Perfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (2024)

Summary

  • Alara and Stevan broke up post-Perfect Match. Alara thrives in modeling and social media.
  • Bryton transitioned from season 2 villain to fitness influencer. He is dating a WWE star.
  • Chris and Tolú didn't last post-show, but they both are doing well in their respective careers.

Perfect Match season 2 was one of the most anticipated reality TV shows of the summer, and while the drama didn't disappoint, it's time to give an update on where the cast members are after the show aired. Hosted by Nick Lachey, Perfect Match season 2 brought together the biggest stars from the Netflix universe in an attempt to find their perfect partner, who also happens to be a reality TV contestant.

With cast members from Love Is Blind to Too Hot To Handle, the boardroom meetings and drunken trysts made for a shocking season of betrayal and scheming. Standout cast members included Squid Games: The Challenge's Bryton Constantin, whose smirk and attitude managed to woo Too Hot To Handle's Elys Hutchinson, and The Trust's Tolú Ekundare, whose attitude and beauty captivated the villa. The drama surrounding Too Hot To Handle's Harry Jowsey and Love Is Blind's Jessica Vestal led to an explosive finale, but there are updates on all the cast members.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Alara Taneri

Alara Taneri has been living her best life since appearing in Perfect Match season 2. Early in Perfect Match, she formed a connection with Too Hot To Handle's Stevan Ditter. Throughout the show, Alara faced numerous challenges designed to test compatibility and emotional resilience, choosing to stay with Stevan over switching to Nigel Jones. Alara and Stevan were the most genuine couple in the house, but they broke up after the Perfect Match season 2 finale.

After the show, Alara maintained a strong public presence, leveraging her fame to build a substantial social media following. She regularly posts modeling photos and videos with her fellow Perfect Match season 2 cast members. While she keeps some aspects of her personal life private, Alara has been generous with sharing her unique fashion, modeling shots, and posts with her famous friends.

Bryton Constantin

Bryton was a bona fide villain in Perfect Match season 2. His treatment of Too Hot To Handle's Dominique Defoe was shocking, but his ability to turn Love Is Blind's Micah Lussier and Elys' heads was even more mind-boggling. Originally known as an insufferable contestant on Squid Games: The Challenge, Bryton has now transitioned into a successful fitness influencer. Despite a turbulent relationship with Dominique on the show, Bryton's strategy and villainous personality left a lasting impression.

Bryton's gameplay seemed to be targeting women he felt were vulnerable or weak.

Today, Bryton has built a substantial social media presence and is closely associated with brands like Fashion Nova and NovaMEN, promoting their fashion products. He also collaborates with EHPlabs, a supplement manufacturer, aligning with his fitness passion. With around 72k followers on Instagram, Bryton shares fitness routines and vlogs on YouTube and engages fans on Snapchat, TikTok, and Cameo. Bryton is also dating Jasmine Nyx, a WWE star. He continues to grow in the media and entertainment industry, making a significant impact while residing in Clemson, South Carolina.

Chris HahnPerfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (2)

Chris Hahn first appeared on Netflix's ill-fated show Dated And Related, but he became a prominent member of the Perfect Match villa. Originally brought in as a potential date for Dominique, his fetishization of her sexuality spelled trouble for the pair. However, Chris made a move on Tolú, and both left their respective dates for each other and stayed together for most of the season. While Chris betrayed Tolú on the boys' beach day, she still chose to match with him going into the finale.

While it seems Chris and Tolú are no longer together, the model and reality TV star is doing well. He lives in Los Angeles, California, where he is represented by Ace Models Athens. Chris doesn't have many posts with fellow cast members from Perfect Match, but he does regularly share photos from modeling shoots and funny videos making fun of his time on reality TV on his Instagram.

Christine Obanor

Christine Obanor's time in the Perfect Match villa was short-lived but packed a punch. The 6'1" beauty immediately caught Dated And Related's Kaz Bishop's eye, tempting him at the boys' beach day. While he didn't kiss her, the chemistry between the pair was clear, and after a fallout with Micah, Kaz finally chose to match with Christine. However, she ended up matching with Nigel Euro, and the two won Perfect Match season 2.

After her brief stint, Christine continued building her illustrious modeling career. Represented by Slash Management, the Californian goddess regularly posts modeling shots on her Instagram, collaborating with Fashion Nova and White Fox Boutique. She doesn't appear to be in a relationship with anyone but herself.

Elys Hutchinson

Elys' first mistake in the villa was falling for notable playboy Harry, but she spent the rest of the season trying to get back at the fellow Too Hot To Handle star. While she and Surviving Paradise's Justin Assada seemed to have an amicable relationship, there were no sparks. Elys shocked everyone by matching with Bryton to get back at Micah ahead of the finale, but there's no doubt Elys painted herself as a bit of a villain on Perfect Match.

After the show, Elys, unsurprisingly, broke things off with Bryton, but she's not single. In October 2023, she announced her relationship with Nathan Soan Mngomezulu from Too Hot to Handle season 3, which Nathan hinted at in a TikTok video. Despite rumors of a breakup in April 2024, Elys and Nathan are still together as of June 2024.

Harry Jowsey

Harry is certainly the most talked about cast member from Perfect Match season 2. After ditching Elys for North Carolinian beauty Jess Vestal, he nearly threw away his relationship with Jess by allegedly kissing Too Hot To Handle's Melinda Berry. While he adamantly claimed the kiss never happened, Jess' trust in him was broken.

Harry later hinted in a 2024 podcast episode that he and Jess ended up together after the show, as they were together in Mexico in June 2023. However, Harry revealed on his podcast, Boyfriend Material, that they eventually broke up partly due to rumors of him dating his Dancing With the Stars partner, Rylee Arnold, despite his claims of being faithful.

Harry disclosed that he was in a secret relationship during Dancing With the Stars and intended to propose to Jessica, even buying an engagement ring and expensive jewelry. Their relationship ended when Jess didn't show up for a planned proposal in Los Angeles, leading Harry to block her on social media. Despite not following each other on Instagram, Harry posted a video of them together on TikTok in June 2024, causing confusion about their relationship status.

Harry and Rylee, who competed together on Dancing With the Stars season 32, were rumored to be dating after being seen holding hands at a concert in October 2023. Harry reiterated their platonic relationship on his podcast in April 2024, explaining they set boundaries from the start to protect Rylee from his complicated past and the pressures of dating in the public eye. Nevertheless, Harry's love life is still a mess after Perfect Match season 2.

Izzy Zapata

Perfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (3)

Izzy Zapata had a tough run on Perfect Match season 2. After attempting to match up with Micah and having a short-lived connection with Tolú, he left the villa until last week's episodes, when Micah matched with him at the last moment. She lost Kaz to Christine and Bryton to Elys, so he was her final; a pity match.

Izzy started dating beautiful blonde Shelby Webb after breaking up with Stacey Snyder in Love Is Blind season 5. However, it seems Izzy and Shelby have broken up since October 2023, as she hasn't appeared on his social media feed in months. Izzy is focused on building his brand as an influencer and sharing financial advice after fixing his credit.

Jessica Vestal

Jess got caught up in Harry's charm and lies in Perfect Match season 2, but she's the one laughing all the way to the bank. After gaining popularity on Love Is Blind season 6 and getting rejected by Jimmy Presnell, Jess had a whirlwind romance with the biggest playboy on reality TV. Despite his constant lovebombing and manipulation of her emotions, Jess fell hard for Harry in Perfect Match.

Harry accusing Melinda of coming on Perfect Match for clout was particularly ironic given the fact that he and Jess were also on the show to gain popularity and attention.

Jess and Harry stayed together for months after filming but broke up after he allegedly began dating his Dancing With The Stars co-star, Rylee Arnold. Harry has been public about his time with Jess on and after Perfect Match, but she's keeping her cards close to her chest. She's become one of the most popular reality TV stars, with over one million followers on Instagram. Jess consistently posts videos of her emerging modeling career and daily life with her 11-year-old daughter, Autumn.

Kaz Bishop

Kaz was playing the game in Perfect Match season 2. After refusing to match with Micah on the first night, he later aligned with her for several episodes, though he was attracted to other women throughout the show, including Christine, Brittan Byrd, and Holly Scarfone. He ultimately ditched Micah on the eve of the finale, but they never had much chemistry in the first place. Since Perfect Match, Kaz has been busy with his modeling career and working as an ambassador for NovaMEN.

Micah Lussier

Micah was a prominent cast member on Perfect Match season 2, matching up with Kaz for a majority of the season before a kiss shared between Kaz and Holly resulted in an explosive breakup. Despite her lack of attraction to Izzy, she matched with him going into the finale, essentially giving up any chance at winning the show. However, between Perfect Match and Love Is Blind, Micah built an influencing career that made the heartbreak worth it.

Micah is active on Instagram, posting regularly about her travels, modeling deals, and friendships with cast members, especially Dated And Related's Alara. While she appears to be single, Micah is thriving, having made the move from Seattle, Washington, to Los Angeles. She and Kaz didn't work out, but she did fix her villainous reputation from Love Is Blind.

Stevan DitterPerfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (4)

Stevan was a bad boy on Too Hot To Handle but redeemed himself on Perfect Match season 2. While he was tested with the pink-haired Brittan on a date, he ultimately remained faithful to Alara. The pair are no longer together after the show, but Stevan is still thriving. The tattooed model continues to work in the industry and tours with his band, FTHR FGR. When he's not rocking out or serving withering looks, Stevan likes to share moody selfies and mirror pics.

Tolú EkundarePerfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (5)

Tolú is one of the breakout stars from Perfect Match season 2. After becoming one of the winners of The Trust, Tolú was a divided character. However, her performance on Perfect Match skyrocketed in popularity, with her maturity and humor shining through in every scene. While she originally matched with Izzy and then Perfect Match season 1 winner Dom Gabriel, she and Chris ultimately sailed their way to the finale.

Alongside her marketing career, Tolú is also a successful model, captivating audiences with her charisma and passion for travel. Her love for exploring new cultures and traditions has taken her to various destinations worldwide, enriching her perspective on life. However, she's been able to capitalize on her fame and has become an influencer and model since starring in two Netflix reality TV shows.

Trevor SovaPerfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (6)

Trevor Sova barely appeared in Perfect Match season 2 after the disastrous fallout from Love Is Blind season 6. While he originally presented as a hunky but sweet man, text messages after the show revealed he was actually in a serious relationship when he went on Love Is Blind. Luckily for Kinetic Content, Trevor didn't make any connections on Perfect Match, and they were able to give him as little screen time as possible. Trevor is lying low, as his social media is currently disabled.

Justin Assada

Perfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (7)

Justin first appeared on Surviving Paradise, and while he was a lesser-known cast member going into Perfect Match, his pairing with Elys garnered curiosity about the Netflix star. Unfortunately, making a great cup of coffee for Elys in the morning didn't cut it for the Too Hot To Handle beauty, and Elys jumped ship at the last moment for Bryton. Justin is still hurt over Elys' treatment, but he's been making jokes about his appearance on Perfect Match on his Instagram.

Brittan ByrdPerfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (8)

Brittan came into the villa to tempt Stevan, but when she was unsuccessful, she went after Kaz. While the Dated And Related star wasn't quite ready to leave Micah, Brittan sowed seeds of doubt in his mind. The Hawaiian surfer girl may have left the villa alone, but she's doing fine. Brittan is modeling, living in Los Angeles, and sharing her friendship with Dominique on her Instagram.

Nigel Jones

Perfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (9)

Nigel came in hot on Perfect Match, flirting with Alara despite her allegiance to Stevan. While there were attempts to get him to turn Micah's head, the handsome Too Hot To Handle bad boy was unsuccessful. Despite his lack of love in the villa, Nigel's thriving after filming. Today, he's a model and personal trainer, regularly posting workout videos and photos on his Instagram. Nigel also has maintained a friendship with many of the men in the house, evidenced by their posts together.

Holly ScarfonePerfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (10)

Holly tried her best to enter the villa in Perfect Match season 2, but she wasn't successful. After attempting to flirt with Kaz and even causing the ultimate breakup between him and Micah, Kaz still went with Christine. She seemed relatively uninterested in the house's men and was one of the few women to speak up in defense of Melinda in her accusations against Harry. Today, Holly splits her time between Los Angeles and London and is one of the biggest modeling stars from Netflix reality TV. She recently appeared on the cover of Vogue Mexico.

Melinda Berry

Melinda came into the villa ready to stir the pot, creating one of the most dramatic moments in reality TV. After accusing playboy Harry of kissing her during the boys' beach day, the Too Hot To Handle troublemaker claimed he never kissed Melinda. Denouncing her as a clout chaser, Harry discredited Melinda at every turn. However, as a successful runway model and host of Dated And Related, Melinda didn't need Harry to get her 15 minutes of fame. Today, Melinda is continuing her runway career and dispelling rumors of her dishonesty.

Dom Gabriel

Dom may have won Perfect Match season 1, but he didn't have the same luck in season 2. After clearly not having an attraction to Tolú, he attempted to sway Alara away from Stevan. Unfortunately, no one was particularly interested in Dom, who largely served as Harry's best friend during the season. Since the show, Dom launched a podcast called Dom Meets World, gaining popularity on social media, amassing over 700K Instagram followers and over a million on TikTok. Besides his online presence, Dom is part of a band named Don't Call and started a jewelry line called Roxas.

Jake CunninghamPerfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (11)

Jake Cunningham didn't get much time on Perfect Match. After being sent on a date with Tolú, she unceremoniously chose to match with Chris, sending him out of the house. He didn't connect with anyone else but didn't seem upset with the lack of screen time or romantic adventure. Jake has been traveling, modeling, and hanging by the pool since appearing on his second Netflix show.

Dominique DefoePerfect Match Season 2: Where Are They Now? (12)

Dominique made the mistake of matching with Bryton in the house, citing her propensity towards toxicity. The pair were fighting on the first night, and Dominique reached the end of her rope when Bryton questioned her engineering knowledge. She never got another chance on Perfect Match, but Dominique made some great friends. Dominique and Brittan are besties and have been hanging out frequently since filming ended. Next time she appears on reality TV, Dominique should get to pair up with female contestants.

Xanthi Perdikomatis

Xanthi Perdikomatis was a girls' girl on Perfect Match, keeping an eye out for her fellow women on the show. She also had a high level of self-respect, refusing to play into the boys' flirtiness on beach day and abstaining from the kissing competition. Post-show, Xanthi travels frequently to cities like London, New York, and Canada, showcasing her glamorous lifestyle and modeling.

Beyond Xanthi's influencer and modeling career, she is an entrepreneur, partnering with brands like Pretty Little Things, Elephant Sports Wear, and Akira. Xanthi is also close to her family and remains active on Instagram, highlighting her fashion and styling talents. She continues to hustle and aims for greater achievements in her career after Perfect Match.

Perfect Match seasons 1-2 are available to stream on Netflix.
