But Winter responded, saying: “Guys please help he’s forcing me on onlyfans so he can be my manager and he doesn’t let me out of the house!!!! SOS!!!!” she joked. “Don’t believe everything you see on tt, especially rumours like that :) He’s a great man, and if he wasn’t, the dogs would take his ass outside.”

The original commenter then apologised, with Winter reverting back with “It’s totally okay! Those clickbait type things are so easy to fall into when really, most of them are just people looking to get views anyway they can.”

Luke Benward is an actor and singer. According to his interview on The Italian Rêve, he has been acting since childhood, though his earliest memories of acting remain vague. “Honestly, I was so little, but I remember being able to go through the bootcamp course of the military base we were shooting on,” he said, referring to his acting debut on Mel Gibson We Were Soldiers in 2002, in which he played the star’s son.
He has since starred in TV shows and films such as Good Luck Charlie (2013), Cloud 9 (2014) and Dolly Parton’s Dumplin’ with Jennifer Aniston. The multitalented 28-year-old also released an album in 2009 when he was still a teen, titled Let Your Love Out.
