[@ruthalex19]

Look at Val being jealous 😂

[@nessi0955]

ruthalex 😂I like that lol

[@nikkilargo]

It was adorable lol! I think he's used to his partners being smitten by him, hehe.

[@greimalkin]

no he ain't jealous he's like a parent

[@moviequeen5101]

Val is acting older brother

[@translucentheart27]

Ice Bear Val is only 31 and Bonner is 30, chill

[@nataliepennington8608]

I need to know your address? where you're going on a date? menu? Val bout to show up at Bonners place with a shot gun LMAO he cracks me up!!

[@vanillavirtue]

Natalie Pennington The fact that he asked for the menu tho 🤣

[@nataliepennington8608]

Ayane Nina he wants a free meal 😉

[@caileysuitelifee]

She's just joking 😂. Val and her have more genuine chemistry and connection .Mani would never say about her crush eagerly on national tv or interviewes she never admits like that she's a private personal gal it's def not bonnner she had to reply saying "yes " ..she's too nice

[@MaterialGirlBarbie]

That's true. She wouldn't even reveal her crush on the show during the Q&A with Simone.

[@caileysuitelifee]

WXTCH HOP she did reveal crushes like Allan bonner ,but didn't admit to the real one

[@lovedog49507]

What is going on ? Is Normani serious ?

[@JJ-fq5nx]

Lets all just pray that she is joking

[@kimgedits]

True! I am fan of her and the band since 2012 and she is really private like you said nobody know her boyfriend (who was Dinah cousin) from 2014 because she tell to nobody she was dating him I never see that date after they break up in 2015 so yeah you know her good she is probably joking I hope she is joking lol if she not this will surprise me because I bet my ass she has a crush on Val and he is more her type than Bonner I am 100% sure but yeah I am not on her mind.

[@vdw-ox7rb]

No, Normani and Val need to be couple. Even Julienne spotted how intuned they are together. I think she is afraid to go there because they have became so close.

[@millennial4840]

vdw842003 no...Val seems like the player type

[@rashadv6283]

At first, I thought that! But Val seems to look at her as a sister...Val just brings so much chemistry and passion to the dance floor anyone he dances with looks like a couple

[@vdw-ox7rb]

I just think they are going to real good friends. They were flirting alot in the beginning but maybe they thought it was best to remain friends.

[@exoelitist]

Stop. Valmani being a couple is completely unrealistic.

[@nothlithawk777]

+Arden Everest Why do you care so much if people ship them lol. No need to be so aggressive. Bonner and Normani is even less realistic, since they have nothing in common. At least Normani and Val share many interests and hobbies, and they both fit each other's general type based on what they've said in the recent past; so even if they aren't dating, it's not "completely unrealistic" to think that they could in the future, no harm in shipping.

[@salometulayworship3922]

ohhh, this girl knows how to pull his button. you got it bad , val. lol

[@Ethereally_present]

Salome Tulay First Demo ikr 🙄, he is making all these excuses as to why Normani shouldn't or can't go on a date with Bonner. He is really messing with us, it's irritating me why he can't just come out and say it.

[@alyssacoaye1104]

I don't understand. Why don't you guys like Bonner? I mean I prefer Val too but the comments about Bonner are kinda harsh.

[@iheartjared74]

Alyssa Coaye right? I think Bonner seems like a good guy. People are saying awful things like he looks abusive like he hits women... based on what? tf outta here some people are disgusting and cruel for no reason

[@michannel7478]

Alyssa Coaye It's not that I don't like him. I just think he's a little too boring for Normani. Other than that he's probably a cool guy.

[@DebMartin13]

He very attractivee

[@nini_da1]

Alyssa Coaye man i don't understand like maybe it's real y all don't know cause if picture start coming out of them kissing and stuff after the shows long over with then half of them gonna be like oh I ship them or I've ship them sent dwts like...come on now

[@nini_da1]

Mi Channel if he's too boring normani can bring him out of his shell cause she's an outgoing person plus people act different around certain people like you never know

[@lolabuns9753]

forget both of these guys. why not date that cute fill in dancer Allen. now there is a cutie

[@Ethereally_present]

lola buns YES, Alan for the win. I honestly think Alan got more of a chance to be in a serious relationship with her then Val and Bonner combined.

[@caileysuitelifee]

Allan is not manis type and they dont have chemistry.

[@caileysuitelifee]

you can tell the stronger chemistry connection between val and mani which is genuine .whatever happens if normani is happy , then im happy

[@blinkngnl5101]

she said Alan was cute tho

[@exoelitist]

forever dclove Lmao, you don't know what Mani's type is.

[@Solangel1989]

Everyone is about valmani and Bonner and Normani and I'm here like Alan is bae.. almani all the way!

[@Ethereally_present]

Solangel St.Louis me too girl, me too. Alan for the win but I still want her to go on this date.

[@aaliyahbrooks1073]

Solangel St.Louis Same Team Almani .

[@berrybuinda6916]

No. She should date me instead. Those two ain't no good for her. Bermani!!!

[@eduardobernardi2754]

Val and Mani are so cute! Val is so protective over her haha

[@ashOB_13]

Val you can't do this to Normani. If u like her just tell and stop being unnecessarily jealous. She cant wait for you forever.

[@exoelitist]

Ashley Osei Bonsu He doesn't even like her like that.

[@angiehems5802]

Ashley Osei Bonsu Dude chill out you don't know that

[@lovedog49507]

Really ? You have no clue what you are talking about. It would nice if you swallow your words.

[@ekarshat3108]

you think he reads the comments? 😂😂

[@ashOB_13]

😂ikr

[@antoniad3904]

I Personally Think Val & Normani Would Be SO FUCKING CUTEEE TOGETHERRRRRR

[@kaylaalyak3756]

I really cannot believe all this started with my shipping comment on that live interview with Bonner 😍😍😍

[@lcrenshaw333]

I pray VAL shut this date down Monday and surprise NORMANI with his true feelings. I have watched every interview. They went from finishing each other sentences, to this week being a little distance towards each other. The interview where Normani was saying that it's a bittersweet moment for her because it's the end...The look on Val's face tells it all. So, yes the show producers are trying to create a show romance between Bonner and Nomani...BUT IF MY THOUGHTS ARE CORRECT VAL WILL SHUT IT DOWN...A ARIES MAN DO NOT LIKE TO BE OUTDONE...THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE LAST WORD.

[@nini_da1]

look at Val being the daddy yassss

[@blkd25]

The look Normani gave at 0:30, DAMN!

[@carolinagirl1864]

Someone send Bonner a message and tell him to send some roses to the studio for her this week!

[@Ethereally_present]

Linda Diane omg yes! That'll be so sweet and I can already see Val eye roll 🙄😂.

[@JerseyLoveee]

Okay Val is not jealous at all lmaooo

[@witchplease9695]

I thought Bonner was corny and sketchy at first but he seems sweet, and if she genuinely likes him than I support her. Valmani is still my OTP though

[@brendajimenez4846]

Guys please it's OK. She seems to like Bonner too and the way he talked about her was so sweet. Please just be happy. It's a date. I can't believe some people are telling him to back off! She's the one who wanted him in the trio! People bullying him are no better than those who bullied Normani. If they're happy isn't that what matters? Their happiness? It's alright it's their life not ours. They're friends too. Let's just try to be a little nicer to each other

[@brendajimenez4846]

b p lol exactly. My only point in this was BULLYING. Bullying in even the littlest of way is not cool. People putting her in those photos are either super sick or just plain stupid.

[@sablesenegal9895]

Normani should just keep her romantic life private .cool if she dates Bonner but as a young lady about to turn 21 she should keep her dating options open.val is being so overprotective like a big brother it's so funny and lame at the same time!but good luck to everybody .normani is a true inspiration to everyone with her performances and I'm very proud of her!

[@kimgedits]

Sable Senegal I think most of celebrities want they romantic life keep private but is not like that in the Hollywood industry they always found a way to show they boyfriend or girlfriend is hard to keep your privacy when you are famous but yeah Mani is extra private with her dates or family.

[@nathanielz6136]

I loved that Val "reminded" Bonner what was MORE IMPORTANT at that time! "...Not this week..., but maybe the week after next..." He needs to see her badges, where is she going, what kind of men will be there...he's almost becoming her father. X- ) Val ain't ready to let her go...JUST yet.

[@farrahrah4073]

overprotective Val is my fav😂😂

[@Cornishfamilly]

First of all I know Normani friends Val bc she even knows he has had a numerous amounts of partners and feel like he would have to prove himself to her she has watched the show for years she knows how it goes. Plus it's just a date..... She's young yet strong and Bonner seems sweet but we all K kw how that goes. Val has experience and has had slot of girl friends I wouldn't take Val serious either.

[@aaliyahbrooks1073]

Prefer Normani with Alan .

[@MaterialGirlBarbie]

I believe she only said yes because she was put on the spot... "Cuz, if this is genuine? Normani. Girl. No.

[@Ethereally_present]

WXTCH HOP Why not? Let my girl breathe ! 😂

[@kimgedits]

WXTCH HOP Right she is joking her real crush is Val 😂

[@jessicaedwards8066]

So because Bonner was not a good dancer, he automatically sucks as a person too and doesn't deserve to go on a date with her? Jesus Christ some people are ridiculous.

[@kimgedits]

Jessica I don't think he is a good dude like Mani say he look really like a player I don't want this for Mani because she is too classy for players but she is 21 she need to have good time but Val would be better for her okay Val love flirting with women but he seem to respect them more than Bonner but Yea I don't know him personally he don't seem like a serious guy bu hopefully she is joking damm I know her since 2012 and if she not joking I will ...

[@lovedog49507]

I agree. I am hoping she does not go on a date with Bonner.

[@lizb1077]

She doesn't see Val as more than just a friend. She has made that clear many times now. I think she likes Alan and it's cute.

[@berrybuinda6916]

butterscotch trampoline who's this Alan?

[@lizb1077]

Berry Buinda Alan Bersten

[@nini_da1]

Oh my god normani just said yas!!! I'm shooked she knows a good thing when she sees it yasss girl

[@katieadlard9807]

Val is like an older brother to Normani and I love it!! He's so protective 😂

[@Abymilde]

she's so gorgeous, I'm so done rn. UGH!

[@nini_da1]

she's like I turn 21 at the end of this month so we can get It crackin

[@blkd25]

That's exactly how I took it... especially, after that look she gave him lol

[@normanijauregui4062]

LOVE HER SO MUCH

[@AngelHxze]

I never knew she responded to that lmfaooooooooooo

[@tyjaiharp4000]

Yes Normani is my bae I love her

[@daikadouze452]

val is jealous

[@daikadouze452]

i want it them to be together instead

[@justinmyframe]

Val is funny 😂😂

[@championsareessential]

Normani....do you. Go out with Bonner girl!

[@Ethereally_present]

Ms Tortola Francis RIGHT?! I mean people are acting like he asked her to marry him. People "Issa date," chill, calm down.

[@millennial4840]

Ms Tortola Francis Team Bonner!!

[@kiira0823]

Normani has already said that Val is too much of a friend to her for her to even look at him that way. Bonner's cute but he's damn near 30, but Normani and Allen? I def ship them, plus Allen is clearly obsessed with her

[@Handorgeous]

I'm glad she said yes to Bonner. They will make a lovely couple.

[@jones2277]

i love how he said, ma'am. hot.

[@breeleiyattah3892]

Is Val Jealous???

[@707ladytee]

Shoot, Val's not having that lol

[@liliansadowski4523]

Finally OMG I SHIP NORMANI AND BONNER🙏😍😎😘😍😘

[@trollasaur3012]

0:13 she was like "muverfucker dont spoil my chance at getting piped all the way down by a cowboy you fool shut up"

[@Claulma1999]

Everyone wants Val to get with every partner he has... calm down everyone.. they're 11 years apart let her date someone closer to her age .. max five years 😓

[@JJ-fq5nx]

Claudia Loinaz but Bonner is turning 30 years old next month. And he asked Normani out🤔 so why cant we ship Val with her?

[@Claulma1999]

Jennifer Martina I never said she should date Bonner either.. there's too much of an age gap ..

[@KnotMe17]

Claudia Loinaz gofh... age difference my foot... she is 21 we can't tell an adult what age group they should date...

[@kimgedits]

She is like Beyonce they need older men because they both are mature women.

[@lovedog49507]

Time to watch porn. Instead of listening to your nonsense.

[@RobertJohnson-ci5wx]

it is genuine!! Normani will date Bonner!!----but will it last?---only time will tell!!

[@aliyahandmariah1884]

We dont know anything about bonner and normani chemistry or her's in val. The only thing we see it's what the show us. We dont have any clue what is going on behind the scene. Any one she be with it's fine it's her life and her decision. As fans we should just be happy for her no matter who she picks. Or be with like i said it's her life not ours.

[@nini_da1]

I surely @ her on the video when it was first out so...

[@thesheranime]

I still don't buy this Bonner thing. The person that said she doesn't kiss & tell hours before including Bonner in her dance. The person that avoided Twitter until the day she had to use it after he asked her out. The person that has been extremely quiet about their dating life... You know what... At least she's not being shipped with her group mates. And, if they go on a date, the breakdown of people that very much against it will be funny.

[@thesheranime]

b p Yeah I saw that. Some Laurmani shippers were like that too. Just a little more low-key. They disappeared​ in sadness after Lauren had her drama.

[@thesheranime]

b p her & Ty

[@thesheranime]

b p She & Ty are actually together. So... yeah that's why they were/are sad.

[@jewlzgand2091]

obviously this was done in fun.. BUT ... who cares if they go out? they could just be friends. u can tell both were put on the spot.. one date does not mean they gonna get married & if they go that way.. it's none of ur business. but regardless u all need to chill out. besides he said really sweet things abt her. I hate to tell u all. but you have NO SAY in how she lives her life & who she dates.

[@SageWolf219]

Honestly I'm still stuck on Val and Zendaya being together but I wouldn't mind if he was with Normani. They have a lot of chemistry

[@vanillavirtue]

I ship normani and bonner but val being overprotective is cute as hell 😙

[@CarlosLopezamI]

Y'all know Val is 31 and Normani is only 20 right???? 👀

[@tina-vm7qd]

Carlos Lopez yea and Bonner is almost 30 so?

[@KnotMe17]

Carlos Lopez and... my dad is like 9 years older than my mom.. and they are still in love so what is ur point... they are both adults

[@kimgedits]

Carlos Lopez Beyonce was 20 when she meet Jay Z and he was 33 now they will have 3 beautiful child my parents are 10 years gap too and we are 5 child and they are always married just like Beyonce and Jay Z age don't matter only you are both legal.

[@tiffanyskinner8450]

Carlos Lopez she's over 18 so it's legal 😊

[@caileysuitelifee]

Normani is not 12 years old , she is a mature wise 21 year old woman who deserves a MAN . she is more suitable like that . and vall is her type they have strong and genuine connection and chemistry which no one can deny , they are holding it back wait till the show is over and youlll seee

[@alexisyoutube621]

oh val

[@lovedog49507]

This is a joke. I know it now.

[@DeeNice681]

These dudes are like a decade older than her!

[@sarahoh7593]

Look at jealous Val😂 he so handsome

[@sarahoh7593]

Normani... I turn 21 at the end of the month... ((insert smile)) 😂😂😂😂 I absolutely love it

[@danielaadriana-praulinya.5912]

SHIP

[@jeromeseguin3530]

Omg Val is so jealous

[@lovedog49507]

Nooooo

[@mmgpa2580]

So cuteeeeeee

[@flexjordi3960]

I can't believe this. She's just joking y'all, no way she's gonna date bonner. Manis taste is meeeeeh.

[@josephineouano9314]

No way 😡

[@AnonymousMusa]

Ja, Ja the joke stop be funny last week so

[@idk-vn3ee]

Maybe I'm wrong but Bonner Bolton has a bad past and he could pull some shit on her , and if you insists on dating please be careful he touched woman before search it hopefully he isn't as bad as I think , take care of are baby girl Normani, and if this does go the way I think it will just know I'm single

[@meekyw.4010]

Val's too old for her, he was definitely reacting like a big brother

[@susanreese9894]

I swear Normani is the new black Jennifer Grey

[@56sonya]

I don't think she prefers any of the guys,she seems like she would only go for black guys,she gives me that vibe,you can just tell with some black women.I think she sees Val as a good friend though.

[@Ethereally_present]

56sonya Naw, she's definitely not that type of black girl. If that was the case, she wouldn't have a crush in Bonner. Also, she is very open minded as you can see, her family included.

[@782anon]

Normani dated a Polynesian.

[@nothlithawk777]

Her biggest celebrity crush is Aaron Taylor Johnson, and she's also admitted to having crushes on Channing Tatum and Justin Bieber. And her longest relationship was with a Polynesian guy, so...I don't think she cares about dating within her race, and neither does Val. I don't see Bonner being with a black woman though.

[@ispy368]

56sonya...your vibes are off...Dinah cousin wasn't black....chemistry don't see color..

[@greimalkin]

don't attack me people but she looks kind of like Jennifer Lawrence
