There’s no such thing as the perfect relationship. Every couple endures their share of ups and downs. What truly defines a couple is how they actively solve problems to move forward in their union. And that’s essentially what VH1 Couples Retreat helps celebrities explore in their relationships.

In the trailer for Season 2, AJ Johnson can be seen asking KJ about his attraction level to Claudia, in which he responds that he’s not sexually attracted to her. It’s pretty standard for trailers to be edited in a way that can cause buzz, so there’s no telling if KJ’s response was to that exact question.

Most people have reservations about discussing their relationship issues on national television, but Claudia and KJ see no issue with it.

“I’m OK with it,” KJ exclusively told Distractify. “Our relationship issues are not weird. They're very status quo for most relationships. Oh, you don't give me enough attention? Oh, you do this? Oh, you don't do that. It's not like we are just so far off of that. This is just typical relationship problems. So I'm like, ‘If we're gonna be on the show, let's learn. Let's put it out there. Maybe someone else can get something from it.’”

Claudia also shared similar sentiments to KJ and said that the most important thing for her was for KJ to not embarrass her in any way, shape, or form.

“I don't want this to be damaging to each other and like really making each other look really bad … where you can't come back from that, you know,” Claudia told us. “I mean, we live all this. And I have anxiety. We have to relive all this stuff on Monday, this stuff you forgot that we said or that we were open with.”

It’s clear that Claudia and KJ are ready to face their issues head-on and become a stronger couple. And we’re absolutely here for it.
