He said Reese is just a friend from high school. The show’s Instagram account followed him because he took over the social media page one day.

At the time, Rees sent him a meme through a direct message, and he simply forgot to unfollow him after that. Hence, there’s no truth to the rumor that he will be the new Jonathan in Superman & Lois Season 3.
