- Netflix has released the finale of "Perfect Match" season two.
- Five couples make it to the final vote, and the winners are a surprising pair.
- Here's an update on the status of the current couples and other contestants.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Perfect Match" season two.
Christine Obanor and Nigel Jones may have won the second season of "Perfect Match," but it looks like none of the show's couples are still dating.
In the series, Netflix brings contestants together from across its reality slate, giving them a second chance to find a perfect partner.
It is a savvy way for Netflix to promote its reality shows while giving the stars another shot at fame.
Netflix has not confirmed when the series was filmed, but "Perfect Match" stars Harry Jowsey and Micah Lussier have said it was a year ago.
In the season finale, there are five couples: Elys Hutchinson and Bryton Constantin, Tolú Ekundare and Chris Hahn, Micah Lussier and Kaz Bishop, Christine Obanor and Nigel Jones, and Stevan Ditter and Alara Taneri.
Stevan and Alara were the fan-favorite couple, but the contestants voted for Christine and Nigel to win.
In a clip shared on Netflix's social media accounts, the cast revealed that they have all broken up since filming the show.

In episode three, Harry Jowsey goes on a date with "Love is Blind" season 6 star Jessica Vestal and immediately falls for her. He couples up with her later that episode and they stick together until episode six, despite facing criticism from the other contestants.
But they break up in the season finale after Harry is caught in a cheating scandal. In episode eight, Melinda Berry accuses Harry of kissing her off-camera, leading to an argument between Melinda, Harry, and Jessica.
Jessica doesn't know what to believe, so she breaks up with him and leaves the competition. A post-credit scene in the finale showed that Harry and Jessica dated again a month after filming the series, but they broke up again.
In the new clip shared on Netflix's social media, Harry said he still has an "amazing" relationship with Jessica, but she said their relationship is "nonexistent."
"There's no bad blood," Jessica said. "We haven't kept in contact."
Both stars told Entertainment Tonight in June that they are single now.
In the fall of 2023, "Dancing With The Stars" fans began speculating that Harry was dating Rylee Arnold, his dancing partner for season 32.
In April, Harry said on his podcast, "Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey," that the rumors harmed an undisclosed relationship he had at the time.
"I was actually in a secret relationship at the start of 'Dancing With the Stars,' and all those edits brought me and my girlfriend at the time apart," Harry said, referring to TikTok videos that spread the dating rumors between him and Rylee.
Harry said he loved the ex-girlfriend, who he didn't name in the podcast episode. Harry added that after they broke up, he "spiraled so fucking hard" that he almost proposed to another woman before they went on a first date. He said this woman ghosted him.
As for Jessica, she said she wasn't in a relationship in a TikTok post shared in March.
She also shared a video earlier this month where she called Harry the "largest red flag."

"Love Is Blind" alum Izzy Zapata was among the first contestants to enter the house in season two but was forced to exit for the first time in episode two after Tolú matches with Dom Gabriel over him. Izzy returns in episode eight for the girls' day out and matches with Micah.
But in the season finale, Izzy goes on a date with Jessica.
Izzy wants more than friendship, but Jessica is still reeling from her relationship with Harry. They initially couple up in a friendship match but decide to leave the competition the next morning.
Izzy seems to have moved on.
In October 2023, Izzy revealed he was dating someone new during the reunion episode for "Love Is Blind" season five. Today reported in October that Izzy shared a picture of his new girlfriend, Shelby Webb, on Instagram but later deleted it. This was likely filmed after "Perfect Match" was filmed.

In episode five, Tolú pairs up with Chris after he reveals his crush on her.
Their relationship slowly progresses over the season, even after a few arguments over Chris' loyalty.
At the end of the season, they are still together and say in the finale that they want to continue their relationship despite living in different states.
Chris and Tolu said in the new social media clip that their relationship fell apart after filming.
Tolú told Entertainment Tonight in June that she's single.

Elys, the winner of "Too Hot To Handle" season five, initially dates Harry on "Perfect Match." But he dumps her for Jessica in episode three.
After the rejection, she stays in the villa by pairing up with her friend, Chris, before finding romance with Justin Assada, a contestant from "Surviving Paradise."
Unfortunately, Justin and Elys do not make it to the end. In episode nine, Elys abruptly dumps Justin for "Squid Game: The Challenge" season one contestant Bryton.
Justin immediately leaves the house and doesn't show up at the final reunion to vote for a winner.
There is no information online about Justin's current relationship status.

Elys and Bryton are among the first contestants to enter the "Perfect Match" house, but they don't start talking until episode eight, when Bryton returns for the girls' party.
In the episode, Bryton chats to Elys and Micah and seeds conflict in their relationships so he can worm his way back into the "Perfect Match" house. He succeeds, and Elys asks to couple up with him in episode nine.
At the end of the season finale, Bryton and Elys are still together, and they say they are their perfect match. But they are no longer together.
In the new social media clip, Bryton said the relationship got "rocky" after the show because he "started to see a personality that I didn't get to see on screen." Elys said Bryton ghosted her.
Bryton appears to be dating Jade Gentile, a WWE wrestler whose ring name is Jazmyn Nyx. Since January, the pair have posted pictures of their dates on their Instagrams.
Elys appears to be dating "Too Hot To Handle" season three star Nathan Soan Mngomezulu.
Since October 2023, Elys and Nathan have posted videos on TikTok about their relationship.

In episode three, Stevan is sent on a date with Alara. They immediately click and match up together in the next episode, becoming the strongest couple in the series.
In the season finale, they have a brief fight after Stevan acts too keen to participate in a kissing game. But they make up and end the series together.
Unfortunately, the popular couple broke up after the series.
Alara said in the social media clip that Stevan ghosted her after they went on vacation. Stevan blamed the relationship ending on geographical distance.
"I honestly just didn't have time to carry on a relationship, let alone one that was overseas," Stevan said. "I was going to bed. She would wake up. It is what it is."
Stevan told Entertainment Tonight in June that he is in a relationship.
Meanwhile, TikTok posts show Alara is living with Micah in LA.

"Love Is Blind" alum Micah first pairs up with Kaz during a partner swap in episode two with Stevan and Xanthi Perdikomatis.
The couple starts strong, but cracks appear in episodes six to nine. Kaz keeps flirting with other contestants, making Micah doubt their relationship and causing fights.
In episode nine, Kaz gets angry after another contestant tells him Micah thinks they're the weakest couple. Kaz flirts with three other contestants and then kisses Holly Scarfone in front of Micah during a drinking game.
After this, Micah and Kaz have an argument and decide to break up. Kaz pairs up with Christine from "Too Hot To Handle" season five, and Micah pairs up with Izzy.
But in the season finale, Kaz has second thoughts about the relationship and rekindles the relationship with Micah.
They are still together at the end, but they have broken up since then.
In the social media clip, Kaz said his relationship with Micah was "nonexistent," while Micah said it was a short-lived "roller coaster," just like in the show.
In September 2023, Micah also posted a video on TikTok of a man she seemed to be dating.
Micah has posted other TikToks about going on dates, suggesting she is single.
Kaz told Entertainment Tonight in June that he's in a relationship with someone outside Netflix's reality show universe.

Christine joins the series in episode eight as one of the bombshells at the boy's day out. She immediately tries to win over Kaz, and she temporarily succeeds when Kaz picks her up in episode nine.
When Christine is sent on a date with Nigel, another "Too Hot To Handle" contestant, Kaz has second thoughts and speaks to his ex. This angers Christine, and the pair fight when she returns to the house.
Christine then matches with Nigel, who she has simple chemistry with. Though they are the newest couple, they are voted the winners of "Perfect Match" in the season two finale.
The finale shows that the pair on the vacation Netflix sends the winners on. But they are no longer together.
In the social media clip, Christine said she blocked him, and he only cared about how he looked on camera.
Nigel said: "She basically broke my trust with her, and it was so hard to get back with her. We tried to work on it, but I forgive but I can never forget. So we just called him off."

Melinda Berry, who previously appeared in "Too Hot To Handle" and hosted "Dated & Related," joins "Perfect Match" in episode six.
Melinda is not successful at convincing Chris to couple up with her and is sent out of the "Perfect Match" house on the same night she arrives. Melinda returns in episode eight, where she seems to flirt with Harry, but they never date for real.
Since then, Melinda seems to have started a new relationship with Christian Birkenberger of "Big Brother" season 23. Melinda appeared to befriend Christian after she appeared in the music video for his song "For You" in 2022.
Christian has said that Melinda is his girlfriend in multiple videos on TikTok in recent months.

"Too Hot To Handle" alum Holly is unable to find a match on "Perfect Match" despite flirting with Kaz.
However, she seems to have found a new relationship after the show.
In December 2023, Holly spoke briefly about her current relationship on Dom Gabriel's podcast "Dom Meets World."
Though she didn't name the man, it doesn't appear to be Kaz.
"I met him out in London like a year ago and he was trying to get to me for so long. It wasn't until recently that I gave him a shot," Holly said. "I just came to a point, I was like, 'You know what? I'm going to give him a shot. I'm going to try something new.'"
Though Kaz is from London, it seems like they met for the first time on the show, which wouldn't fit Holly's description.
