In recently surfaced videos and photos, originally obtained by DeuxMoi and shared on September 25th, the couple was spotted enjoying a nighttime visit to Disneyland over the weekend, closely walking together.

A follower on the account expressed their disapproval with the succinct statement, “I. Don’t. Like. This.” Another follower commented, “This just confirms that all those ‘rumors’ were accurate. Unpleasant.” Yet another follower added humorously, “We used to think she was just playing around with that ‘break up with your girlfriend because she’s bored’ song too. Awkward.”
