“After we got our scores, when we checked it and we rehearsed it, they told Jordan that she needed to move immediately after our scores because then they needed to announce tour.

The drama undeniably sparked a stir within the community, though many fans rallied behind the duo. Both Chiles and Sosa were quick to highlight that their bond is rooted in genuine respect and mutual admiration.
