"If anything, no. It makes everything a whole lot easier. No need to bring in a movement or intimacy coach for our "romantic" scenes. Our chemistry has always been there. When you've known someone for over half your life and you know every little thing there is to know about them, it's never awkward." |
Neyton Alist is the real-life best-friendship/romantic pairing of Peyton List and Nausheen Ali. They were the two youngest cast members of BABYSITTER and were the only female members of the cast prior to Karin Konoval joining in season 3. They always hung out when they were off set. They are so close that they call themselves "sisters"; as Peyton describes Nausheen as the "sister she never had". Nausheen revealed in an interview in August 2022 that they were "joined at the hip" during filming since they were the only two kids on the set. Peyton stated that moments after she and Nausheen met during their final audition of BABYSITTER, they had instantly clicked and have been inseparable from the start. Although they constantly refer to each other as "sisters", many of the BABYSITTER fanbase (and much later, the Simply Platonic fanbase) shipped them together romantically. Over the years, many fans have accumulated evidence hinting that Nausheen and Peyton are; or at least have been; in a romantic relationship.
The girls finally put the rumours to rest during an interview recorded in February 2020 (read below), and again in an interview in May 2020.
In mid-late October 2022, an insider leaked a snippet of a teaser of Peyton's new single "Bad Idea" which showed Nausheen and Peyton cuddling up to each other and kissing in an intimate manner. A few days later, Page Six reported that the two are dating and have been since August 2022. The pair got engaged on February 14, 2023.
Their relationship has nothing to do with Budison, although many fans seemed to think so. See Budison for the relationship between Madison and Babushka, who are Peyton and Nausheen's characters respectively.

Past Relationship Rumours[]
From around 2013 until 2022, there were rumours circulating about a supposed romantic relationship between the two girls. The relationship was supported by a majority of the BABYSITTER and Simply Platonic fanbase and quickly gained a cult following online. From fan fiction, to fan edits to its own dedicated subreddit (r/NeytonAlist), thousands of fans became dedicated to proving the girls were in a secret romantic relationship with each other. The two of them went along with it and played into it for a while until they both agreed the whole thing became too obsessive and out of line, especially when it came to their own personal romantic relationships. This was all before, of course, the girls actually became romantically involved with each other for real from August 2022. According to the fans, a few notable hints of them being together included:
- They occasionally looked at each other while they're performing or being interviewed.
- They occasionally tweeted to each other using flirty emojis.
Leigh-Anne (Nausheen) hugging Perrie (Peyton).

- Their arms were sometimes around each other when being interviewed.
- They were often photographed in public together holding hands.
- They often winked, smirked or smiled at each other during interviews and performances.
- They often appeared in Instagram and Snapchat videos together.
- They made an oath to each other that when they are both in their 30s and they are both unmarried, they will marry each other.
- They often liked and commented on each other's Instagram posts; and commonly complimented each other's posts.
Refutation[]
In an interview recorded in December 2020, Peyton brought up the Neyton relationship rumours by saying, "People thought that Nausheen and I were like, into each other, and that made me so uncomfortable. Like, disgustingly uncomfortable because I was queer, but she was not. And it made me feel like a predator because of the type of clips people put together and the fanfictions people would write. Think about it for a second - in any regular, everyday scenario, if a 22 year-old was interested in or dated or was attracted to a 17 year-old, they'd be called a predator, a pervert, a felon, a paedophile; the lot. And suddenly it's okay because it's the two of us? Weird, but okay? Nausheen is a minor, and has always been a minor for the whole time I've known her. I would never in my life date an underaged person and the stuff that we've both read and seen online... it makes me physically sick. Like, actually sick to my stomach. We can't even comment... you know, we've had to refrain from liking each other's posts because of all the shit some people were saying. Even on days where Nausheen would post a bomb-ass selfie or she'd post something about a work thing, I love her like a sister, of course I'd normally like it, but there's people out there who take time out of their day and click on the likes and if they saw that I liked her post or vise versa they'd freak out, and if we didn't like each other's posts they'd make up theories like "are they fighting again", "what's the tea" and shit like that. When the whole thing was "popular" we played along with the joke just to make our fans happy, but then things got scary. A couple years ago, a fan tweeted Nausheen with a link to a fanfiction of us, and Nausheen read it and sent it to me, and after I read it I felt so physically sick. [...] It was a fanfiction that was basically all about us having sex. It would describe in vivid detail of us having sex and shit. It was scary... they seemed to know more about my body and my sexuality than I did! It was like the author went on Pornhub, watched a bunch of lesbian porn, wrote down every action in explicit detail then put in our names! Honestly, what made it scary, was at the time I was like 19 or 20, and Nausheen was still like 14, 15. The fact that they wrote a sexual fanfiction in detail about an underrage girl and her non-biological sister, I swear a further investigation needs to be held. Do people get off to this shit? That's when I discovered that are hundreds, probably thousands of them out there on the internet. That was the day I realised how disgusting and scary and bizarre this whole thing was. People took it way too far."

Moments[]
Fanon[]
- In late 2014, the two girls made out on camera. It was for an American adult comedy show; where the host made a joke about what Nausheen and Peyton were doing in the dressing room while Bella and Zendaya were on the main sound stage. The LCD screen displayed Nausheen and Peyton kissing on a bed. They get to the point of making out for so long that they start taking each other's clothes off before one of the "producers" enters the room and catches them, telling them to come on stage.
- During a meet-and-greet, when a fan asked them if their relationship was real, Nausheen responded by saying, "Yes. Neyton is very real."
- While performing Black Magic at an outdoor music festival in mid-2015, Nausheen leaned in for a kiss with Peyton, but pulls back at the last split second.
- When they appeared on the Today Show in February 2016, the host asked if their relationship was real. At first, Nausheen denied it; however she was not looking at the host and was fiddling with her coat while she said this. However, Peyton delightfully stated, "Yes. Neyton is real, everybody!".
- In early 2015, Nausheen was cast for a recurring role in the fictional supernatural series The Undead. Peyton guest starred in one episode of the show, playing Nausheen's character's love interest's younger sister. Although the episode with Peyton aired, a deleted scene from the episode was leaked onto the internet. It featured Nausheen and Peyton's characters talking, and then eventually Peyton's character kisses Nausheen's. After Peyton's character apologizes, Nausheen's character leans in again for another kiss, and it lasted for about thirty seconds. This then leads to the characters making out, as Peyton's character pushes Nausheen's character against the wall and they continue to kiss passionately. Another character from the series witnesses them kiss through binoculars, and says that Nausheen's character's love interest would not like this.
- This scene was cut from the episode since the producers decided at the last minute to remove Nausheen's character's sexuality out of the storyline, as Peyton was only scheduled to appear in one episode and the kiss would lead to other places. With enough storylines and events going on in the series already, another one (which is slightly more complicated) couldn't be fit in.
- A HD version of the scene can be viewed on YouTube, and it currently has surfaced over 3 million views. The scene is also used regularly in fanmade Neyton videos.
- In October 2015, each of the girls were interviewed individually, however the other girls watched on. When Nausheen says in her interview, "I can literally pretend that I am in love with anyone.", Bella whispers to Zendaya, "With Peyton she doesn't have to pretend.". Despite hearing her say this, Nausheen doesn't deny it.
- In February 2016, Spencer (Peyton's brother) posted a series of videos on Peyton's snapchat. In the videos, Spencer (who was filming) asked Peyton what she thought of Nausheen. Peyton told him that she thought that she was cool. Spencer then says, "Oh my god, it's confirmed, folks. Neyton Alist is real! Neyton Alist is real!". The video continues with Spencer asking Peyton about Nausheen's whereabouts, however Peyton says that she isn't exactly sure. Spencer tells her, "Why? You should know where she is. She's your girlfriend.". Peyton then blushes and starts to walk away, however Spencer continues to tease her by saying, "Ooh she's blushing! She's blushing!".
- When performing Secret Love Song on the first leg of the tour, Nausheen sung Kyle's part; which meant that the girls were left singing to each other. They also stand close together.
- When performing "I Love You" on the second leg of the tour, each girl was performing on a cloud with their significant others painted in front of it. Bella's was "Greg", Nausheen's was "Jake", Zendaya was "My Dog" and Peyton's was "Nausheen".
- Nausheen and Peyton are also co-writers of the song.
- In one of their shows, Nausheen's microphone cut-out whilst she was in the middle of her part in "Secret Love Song Pt. II". Peyton gives her microphone to Nausheen.

- During their South American leg of the tour, Nausheen and Peyton had to share a hotel room and slept in the same bed.
- Bella makes a joke saying that if neither of the girls snapchat during the night, it means that they are "doing it".
- During a radio interview on August 9, 2016, Zendellaneyton were asked a series of questions. At one point, the host asks about their hotel situation, and Bella and Zendaya are going all out explaining the Neyton situation. Zendaya then reveals that Nausheen and Peyton were officially a couple. Nausheen and Peyton both agree, and they hold hands and shouts "love wins!".
- Later that day, Zendaya tweeted, "As of now: August 9, 2016, Nausheen and Peyton are OFFICIALLY a couple!! #NeytonCameOut". This hashtag trended on Twitter for hours after this happened.
- During Zendellaneyton's August 10 gig, Bella and Zendaya made the entire audience chant "Neyton is real!" several times, making Nausheen and Peyton embarrassed.
- During the same show, Peyton looked at Nausheen while Nausheen was singing her part in Secret Love Song Pt. II. Nausheen takes notice of this and tells her to stop; "Oh, why can't you hold me in the street? Why can't I kiss you on the dancefloor? Peyton, stop looking at me! I wish that it could be like that...".
- Nausheen then sneaks up on Peyton during Peyton's part, standing inches from her. Peyton doesn't notice this until the end of the song because she had her eyes closed while she was singing. Peyton jumps at the sight of Nausheen and slaps her.
- During Zendellaneyton's trip to Sydney on their world tour in early September 2016, the girls had an interview with 2-Day FM. The game was called "Hair or Care" (a standardized "yes or no" game). One of the questions was "Hair or Care: If a cute boy approached you and asked you out", to which Peyton responded with, "Why does it have to be a boy? Why does a girl need to be with a boy in order to be happy?". She was also looking at Nausheen while saying this, and Nausheen takes notice by saying, "Why are you looking at me when you're saying that?!".
- On September 9, 2016, the girls kissed on stage for a few seconds between the songs "A.D.I.D.A.S." and "DNA/Pillowtalk".

Peyton: [to Nausheen] What?! Why did you write me down? |
- Peyton also swapped places with Bella in the middle of the full video after she saw Zendaya and Nausheen interacting physically. This is possibly because she was jealous and wanted to sit next to Nausheen.
- Nausheen and Peyton went on a double date to the Super bowl on February 5, 2017 with their boyfriends Zahid Muralidharan and Charlie Puth.

- On August 25, 2017, Peyton posted a picture on Instagram, and Nausheen commented, "For once, I don't have anything clever to say... You're just really goddamn breathtaking." Peyton commented back with a monkey-covering-eyes and a kissy-face emoji.
- During a press interview for the new Netflix series Glory Days, the two girls were sitting next to each other whilst talking about the new show. For the first 3 minutes of the interview, Nausheen's hand was in Peyton's lap (holding Peyton's hand). There was also a point in the interview where Nausheen stared at Peyton which caused Peyton to lose focus for a few seconds, and Peyton placed her hand in Nausheen's lap for most of the interview.

- On October 24, 2017, the two of them reunited after Peyton was sick with a gastric problem and couldn't go to New York with the rest of Zendellaneyton. In the morning, Nausheen posted a series of things on her Snapchat, including a selfie of her and Peyton where their cheeks were touching, a video prior to this selfie where the girls stood there and posed (before Nausheen told Peyton "it's a video"), a video where Peyton was in Nausheen's trailer and most importantly, a video where Nausheen was making a loud noise while lying down on her bed. In the video, Peyton responded by making a louder noise and hugged Nausheen from behind, kissing Nausheen a few times all over her cheeks. Nausheen giggled widely and let Peyton do so.

- They also spent New Years Eve together as well. On January 1, 2018, Nausheen posted a picture of her kissing Peyton's cheek on Instagram with the caption, "Going into the new year for the 8th time with my best friend."
- In Zendellaneyton's song Is Your Love Enough?, both girls sing the line, "Girl, you can do more than talking baby," at some point during the song. Nausheen quoted this on Twitter to which Peyton replied with, "š¤ š¤ ā¤ļø". Thousands of fans responded to Peyton's reply saying things like, "She's singing about you," "NEYTON IS REAL," "Like this tweet if Nausheen is singing about Peyton," to which Peyton favourited tweets of that nature.
- On January 14, 2018 during Zendellaneyton's anniversary livestream, Nausheen brought up the fact that hundreds of tweets that used the hashtag "#PlatinumEditionQ&A" included "Neyton" in them, by saying, "No, literally. If I type in 'hashtag-platinum-edition-Q&A' in the search bar, it says 'Neyton' under it! Look! [...] It's so annoying! [...] Is there a way I could mute the word 'Neyton' until this livestream is over?"
- Zendaya responded to Nausheen whilst looking into the camera, "You'd be muting half of your mentions, man," to which Peyton replied (while blushing), "Three quarters of her mentions. Are you dumb? Gosh... [...] She gets more harassed about it than me. I think it's because I'm already out of the closet." A few seconds later, Nausheen spoke up again and said, "We're never gonna stop getting Neyton questions, so I may as well just..." Bella cut in and told her, "Tell them what they want to hear! Tell all the Neyton shippers viewing this right now what they should know." This exchange occured during the livestream after Nausheen hesitated for a few seconds:
Nausheen: Well, if you guys think it's real- |
- On January 30, 2018, after Peyton posted a live cover of I'd Rather Go Blind on her Instagram story (where she changed "her" to "him" ["When I saw you and him talking"] and "girl" to "boy" ["When I saw you and that boy walking around"]), she then posted another video of herself blushing and saying, "I'm so freakin' gay right now. Hehehe..." with the video surrounded with rainbow emojis. Her followers were quick to notice that at the time the video was filmed, a majority of her tagged pictures were either Neyton or Nausheen pictures. Many fans believe that Peyton made the "gay" comment either because she was singing about Nausheen and her boyfriend Zahid, or because she was looking at her recently tagged pictures.
- On January 31, 2018, Nausheen hosted an Instagram live whilst she was doing her own makeup, and she was asked the question, "Are you the reason that Peyton is bi?", to which she responded with, "Honestly, I don't know. I mean, I never really asked her about it. Yeah, sure, we've had late night conversations and hang-outs where we'd just talk about personal things like sexuality and stuff, but I don't think she's ever told me, you know, well that. Um, honestly in my opinion, I don't think someone can be a reason that you're gay or straight or whatever since you're generally born with it and it's just who you are. But if I am the reason Peyton's bi, then that's pretty awesome, and I wouldn't blame her because if I wasn't me, whether I was a guy or girl, I'd still think that I'd look smoking hot."
- A few minutes later, another fan asked, "What's your sexuality?" to which Nausheen responded with, "Man, I get asked this question all the time. Honest answer? I don't know yet."
- On February 6, 2018, Zendellaneyton's app was updated to include a new feature which includes around 10 public chatrooms with the girls themselves and other fans. The chatrooms were named automatically. The most significant chatroom was labeled, "NEYTON SHIPPERS"; catered specifically to fans who support the Neyton ship.
- Peyton released her debut single from her fourth studio album entitled "Dusk Till Dawn" on March 2, 2018, and many fans have speculated that the song was written about Nausheen.
- The bridge of the song contains the lyrics, "Girl, give love to your body. It's only you that can stop it."
- In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Peyton stated that she was in love with someone [a girl] at the time when she wrote it. She also gave hints about this particular person, by saying that the girl was someone she was friends with for a long time (ruling out her ex-girlfriend Krissy Saleh; as they've only known each other for about a year), and that she was "maybe" romantically involved with this girl.
- Peyton also stated that the song can be about a friendship; however she herself interprets it as a love song.
- Nausheen and Peyton (along with Bella and Zendaya) presented at the 2018 Oscars on March 4, 2018. The two of them were holding hands for the entire time they were shown on camera. They were the only ones out of the group who held hands on stage.

- Peyton released the music video for her single Dusk Till Dawn on April 6, 2018, and fans were quick to notice that her love interest in the video bares similarities to Nausheen Ali. Her love interest is played by Yara Shahidi. The similarities to Nausheen include:
- The start of the video features Peyton and Yara sitting on a couch, and it's assumed that they're in some sort of interview. Peyton's heart sinks when Yara brings up her boyfriend.
- Peyton sees that Yara has posted a picture of the two of them on Instagram after the interview.
- They spend the day at the beach together and take a lot of photos. This may be a reference to when Neyton spent a day at the beach together in February 2016.
- Yara's boyfriend greets the two girls, and Peyton gets jealous. He seems to resemble Nausheen's boyfriend Zahid.
- Peyton watches on as Yara and her boyfriend greet fans and sign autographs. Clearly, Yara and her boyfriend are a famous couple; much like Nausheen and Zahid.
- The girls have a sleepover together, and the scene starts off with Yara snapchatting while Peyton watches on with a smile. Nausheen tends to snapchat random moments like this.
- They ride on what appears to be a tour bus. Yara looks at her phone in a concerned way, and Peyton attempts to comfort her before Yara pushes her away.
- They appear to be performing in front of a massive crowd (like a concert) before Yara breaks down crying on stage.
- Peyton approaches Yara backstage and hugs her. We find out that Yara's boyfriend just dumped her and she is upset about it. This may be an indirect message to Nausheen, where if her and Zahid were ever to break up, Peyton would always be by her side "from dusk till dawn".
- Nausheen posted a picture of her kissing Peyton's cheek (something of this nature) on Peyton's birthday respectively. Famous singer/actress Demi Lovato commented on the photo, "Are y'all dating or what?", to which Nausheen responded with, "Girl we married."
- Nausheen and Peyton attended a NBA Playoffs game in Toronto on April 17, 2018, and the two were photographed linking arms in the stands, and there was even a photograph of the two of them leaning in for an eskimo kiss. Peyton reposted a few photos and captioned them, "My one and only ššš".
- Also, a Canadian tattoo artist posted a selfie with the two girls on his Instagram story, captioning it with, "I got #Neyton out here. ā¤ļø" It was known that Peyton was about to get her first tattoo; located at the back of her neck. It's the word "ą¤øą¤¦ą„ą¤µ" (translated to "Forever/Always" in Hindi) written in Nausheen's handwriting.
- Zendellaneyton appeared on Chelsea on May 1st 2018, and Chelsea brought up the Neyton "fingering" situation (see below in Glory Days Tour moments) by making them watch a video it. After Chelsea showed them the video, Nausheen proceeded to ask, "What is the question exactly?" to which Chelsea asked Nausheen if she did in fact "finger" Peyton on stage. Peyton blushed and awkwardly avoided talking. Nausheen looked over to the side concerned (presumeably at their management) and mouthed a few lines to them. She then confirmed that she did not "parttake in sexual activity with Peyton on stage in front of thousands of people".
- The fact that Nausheen took a few seconds to give a definite answer and looked over to her management in confusion lead fans to believe that she did in fact do such thing, but her management told her to keep her mouth shut.
- During an interview with Pop Mania, Nausheen and Peyton both wrote each other down for "Biggest Flirt". When they revealed the name they've written on their whiteboards, they looked at each other's and laughed. Peyton also drew a heart under Nausheen's name. After seeing that both Bella and Zendaya wrote her name down, Nausheen told them, "No, I think Peyton's the biggest flirt. She flirts with me like everyday." Peyton smiled and blushed during this.
- They shared a moment during a press interview for Glory Days (the TV series):
Interviewer: [to Nausheen] Did you have to do any research for your character [a bisexual character]? |
- On June 21, Nausheen confirmed on Twitter that she will be kissing girls in season 2 of Glory Days. This reveals that Nausheen and Peyton's characters' relationship is very likely to be explored further, since the season 1 finale left fans wondering if they will get together.
- Peyton's character is openly gay and Nausheen's character indirectly came out as bisexual in the seventh episode of the series (by telling Ahmad [Zahid's character] that she had Priyanka Chopra and a few other women in her "crush" book). This means that their characters are very likely to get together in season 2.
- In late June 2018 during a radio interview (while promoting her and Zendaya's solo collaboration "She Loves Control"), Nausheen, Zendaya and the radio host had an interesting conversation:
Host: Now, I don't know about you, but the title of this song and even the cover art just screams "homosexual". |
- Peyton allegedly "proposed" to Nausheen on August 3, 2018 during sound check for their Glory Days Tour. Peyton got down on one knee and proposed to Nausheen with a liqourish ring and she said yes. This was briefly documented on one of their back-up dancer's Instagram story and several fans confirmed this on Twitter. Nausheen posted a picture on Snapchat of her left hand reaching out to Peyton (and Peyton looking lovingly) with the caption, "She proposed to me with a liqourish ring ā¤ļø". A few minutes later, Peyton posted a picture on her Instagram story of Nausheen reaching out to her, with the caption, "I proposed to her with a liqourish ring ā”". Nausheen then tweeted out "4/1/33 !!!!!!" a few hours later. She then shortly followed it by tweeting, "save the date y'all!!!! #NeytonWedding will be on april 1st 2033!!! ya girls getting marrieddd". A few minutes later, she posted a picture on Twitter of her and Peyton showing off the ring with the caption, "I said yes".
- During the show later that night, Nausheen referred to Peyton as her fiancƩe and wore the liqourish ring.
- As of late November 2018, it is implied that the two girls are in some sort of fight. Fans have noticed that in their most recent interviews in Australia, the two of them were very distant from each other (they left a gap in between one another, they looked down, fiddled or looked at their own nails while the other person was talking etc) and during the later legs of their Glory Days Tour, they weren't interacting on stage as often. They also haven't been "liking" or commenting on each other's posts like they used to.
- Fans were also quick to notice that Nausheen unfollowed Peyton on Instagram and she has since deleted many photos of the two of them together. She has also deleted many Neyton related tweets on Twitter.
- Many fans have been tweeting and commenting on Nausheen's posts asking for an explanation, however she hasn't commented on it yet. This is an odd thing for her to do, since she has openly stated that whenever she sees her fans upset about something, she does her best to make them calm down.
- On November 27, 2018, the hashtag #NausheenAliIsOverParty trended for several hours on Twitter after a rumour began circulating that the reason the girls are fighting is because Nausheen made a homophobic comment towards Peyton. This "homophobic" comment occured during a podcast (which was recorded in September 2018), which went as follows:
Interviewer: If you could date any woman in Hollywood right now, who would it- |
- In February 2019, their "fued" was still ongoing. During a Q&A during an Apple Music gig on January 29, 2019, a fan asked the two of them, "Are Nausheen and Peyton still friends?". They hesitated for a few seconds before nodding and Nausheen saying, "Yes, we are very good friends." A few seconds later, the same fan asked them to elaborate a bit on their fued, but the two girls went silent and asked for another question.
- In an interview recorded in February 2020, Peyton and Nausheen both put the rumours to rest by confirming that they're not true. Nausheen was asked the question, "What is the weirdest rumour you've ever heard about yourself?" to which she responded with, "Dating you [Peyton], actually." Peyton chimed in and said, "That's been going around for years. It's died down more recently. I remember we used to get hundreds of messages a day asking if we were dating. We never caught a break. It's like - we post a selfie together? 'They're soulmates.' We comment on each other's posts? 'They're dating'. It was ridiculous!". Peyton finished the question by saying that "shipping a 21 year-old woman with a 16 year-old kid is weird" and that "she's not a paedophile".
- In May 2020, them along with the rest of the group did a quarantine interview/game with Buzzfeed called "Truth or Drink". One of the questions asked them about the Neyton relationship and Nausheen immediately said, "Can we not talk about that? It makes me really uncomfortable" and Peyton agreed. Bella jokingly then said something about Neyton being one of the reasons why they used to be so big, and that it was funny since the ship "died" their music hasn't been getting as many sales. Nausheen still wanted to change the question.
- Nausheen surprised Simply Platonic during their Between Us tour in mid 2022 and joined them on stage for a few songs. During the bridge of "Woman Like Me", the girls shared a kiss on stage. This kiss eventually made them realise their true feelings for each other despite kissing each other many times in the past as a joke.
- According to the girls themselves and Peyton's song "Little Town Car", they revealed their feelings for each other in the back of a town car in Paris in August 2022. They kept their relationship private for about two months before being outed by Page Six in October 2022.
- At one point during these two months, Peyton did a "Lie Detector Test" interview with Vanity Fair. During the interview, the interviewer gave her a picture of Nausheen, and asked her "What can you tell us about this individual? What is your relationship with her?". Peyton blushes and answers, "No comment."
- Nausheen proposed to Peyton on a beach on Valentine's Day 2023.
- They released the song Paralyzed together to promote their new series BABY2ITTER. The song reached #1 on the US charts.
- Since the girls have decided to keep their relationship more private, their fans speculate every few months that they may have broken up. The most recent example being March 2024 where fans have noticed Peyton hasn't been present in recent Baby2itter cast gatherings or Nausheen's 21st birthday party. Peyton decided to clear the air on her Instagram story on March 30: "Hi guys. I've been getting a recent influx of DMs and comments asking whether Sheenie and I have broken up, all because I didn't post a paragraph wishing her happy birthday. Firstly, since when did not writing a paragraph on social media mean a break-up? If you guys must know, I slept over her place and woke up next to Sheenie, cooked her breakfast and showered her with gifts. All of this was not documented on social media. Why? Because I don't need to. Sheenie knows how much she means to me, and I know how much I mean to her. I wrote a whole ass album about her for crying out loud! Stop making assumptions. Secondly, if you haven't noticed, I've been taking a cleanse from social media for mental health reasons this year, which explains my lack of posting. Things like this is the reason why I haven't been on the socials much. Anyways, buy and stream my album I Said I Love You."
Rainfall[]
- The music video for their song "Rainfall" was released on October 18, 2016. It portrays the story of a reasonably wealthy girl who had a fight with her parents about her future (portrayed by Peyton) and a poor, homeless and shy girl (portrayed by Nausheen). The two girls meet after Peyton sees Nausheen busk for money and Peyton is interested in getting to know Nausheen. Nausheen however, tells Peyton that she has to go "home", and Peyton gives her a $100 bill. Nausheen reluctantly takes it and walks away, and the two of them go their separate ways. Peyton sneaking into her bedroom and Nausheen arranging her bed on a park bench is juxtaposed. The next day, Nausheen sets up for another day of busking while Peyton is hanging out with her friend. Peyton spots Nausheen from afar and offers to buy her lunch, however Nausheen runs away before Peyton could approach her. Upset, Peyton enters goes home and her father starts yelling at her. Peyton is frustrated and slams her bedroom door in her father's face and slides down the door in tears. Peyton's father attempts to get Peyton to open the door, however she is too upset to stand up. Across the city, Nausheen continues to run away and sits down on her park bench. She cries for a while until she picks up the $100 bill and looks at it. The next day, Peyton's father drags her down the street and tells her not to leave his side. Nausheen spots Peyton from across the street. Peyton's father tells her to wait while he answers his phone, and Peyton spots Nausheen from afar. Nausheen is wearing a new leather jacket. The two of them run up to each other in a massive hug with tears rolling down their cheeks. The video concludes with Peyton asking Nausheen if she wants go back to her house, and Nausheen says yes.

To our gay fans, we love you so much... and to our fans who aren't out of the closet yet; to our babes who are shy about it; we love you and you don't have to rush, you can take your time, and when you do come out; no matter how people react or how people see it, we love you, you're beautiful, you deserve to love who you wanna love, you deserve to be celebrated, you're perfect and I love you.

- For whatever reason while the girls were standing in a line after Shout Out to My Ex, (while Bella sung the final line, "You'll never bring me down"), Nausheen had her arm around Peyton. Nausheen bit her lip slightly and a few seconds later, Peyton made a surprised and pleasant facial expression. This lead fans to believe that Nausheen "fingered" Peyton on stage. Fans were also very observant to notice that as Peyton turned around, the bottom of her unitard (which resembled this) was tucked to the side slightly.
