American Idol’s Bobby Bones is riding out the coronavirus pandemic with new girlfriend Caitlin Parker.
During a conversation with PeopleNow’s Jeremy Parsons, the TV personality said Parker has been a “champ” throughout their time together at home.
“What I've learned about her is she should not put up with someone like me,” Bones, 40, said after sharing that he can be a “baby” when not feeling well.
When Parsons asked about any other quirks the couple has discovered about each other during the pandemic, Bones admitted he does have one annoying habit.
“I love playing PlayStation 4,” he said. “I’ve never been a gamer, but I thought I’m going to have to have something to do so I bought a PS4.”
In an Instagram video he posted this week, Bones alluded to Parker’s frustrations with his new gaming habit. The video features Parker doing a TikTok dance while he remains glued to the TV.
“She thinks I don’t pay attention to her when I play PS4,” he captioned the post. “Truthfully, I don’t remember her being in the room here.”
Bones also opened up about how he and his girlfriend met — and how they decided to stick together through the coronavirus pandemic.
“I haven’t had a girlfriend in years,” Bones said, before sharing that he met Parker through friend and fellow Dancing With the Stars alum, Lauren Alaina, during the last season of DWTS.
“I met her and we didn’t really hit it off the first time we met. We were just like ‘Hi, what's up?’ and then we started talking on Instagram like a month later,” he shared of Parker, who he said works in personal relations for ABC.
When they finally decided to get together, an awkward situation arose: Bones thought they were on a date but Parker did not. Luckily, that didn’t stop him from securing a second date.
“We went out, and then we went out again, and we were luckily at the point in our relationship where it was like ‘Hey, do you just want to quarantine together?’” Bones said. “So I came here from Los Angeles and I've been here for several weeks and it’s been great.”
