The reason fans didn’t know about it untilJosephsbrought it back upon the show was because Aydin had “decided not to speak of it anymore for the sake of our relationship” once she chose to forgive him. “When you forgive, you can’t keep bringing up a thing that hurt your family — it will only cause a vicious cycle,” she said. “He’s a good man that did a bad thing. A mistake that he’s so embarrassed and sorry about that I hate even mentioning it to him.”
