And while Jazz is candid about the fact that she and Amir are "not together anymore," the two remain close friends. So close, in fact, that she invites him to be by her bedside as she recovers from her third gender confirmation procedure. "I want his support as a friend," she says.

Jazz and her boyfriend are long-distance but he& apos s got Florida roots As fans know, Jazz and her family live in Florida, while Ahmir hails from Philadelphia. They met over email and met in person when Jazz was there for the Transgender Health Conference. However, Ahmir's dad lives in Fort Lauderdale, as Jazz revealed on the show this week. Her parents seemed to have initial reservations, based on the long-distance nature of the relationship and how quickly it seemed to move. They also had a slight issue with the fact that, though a high school graduate, he doesn't have a job and isn't going to college at the moment.Article continues below advertisementSource: TLC But the important thing is, he seems to treat Jazz like a queen, and we expect Greg and Jeanette to fall in love with him, too.

While they haven't confirmed either way, Jazz is 100 percent stanning for her boy on Twitter, and even revealed that, since the episodes about him aired, Ahmir has enrolled in college and currently has a 4.0. To everyone commenting on Ahmir not having a job or being in school, he is currently at college right now and has a 4.0 GPA #IAmJazz @TLC— Jazz Jennings (@JazzJennings__) February 20, 2019 Article continues below advertisement However, Ahmir alluded to some mental health struggles of late, which he has been proactive about addressing. He is also motivated to become an advocate, both for the LGBTQ community and for people who live with mental illness.Source: Instagram It seems the "person who I love so much" in this post — and the family that embraced him — may refer to Jazz and her family. So it's safe to say even if these two aren't romantically involved anymore, they've developed a deep and meaningful friendship.
