BIG Brother star Vince Panaro is now back with his longtime girlfriend, Kelsey, after she left him for his involvement with Morgan Pope, The U.S. Sun has learned.
According to an insider, a “big caveat” for Kelsey rekindling with Vince, 34, is “forbidding” him from maintaining contact with Morgan, 33, outside of the Big Brother house.

As The U.S. Sun first reported in September, Kelsey had officially decided she was “done” with Vince while he was still in the middle of filming season 27.
However, photos that surfaced two days after the season 27 finale showed the couple running errands together around his hometown of Los Angeles.
At the time, an insider who knows the pair claimed that they were still “hashing things out” but not fully rekindled – and it appears that their time in person was a success, as they are now “back together.”
“They worked things out together in person when he was out of the house.
“He was able to explain his side of things, and Kelsey, knowing him better than anyone, understood where he was coming from.
“They’re still figuring out their future but as of right now, yes they are together,” a source claimed.
While they were able to work out their issues enough to get back together, it apparently didn’t come without some fine print.
“A big caveat on [Kelsey’s] end was that he did not keep in contact with Morgan, so he has not spoken to her at all since the season ended.

“Morgan has reached out, but he never got back to her.
“When the time is right, eventually he will, but he promised Kelsey he’d give some space between Morgan and himself,” they spilled.
BACK TO REALITY
For days after the season 27 finalists, Vince, Morgan, and winner Ashley Hollis, exited the Big Brother house, he remained MIA from the public.
Despite still keeping a quieter profile online, The U.S. Sun obtained photos of Vince while out with Kelsey that was taken two days after the finale.
In Vince’s first outing since coming in second on his season, he wore his signature beanie, a Malibu Brewing Co. T-shirt, and black skinny jeans.
He appeared solemn as he ran errands with Kelsey on Tuesday, September 30th, including heading to Sunlife Organics in Calabasas, CA, and hitting up a local bank later in the day.
Kelsey rocked a blue crop top and black biker shorts along with a baseball hat and sunglasses.
As the two walked together, they didn’t show any PDA – there was no hand holding or moments of embracing each other.
They appeared on friendly enough terms, chatting it up; however, there were several moments when they were caught having tense conversations.
Vince began dating Kelsey over seven years ago, but his connection with fellow contestant, Morgan, ultimately led to her calling off the relationship.
BIG TROUBLE
After joining the Big Brother house back in July, Vince immediately grew a close bond with fitness model Morgan.
Kelsey had to watch from home all season, which was three full months, as her boyfriend continued to “cross the line” more and more with Morgan.
Amongst the questionable actions are Vince declaring his love for Morgan, repeatedly sleeping in the same bed as her, crying in her arms, showering next to her, kissing her shoulders, and other touchy-feely behavior.
Their relationship became so strong that in the middle of the season, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Kelsey was “done” with Vince and felt “disrespected” by his behavior.
Vince learned the fate of his relationship while he was still on the Big Brother finale stage, a source claimed.
