Delainey had some trouble reaching Brandon at first.

As Delainey told The Sun, getting hold of Brandon wasn't the easiest task, but she had hoped he would come around. 

"I was hoping he would want to come around. I tried to reach out to him a couple of times," Delainey said. "I had reached out to his mom and then his family. His manager contacted me back and then Brandon finally met us."

As Delainey explained, she and Brandon met up in August 2020, when Quincy was around 3 months old. It looks like they've been co-parenting ever since. 

The Florida Gulf Coast University graduate and former occupational therapy student told the outlet that Brandon's absence made her want to focus more on having a healthy pregnancy. Her current aim is to create a peaceful environment for the baby. 

Asked about what will happen next in Season 4 of Siesta Key, Delainey said that she hoped viewers would get to see how she and Brandon learn to be parents together. 

"Us being supportive of each other and learning how to be parents together," she said. "Maybe we'll see a little bit of that."

"I'm proud of how far you've come in Quincy's life," Delainey told Brandon. "I taught you how to change his diaper, kind of giving him a bottle a little bit." 

"I'm new to this," Brandon replied. "I wasn't there for the whole of the pregnancy, the first couple of months he was alive and I don't want you to take my [being] new to this as I'm not prioritizing it or I'm uncomfortable I'm just new and I'm trying to bond with him."

As Brandon explained, adjusting hasn't been an easy task for him. But Delainey assured him that she was happy to talk to him about everything, as they now have a lifelong bond. 

"You can talk about anything," she said. "We are friends for life now."
