Pop Culture Pulse Podcast
Caroline: So obviously, the first thing we need to talk about today is how the Aspen-Grey-Vivienne love triangle rumor has been shut down.
Jenna: What? By who?
Caroline: By all three of them. Grey and Aspen both posted hard launches on social media and?—
Jenna: So they’re officially together? How did I miss this?
Caroline: I had a ton of fans, like almost record numbers, tag me in stuff about it last night. Nobody tagged you?
Jenna: I didn’t see any tags about that…
Caroline: Hm. I guess they skipped over you and came right to me. But that’s beside the point. Can we pull the posts up?
Producer: On it. Here’s Grey’s.
On the screen is an Instagram post, posted by @ greyaldridge 13 hours ago. It’s Aspen and Grey on his motorcycle, her arms wrapped around his waist as both of them smile widely beneath their helmets. There’s no caption, but the post has 2.1 million likes and 9.9 thousand comments.
Jenna: Aw, that’s adorable. I’m so happy for them, I’ve been rooting for them from the start.
Caroline: Me too. And wait, look at Vivienne’s comment on that post.
The screen shifts to a comment left by @ VivienneKaravella reading, ‘I don’t know what kind of god you’re praying to to have pulled her but keep it up ’
Jenna: So she completely supports them? No possible room for questions?
Caroline: She also posted this to her story last night.
The screen shifts to an Instagram story, posted by @ VivienneKaravella 12 hours ago. It’s a plain black screen that reads: ‘I am not, have never been, nor will ever be, interested romantically in Grey Aldridge. We are FRIENDS and nothing more. It would take a special kind of saint to put up with him on the daily… @ Aspen I applaud you
Jenna laughs.
Jenna: Okay, so she’s definitely not interested.
Caroline: Nope. She seems almost offended that people would think that.
Jenna: I don’t know why. He’s the hottest guy alive, probably in the history of the world.
Caroline: I agree with you there, Jen. I don’t care if he was dumb as a rock, I’d still marry him in a heartbeat.
Jenna: Yeah, but then again you’re no Vivienne Karavella.
Caroline glares at Jenna.
Caroline: Let’s move onto Aspen’s post.
The screen turns to an Instagram post, posted by @aspen 13 hours ago. It’s a selfie of Aspen on the beach on the set of Golden Hour, Grey shirtless behind her in the water, jokingly flexing his muscles. Aspen captioned it: having so much fun at work! It currently has over 3 million likes and 12.4 K comments.
Caroline: And Vivienne commented “mom and dad” on that one. I think she’s really trying to separate herself from them as a couple to show support.
Jenna: Agreed. And side note, that picture is somehow even cuter than the last. I’m so happy they’re finally announcing the relationship to the public. I mean, we all knew anyway and they weren’t trying to hide it, but it's still nice to have a real confirmation of it.
Caroline: I feel the same, I love it when couples make their relationship official. That way no haters can comment, “they’re not together, you’re just drama mongering.”
Jenna: As if that’s not the whole point of this podcast.
Caroline: Exactly! Like don’t watch if you don’t want to hear us stir the pot and shit talk everyone.
Jenna: Actually, do continue hate-watching because we profit from it.
