The captivating connection between RuPaul’s Drag Race UK stars Catrin Feelings and Tayris Mongardi has reached a bittersweet conclusion. Their playful dynamic throughout season seven sparked fervent speculation among fans, hinting at a romance that many desperately hoped would blossom.
From the earliest episodes, a clear chemistry simmered between Catrin and Tayris, manifesting in witty banter and undeniable flirtation. This became a central, beloved storyline, captivating viewers with its charm and genuine feel.
The tension reached a peak during the season finale when Catrin revealed a secret: a kiss shared during Rusical week, a moment that occurred before Tayris’s elimination. This confession only intensified the desire among fans to know if their connection extended beyond the stage.
Now, the answer has arrived, delivered directly by Catrin herself. In a recent post, she confirmed that while a relationship did develop after filming, it ultimately ran its course.
“After the show, we both dated for a few months and in June of this year, we broke up,” Catrin shared, addressing the countless inquiries from devoted viewers. The news undoubtedly disappointed those who had invested in their potential love story.
However, Catrin was quick to reassure fans that the split was amicable. There’s “no beef,” she playfully clarified, adding a characteristic touch of humor: “Unfortunately, we found long distance to be a bit tricky and train tickets to be very expensive!”
In a lighthearted request, Catrin and Tayris jokingly asked for condolences to be sent in the form of cash. This playful sign-off underscored the warmth and respect that remains between them despite the end of their romantic involvement.
Tayris has not yet publicly commented on the situation, leaving fans to rely on Catrin’s account. The news has prompted an outpouring of emotion from the show’s dedicated fanbase.
Many expressed their sadness at the breakup, while others speculated about the role of production in fostering the connection. The reality is, like many relationships forged in the intense environment of the show, the challenges of distance proved insurmountable.
This isn’t the first time a promising romance from the Drag Race universe has faded. Previous couples, like Actavia and Charra Tea from season six, have also navigated the complexities of post-show relationships, ultimately choosing to part ways.
Despite the heartbreak for some fans, the spirit of Drag Race UK continues. Season seven winner Bones has already expressed her enthusiasm for a potential return to the competition, stating she’d participate “if there’s a fee!”
