey.
