The podcaster is referring to a trip to Mexico Josh and Hailee took together in early July, where they were spotted sharing a kiss.

"The fact anybody cares about that still blows my mind," the athlete noted, adding of the photographers, "They were on a boat. I saw it and I just felt this gross feeling. The insecurity, no privacy. I was like, 'What's wrong with you?'"

Josh and Hailee first sparked romance rumors when they were seen dining out together in New York City late in May. And though the 27-year-old previously responded, "No comment," when asked about his relationship status in July, he made no objection to her being referred to as "his girlfriend" this time around.

Hailee, for her part, has kept a tight lid on her love life. the 26-year-old was previously linked to One Direction's Niall Horan in 2018, however the romance had ended before the year was out. 

 At the time, after she and Niall were spotted together in London, the actress got candid on her desire to maintain a certain level of privacy.

"I feel so lucky that [my fans] care enough about me to know what I'm doing every second of every day, but I think that sometimes it's hard for people in general to realize that there are boundaries to a person's life and personal life," she told Us Weekly. "I am a very private person. I do love that I have the opportunity to share with them what I'm comfortable with and they're there to listen and support me."
