However, it appears that Dru may find himself in a long-term relationship with an unlikely man: Gordo Castillo.
On paper, Dru and Gordo being involved romantically is not a good look. After all, Dru and Gordo are cousins. However, Dru says that the pair aren’t cousins by blood, so it shouldn’t be an issue.
While Gordo expresses his disapproval at first, he eventually warms up to the idea and the pair share a kiss after participating in a shootout.
Only time will tell how Dru and Gordo’s relationship will develop.
