During the series, she was particularly close to co-star Dan Weekes-Hannah ("Ved") whom her character would later become involved in a romantic storyline. While filming 'The Tribe,' Jaimee lived in the cast house with Weekes. During an interview, Weeks claimed that they flirted together and dated, which was against the rules. But they broke up soon after "The Tribe" ceased production. Weekes claimed that an impromptu train ride to Auckland with Kaire-Gataulu caused them to miss a scheduled shooting. Their absence caused shooting to be resheduled costing the studio upwards of one hundred thousand dollars. Both were dropped from the show, Kaire-Gataulu being fired immediately while Weeks was written out later on in the season.
