## Personal life

### **Relationships**

#### Jordan Sawyer (July 2012-February 2014)

In September 2012, McCormick revealed that she was in a relationship with her longtime family friend Jordan Sawyer, in an interview featured on the Comedies for Kids series *Documentary Time*. For the first year or so of their relationship, the two kept a low profile, and only around a dozen public photographs were released of the pair; most of them taken on the set of the television series *WildSide*. In the summer of 2013, McCormick opened up about her relationship with Sawyer more, after he starred as her main love interest in her music video for "Hurricane". He also joined McCormick on her *Wild Luck Charlie Girls Tour* in the fall of 2013, becoming one of the Wild Luck Charlie Girls' back up dancers.

After starring twice more in McCormick's music video for "Better In Stereo" and the newly renamed In the Beat's music video for "Move" as a background dancer, Sawyer and McCormick split in February 2014. According to McCormick, the break-up was brutal, as she revealed that Sawyer ended their relationship abruptly in person. For a long time, it was believed that the two ended on good terms, however this fact was revealed to be false by McCormick several years after the incident occurred.

#### Zachary Gordon (May 2015-March 2016; March 2016-March 2019; May 2020-October 2020; September 2021-April 2022)

On May 2, 2015, McCormick was photographed in public kissing her former *WildSide* co-star Zachary Gordon by a fan. As a result, the images went viral on social media. McCormick subsequently confirmed their relationship during a talk show appearance a couple of days later. The two made their red carpet debut at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards on August 16, where McCormick's girl group In the Beat debuted their new single "Black Magic" with a live performance. A reaction shot of Gordon in the audience admiring McCormick during the performance went viral on social media. Through out the rest of 2015 and early 2016, the pair made their relationship very public; going as far as getting matching tattoos with one another.

In March 2016, TMZ reported that the pair reportedly split, however the reason for this was never revealed publicly. The split occurred while McCormick was on tour with In the Beat (Gordon also accompanied her); and McCormick infamously started crying in the middle of a performance of the group's song titled "The End" during one stop. Around nine days later, a source close to the pair revealed that the two were back together.

On January 4, 2018, McCormick was photographed wearing an engagement ring with a fan. A few hours after the image was released, she made an Instagram post confirming her engagement with Gordon; which initially occurred a couple of days prior.

On March 9, 2019, TMZ reported that the pair officially split once more. This break up was a lot more brutal however, as McCormick later revealed that it was due to Gordon cheating on her. In May an infamous set of photographs spanning several days were released, with the most well known being a shot of McCormick shoving a chocolate muffin into Gordon's face and storming off. In October, Gordon came under fire from McCormick's fans after he was captured saying sexist and derogatory remarks about her over a Twitch live stream.

In April 2020, the cast of *WildSide* took part in a Zoom reunion during the COVID-19 lockdown. The livestream was viewed as hostile by fans, as a majority of it involved McCormick and Gordon arguing with one another. These arguments were quickly resolved however, as around a month later, a source close to the pair revealed that they were once again back together. They soon split once more in October.

On September 22, 2021, the pair reunited with the rest of the *WildSide* cast to celebrate the show's 10 year anniversary. A source close to the pair revealed that they went home together that night; despite her being in a relationship with actor Sam Keller at the time. A couple of weeks later, Gordon revealed on a Twitch live stream that him and McCormick were once again back together. In April the following year, McCormick's record label held a release party for her six studio album "SIX". The pair were photographed arguing and leaving the party early. The pair reportedly split up not long afterwards. Gordon later revealed that the argument took place due to Keller (McCormick's ex) being invited to the party.
