Malia White and Katie Flood's Friendship and Working Relationship
During the opening minutes of Episode 1 of Winter House Season 3, which you can check out by watching the video at the top of this post, a producer asks the twosome to "Tell [her] about your relationship."
"That's a good word, relationship," Malia responds with a laugh. "Because that's basically what we're in."
Katie agrees, adding, "Yeah, it's definitely codependency at this point."
In addition to being best friends, Katie and Malia have continued to "work together" following their Below Deck Med Season 5 days.
"We share an office, we share a cabin," Malia continues. "When we're not on the boat, we live in an apartment. Like, we pretty much are dating without the sex."
As they both added, they're still interested in getting to know new guys. Will either of them strike up a love connection on Winter House Season 3?
