Rumors began circulating that Dixie might have been involved with Josh Richards, a prominent creator and co-host of 'Barstool’s BFFs' podcast after the two were spotted multiple times.
This unexpected pairing generated a variety of reactions from fans. There were speculations that Noah Beck may not have been pleased with the situation, as indicated by his social media activity at the time, as per Dexerto.
Dixie and Josh were frequently seen together on multiple occasions, particularly fueling romance rumors when they attended the Super Bowl alongside Charli and Landon Barker, which seemingly appeared to be a double date.
Josh, however, debunked these rumors in an interview, saying he and Dixie were “just friends.”
But months later, it seems he’s changed his tune, as told in a recent episode of the 'BFFs' podcast.
Co-host Dave Portnoy brought up their rumored romance in an October 19 episode of the show, which came up during the latest season of 'The D’Amelio Show' on Hulu.
“This is before you two were kind of even messing around," Bri asked.
Josh said, "This would be right during, this was before February.”
“What do you mean, they were [messing around]?” Josh said, “Is this breaking news? I’m pretty sure that’s been said millions of times, no?” retorted.
The trio went back and forth for some time before coming to the conclusion that Josh had, at some point, confirmed that he and Dixie had gotten involved.
Portnoy then said, “Alright so, headline: Josh and Bri confirm that Josh was hooking up with Dixie back around the Super Bowl,” Josh then said, "Okay."
