The Biggest Loser’s Rebecca Meyer is romancing fellow contestant North Carolina student Daniel Wright, 20. The 25-year-old student from Des Moines, Iowa — who was eliminated from the NBC weight loss challenge this week –revealed her newfound romance with “best friend” Daniel during an appearance on The Jay Leno Show Tuesday.

“Daniel was my best friend, is my best friend, and after leaving the show we talked for, like, five, six-hour conversations and then… he told me he had feelings,” she explained. “Daniel and I have gone through the same thing. I mean, he’s gone through an even more intense version of it, and I fell in love with my best friend.”
