Josh "Bru" Brubaker is keeping his pact intact.

On July 21, the Circle star shared that he was in "throuple" with two castmates who formed an alliance with him on the hit Netflix show. 

"Two girls and me," he explained to host Alex Warren on the Locked in Podcast. "As we're still getting to know each other, I'm a midwestern boy—like values, family, all this stuff. I'll send you a birthday card when it's time. I was in throuple."

He added, "So, I got grouped with these two girls and it turned into it. The girls were both so forward and I'm just in the fetal position in the corner of my room like, 'Oh my god.' But you only get to talk to so many people that I'm not gonna blow that…I would've went home if I didn't have connections. So anyways, turned into the throuple. And it slowly descaled from that time when it was like ‘Oh my god…do these people like me' to where it was just we became really good friends on the show."

Bru went on to say that he remains "close friends" with the ladies. After the clip from his interview went viral, he commented on the podcast's TikTok video, "I should have set the context. A strategic hypothetical couple for a tv show."

And while Bru is setting the record straight about his "throuple," in December, he went public with his relationship with TikToker and YouTube star Anna Sitar. "You already know :)," she wrote to her more than 11 million followers on Dec. 7. Her post featured several cute clips of the couple dancing, cuddling and kissing. Bru told his nearly 4 million followers to "act shocked" as he shared several sweet snapshots of the pair."Texting my parents back in March," he wrote over the footage. "'Hey mom and dad, I met a fellow Michigander here in L.A.'"

While their fans were ecstatic about the news, it did not come as a complete shock to them as Bru and Anna had hinted they were together before taking their romance public.

Earlier that month, Anna shared a video captioned, "when you're in your 20s, in your dream city, making money doing what you love most & dating your internet crush."

And in November, she shared another TikTok video alluding to being off the market, writing, "When u were a single pringle and one day someone started texting u and never stopped." 

Editor's Note (July 26, 2022 at 10:47 AM ET): A previous version of this article suggested Bru was romantically involved with two women. It has been updated to clarify that his comment about a "throuple" was in reference to castmates on The Circle who formed an alliance with him.
