Though they got shipped as on-screen girlfriend-and-boyfriend, the duo affirmed that they do not want on-screen romance. Melissa even confirms that she and Omar are like brother and sister. In his January 2019 interview with Global News, Zeeko said:
It’s funny, everyone that’s not there for the entire ride wants [the romance]. A new director will come in and be like, ‘Maybe you guys are flirting in this scene?’ We’re always like, ‘No.’ I don’t know how Dick works in that realm. Right now, we’re definitely not, and you’ll see that in the upcoming episodes we’re establishing different things. But there are some moments coming up that Twitter is going to love.
Likewise, some of their fans even agree with their viewpoints of having no on-screen romance.
