Monaco and her high school sweetheart, Mike Gonzalez, met when Monaco was a junior. They began dating and remained together for 18 years. Gonzalez was a big part of Monaco’s life before she became famous, with both of them attending the same community college and working as lifeguards together.
However, Monaco and Gonzalez parted ways in 2009. Fans speculate that Monaco’s fame might have made things difficult for the couple. In any case, Monaco detailed the ways she was working to move past her relationship with Gonzalez on Dirty Soap.

Miller joined the show in 2014 as Sam’s husband, Jason Morgan (who was later revealed to actually be his twin brother, Drew Cain). Monaco and Miller ended up spending a lot of time together, which led to many romance speculations from fans.
However, Monaco and Miller have maintained they are just friends. The two of them are also private about their lives, so it is unlikely fans will get to hear anything more about their relationship.
