Netflix’s latest reality TV series The Ultimatum is finally out and we just have to say, we’re *obsessed*. The second you stream the very first episode, just know you’re in for a rollercoaster ride.
The series focuses on six couples, with a member of each pair offering their partner an ultimate: get married or end the relationship. Throughout the season, contestants get the chance to date other contestants who have joined and make their final decision.
With everything going on, we’re all thinking of the same question – Which of The Ultimatum couples are still together? And, since the reunion episode just dropped, we’ve decided to sum it all up for you.
Netflix
Have a look below to find out which The Ultimatum couples are still together…
Lauren Pounds (26) and Nate Ruggles (30)
Lauren and Nate have been together for two and a half years before joining the show. The couple witnessed their fair share of ups and downs throughout the show with the biggest being their disagreement on having kids.
Nate made some good connections with the other cast members but realized that Lauren is the one for him, and eventually proposed to her (just minutes after letting Madlyn know that he was gonna choose her FYI.)
The Reunion update: Now, we all know how Nate was the one who really wanted to get married and start a family. Nate shared why he decided to propose to Lauren suddenly, “I told her [Madlyn] that because I didn’t know who I was going to pick and I know in my heart and what I was saying to myself was, ‘I don’t want to be with anyone else besides Lauren but I need to pick someone.'”
Nate and Lauren revealed that they did go to couple’s therapy and might soon be planning to have a child together.
April Marie (23) and Jake Cunningham (26)
April gave Jake the ultimatum stating how she wanted to start a family together, while Jake thought it was too soon since he wanted to travel the world and focus on being financially stable before getting married.
Throughout the show, April grew closer to Colby while Jake and Rae built a romantic connection. (Not to mention he met her family.)
In the ninth episode, Jake and April sat down to have an honest conversation about the whole experience over the last couple of weeks. April said, “Having to see that you’re giving this attention to somebody else that we’ve just met in this like experience just makes it hurt just more deep.” Jake revealed that he still isn’t sure about getting married to April and wished her the best of luck on her journey.
As far as new couples emerging from this season are concerned, Jake does ask Rae out saying, “You deserve the world. You deserve everything. Hopefully, one day I can give that to you.” And, then he does propose something aka two tickets to *anywhere* in the world. Don’t we love the plot twists with reality TV?
The Reunion update: If team April fans are feelin’ upset, you shouldn’t be. April is living up her dating life and is currently in a serious relationship. So happy for you, bb.
As of March 2022, April is currently in a relationship with Cody Cooper for six months and has moved in with him. “He’s my absolute best friend and I completely adore him,” she said. “It’s just been such a fun, exciting, and playful relationship. I’ve been really happy.”
He recently threw a surprise birthday party for her too. Read more about her life after The Ultimatum here.
Rae Williams (24) and Zay Wilson (25)
Over here, Rae was the one to give Zay the ultimatum. During the series, Rae grew closer to Jake while Zay was interested in Shanique. So obv, Rae eventually ended the relationship for good.
The Reunion update: Remember when Jake and Rae were planning to go on a trip? Yeah, that didn’t happen. Rae revealed, “We kind of came to a consensus that everybody needed more time to heal. And, I felt like it was really insensitive to kind of get on a plane and go somewhere else.”
Rae and Zay later reached out to each other to work things out and rekindle their relationship but decided to finally part ways for the better.
And as for Rae and Jake, they’re still good friends. I mean, look:
Alexis Maloney (25) and Hunter Parr (28)
This couple had been dating two years prior to their reality TV debut. Alexis said she wanted to get married but Hunter, on the other hand, didn’t know if he was ready.
The show for Alexis and Hunter was overall an experience, as they tried to date other contestants but alas, true love always prevails. Hunter proposed to Alexis and the couple went away to live their happily ever after. It looks like they are still together to this day.
The Reunion update: Wedding plans are on for these two and we *can’t* wait to see the wedding dress. Hunter and Alexis are currently living together with their dog. Goals, honestly.
Shanique Imari (24) and Randall Griffin (26)
For these two, Shanique was the one to give Randall the ultimatum, saying that she wanted a huge wedding while Randall wanted to wait until he was out of debt to get married.
The couple connected with several other contestants, but when they finally returned to each other, Randall made it clear that he still hasn’t made a decision. Later, Randall proposed to Shanique and it was emotional, to say the least. *Grabs tissues and cries a river*.
The Reunion update: A lil’ bit of sad news, Shanique and Randall broke up after six months of being engaged. Shanique called Randall her best friend and “one of the best things that ever happened”.
But, wait, good news, they’re currently back together and are working on their relationship. BRB, fangirling rn.
Madlyn Ballatori (24) and Colby Kissinger (25)
After a year and a half of dating, Colby knew that Madlyn was the one for him. So, he chose to give her an ultimatum.
Throughout the show, it was clear to us that Madlyn loved Colby, but was she ready to marry him? Nope. At least, that’s what we think after she said “The only thing scarier than losing you right now would be to marry you.” YIKES.
Their love for each other didn’t stop the couple from branching out to create romantic connections with other contestants. Colby proposes to Madlyn in episode nine and she says *yes* to getting married on the same day. Aw, they found their way back to each other. Mabrook to the married couple!
The Reunion update: We have the first The Ultimatum baby here. Madlyn is seven months pregnant with their first child together, if you’re wondering, it’s a baby girlll.
As of March 2, Madlyn Ballatori and Colby Kissinger have welcomed their first child, Josephine Riley Kissinger.
