‘They Still In Love’: Fans Speculate Cyn Santana and Joe Budden Are Reconciled After They Watch ‘LHHNY’ Season Premiere Together

It looks like Cyn Santana and Joe Budden may be back on good terms.

The pair have been spending quite a bit of time together, although they called it quits earlier this year. On Tuesday afternoon, a video surfaced of Budden and Santana watching the “Love and Hip Hop: New York” season premiere together, which aired on Monday, Dec. 16.

They lounged in the living room together, rewatching the scene of Santana confronting Budden about cheating. Both were dressed casually in sweatpants and T-shirts. The video of the former couple was apparently recorded by Budden’s podcast co-host Jamil “Mal” Clay.

“They still in love! I love Joe and Cyn together I really want to see them work things out šŸ˜šŸ˜Š”

“So are they business partners/parents? Very cute for there child to see them chill together. I hope they make it work”

“Because it’s fake šŸ˜‚ They watching it like the premiere of a movie , she smiling and all”

“Hopefully he has grown up! And will treat any woman he’s with like he wants to be treated šŸ˜. They’re prob back together tho”

This isn’t the first time Budden and Santana were seen together since their split.

On Nov. 24, the pair sparked rumors they were back together when Budden posted photosĀ of himself and Santana attendingĀ Safaree SamuelsĀ andĀ Erica Mena‘s baby shower. They were seen holding hands in a video. But neither one of them has confirmed or denied their relationship.

In October, Santana spoke with Tiffany Pollard on her show ā€œBrunch With Tiffanyā€ and confirmed her breakup with Budden.

“We didn’t decide on anything. I did what was best for my mental health, for my peace and for me and my son,” she explained. “Basically, let’s just say that I’m probably the happiest that I’ve ever been and that was probably the best decision I’ve made in my entire life in the 26 years I’ve been living on this earth,” added Santana. “The best decision I made was leaving that relationship. And my son and I are amazing.”

As of now, both Santana and Budden are co-parenting their nearly 2-year-old son Lexington Budden.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
