Taylor Hale, the first Black woman to ever win Big Brother, didn’t have an easy path to victory. Week after week, she was torn down by other houseguests and it was her inherent resilience and propensity for forgiveness that started to change people’s opinions.
But someone who had her back from the beginning was fellow player Joseph Adbin with whom she formed a close friendship.
The former pageant queen, 27, and attorney, 25, exclusively sat down with Us Weekly to talk about the game and their relationship – and what the future may hold for the two, who clearly had a connection from the start.

Joseph tells Us, “I was trying to let her know in some aspect, just please stay hopeful. Keep your hopes up. … For me personally, I think Taylor’s hilarious. She is an introvert and so she does like to be alone, but when she would come out of her shell here and there, I was like, ‘OK, you can’t be funny and run away. I love to laugh so get back here.’ For
