The most recent season of Queer Eye saw Jonathan Van Ness (JVN) create a special bond with “hero” Angel Flores.
They later revealed on Instagram that they have become close friends with Flores, a 22-year-old transgender powerlifter and Olympic weightlifting coach.
The pair have been spending time together after the show, with Flores training helping to train Van Ness at the gym.
In an Instagram post Van Ness shared in January, she explained that they have been keeping in touch ever since Flores’ episode in Texas.
Alongside a series of candid pictures and videos, he wrote: “Angel appreciation post! Angel has been training me for a few months helping me keep myself strong and along the way she’s been joining us at gymnastics!
“This is a collection of a typical day at gymnastics except opening late Christmas presents and featuring the crazy gorgeous Austin sunrises and can we talk about the last slide with Angel landing a standing tuck!?
“I love you friend and thanks so much for being you!”
In a post-Queer Eye interview with Elle, Flores revealed that she is still together with her girlfriend, Katia Pineda, who was seen on the show.
She added that her father, who she reconnected with on the show, is happy to “help people” by answering any questions about having a trans family member.
