Published on April 20, 2026 EDT "We had a flir-lationship," Roxxxy said on "All Stars 9" of her steamy texts with Vanjie.

Well, now we know someone tried to get those cookies from Vanessa Vanjie Mateo before Brooke Lynn Hytes.

A preview of Friday's episode of the reality competition series revealed that RuPaul's Drag Race icon Roxxxy Andrews' past lived up to the triple-X spelling of her name, before she and Vanjie competed against each other on All Stars 9.

Leave it to Jorgeous — who famously tweeted a nearly nude selfie at RuPaul before AS9 began — to turn up the heat, though, as the season 14 alum told her sisters that she "had a dream about Vanjie" the night before re-entering the Werk Room.

This jolted a part of Vanjie's memory, as she told the queens, "I remember the times when Roxxxy used to be very close to me," and that she knows "everybody be intertwining" — in the DMs, at least in this case.

"I was the original Brooke Lynn," Roxxxy joked, referencing Vanjie and Brooke's romance that blossomed on the set of season 11 in early 2019. The pair later explored a relationship after the show, but it didn't last.

"I just remember text messages and pictures," Vanjie recalled, with Roxxxy adding in a confessional that "it didn't work out" in the end.

"But y'all didn't actually hook up? Y'all just saw the pee-pees in the photos?" season 1 queen Shannel asked, back in the Werk Room. "We've been to the gallery — we didn't taste nothing!" Roxxxy said, laughing.

Vanjie clarified that she and Roxxxy "didn't date date," with Roxxxy calling their entanglement "a flir-lationship" online.

Entertainment Weekly has reached out for more information on Vanjie and Roxxxy's flirtation.

Vanjie has a storied past when it comes to on-air romances. She and Brooke addressed their playful Drag Race attraction at length during the season 11 reunion, with the episode revealing that the pair broke up months after filming wrapped. She would later entertain a flirtation with season 10 alum Kameron Michaels, whom she kissed on an episode of the Drag Race: Vegas Revue spinoff in 2020.

Drag Race production company World of Wonder also later stuck her in a mansion with 18 single men as she oversaw a competition between contestants vying to be her boyfriend on the Vanjie: 24 Hours of Love reality series.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9 continues Fridays on Paramount+.
