Lizzy & Kye are Already Like Husband & Wife
Lizzy Musi and Kye Kelly are not married and may not get married for a short while. However, this does not mean that they do not act like a married couple. They have been dating for quite some time now, so they must be getting more and more dependent upon one another. They even write sweet messages for each other on social media. In Kye Kelly’s birthday, Lizzy Musi shared a photo of them embracing on Instagram writing,
“I can’t picture going through life with anyone else but you.” She ended her message further saying, “You are my partner, my best friend, and the man I love” before wishing him a great happy birthday.”

Of course, being married does not mean lovey-dovey moments like this one. They also have little arguments like most married couples do, and they are not afraid to share that side of their relationship with their fans. In another video posted by Musi but shot by Kye, Lizzi is seen visibly in frustration. She is cleaning a Tupperware complaining that somebody needs to do some work around the house while Kye is coming up with excuses to leave.
Lizzy suspects that Kye is making the excuse of going to the store but instead is going hunting. Unlike most wives, Lizzy is actually jealous of the fact that she too is an avid hunter.
“If I can’t hunt, you can hunt,” she can be heard saying as Kye makes his way out the door.”
