Bobby Berk is ready to address rumors that theres been a rift between him and fashion designer Tan France , his Queer Eye co-star.
In a Vanity Fair interview published online Thursday, the interior designer said that he wanted to extinguish speculation surrounding their alleged feud, though he conceded that he had at one point hit a rough patch with France.
I want people to know that Tan and Iwe will be fine, he said.
Tan and I had a moment, he later added. There was a situation, and thats between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show. It was something personal that had been brewingand nothing romantic, just to clarify that.
Some fans of the Netflix reality makeover series had suggested in November that things between the Fab Five co-stars Berk, France, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski and Jonathan Van Ness werent so fabulous. Berk appeared to unfollow France on Instagram that month.
People also assumed that the pairs apparent clash had something to do with Berk announcing on social media the week prior that he would be departing the show after its eighth season.

But Berk explained to Vanity Fair that his relationship with France had nothing to do with his exit from the series. He said that the casts contract had expired in September 2022, and that he had already moved on when Netflix presented a new contract.
We thought we were done, he said. Mentally and emotionally, I thought we all moved on. I know I did, and I started planning other things.
Queer Eye has since been renewed for Season 9. Berk told Vanity Fair that his co-stars are slated to return.

The interior designer acknowledged that unfollowing France on Instagram wasnt the best move, but that he was angry at the time and that they fight like siblings.
I can foresee in six months or a year, Tan and I at each others house being good, he said.
A representative for France did not immediately return HuffPosts request for comment.
