Biggest Loser: Kaylee Kinikini dating Vance Jackson, gets first kiss
Love is in the air on Season 11 of NBC’s The Biggest Loser, and the producers are working overtime to keep us confused!
On the April 26th episode, after Kaylee was eliminated, she announced that she was dating someone that we might “recognize”. With the edit she was getting, the viewers were waiting with bated breath for her to say Austin Andrews, but she revealed it was really Vance, who barely had a flicker of screentime!

Kaylee Kinikini is in the latest issue of OK Magazine with Vance Jackson talking about their love affair. Vance says was smitten with Kaylee at the auditions, and kept his torch burning for her. He got a second chance with Kaylee when he and his mom Leann got to return on episode 13 to redeem themselves and get back on the ranch. Although neither of the Jacksons lost enough wait to compete, Vance had scored Kaylee’s digits (and her heart.)
After Kaylee went home to Idaho, new beau Vance continued calling and texting her. Their first date was arranged around a workout session in Utah with Kaylee’s teammate Justin Pope.They’ve been keeping up their long-distance romance from two hours away ever since. The couple has together lost a whopping 150 lbs so far. (Kaylee dropped 73 lb, while Vance burned off 77 lb.)
Not only did Kaylee score a boyfriend from her time on the show, but before Vance the formerly self-conscience girl had never been kissed!
