Kevin has come a long way from his humble beginnings. While he was lacking in the funds department, he was a breath of fresh air for many viewers since he was new to the scene. While Season 1 showed him learning about his culture and navigating the new world he's in, these days he's doing pretty well for himself.

For starters, Kevin has officially moved into his own place! "It's only like 500 square feet but it feels like a mansion to me," he shares. And he's ecstatic about leaving the roommate life behind.

Kelly and Andrew's relationship was one that had its share of ups and downs during Season 1. And many fans are wondering if the couple is on better terms.

Kelly opened up about their relationship, saying that they're basically taking things slow. "With Andrew's behaviour, I don't excuse it at all," she shares. "I think it's 100 percent wrong. After filming we took a good five-month or six-month break where we just focused on ourselves. Going to therapy individually and just learning about ourselves... now that we're back in communication and back seeing each other, it's just been night and day."

She has also become pretty close with Cherie and has managed to be civil with Anna. "Cherie has become a really good friend of mine," she tells Oprah Magazine. "We are plotting the marriage of our children."
