One of our favorite veteran cast members you’ll see this season is newly single Nany González. During the premiere episode, viewers watched as Nany kissed Bachelorette alum Chase McNary. However, the brunette beauty was also getting pretty flirtatious with ex-boo Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio.

“I was living in Arizona and he’s in Southern California. So we just had this cool relationship…it is what it is,” she revealed. While she didn’t go into details about what transpired between the two, she didn’t deny that it was more than just a friendship.
"I cut him off and stopped talking to him because I didn’t trust him," she explained further. "Then, he and I didn’t speak or see each other until our first season of The Challenge together, which was Rivals II."
While shooting Rivals II, the duo once again connected. "Since then, we’ve been cool," Nany added. "Here’s the thing about Johnny — and people can say what they want — we have fun together. He’s just a fun person to be around."

Johnny, the long-running MTV challenger, previously dated Olympic snowboarder Hannah Teter for five years before the two ended their relationship in 2017. Though he was most recently linked to Big Brother star and fellow challenger Natalie Negrotti in 2018, the two casually just dated before deciding to pull the plug on their relationship.
However, with both Nany and Johnny Bananas single again, we wonder if the two vets will spark a fire during the season.
Catch new episodes of The Challenge: War of the Worlds Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST on MTV.
