ETreports that the pair have already said “I love you,” with Farley noting that she loved Carpinello “way before, like,falling in love with him, because I always wanted to see him succeed.”
“I just adore his company,” the reality star added. “Even if he doesn’t like something, he goes above and beyond and wants to experience it with me — watching like,Game of Thrones, or going to Disney or doing something fun and interesting. So it’s something I haven’t had, which I appreciate.”
