Lady luck isn’t always present when it comes to relationships in the entertainment industry, and yet Giannina Gibelli and Blake Horstmann turned out to be among the lucky ones. Not only did the TV personalities find their way to each other, but are even currently busy spending the young years of their lives together, happily in love.

Gibelli, for one, had her fair share of failed relationships before meeting her current partner. She appeared on season 1 of Love Is Blind, which went so far as her getting engaged to her co-star Damian Powers. However, while the pair split on their wedding day only to reconnect when the cameras stopped rolling, they called it quits for good in 2021 after Powers was reportedly accused of cheating on Gibelli with Francesca Farago (which he denied).

Snagging screen time on popular reality TV shows will work wonders for nearly anyone’s social currency. This is especially true when it comes to platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. That just so happens to be the case for none other than Mari Pepin, a fan-favorite who previously served as a contestant on ABC’s The Bachelor. Here’s why her social media presence has been so positively impacted following her time starring on the show.

Mari Pepin’s Social Media Popularity

Some contestants from Bachelor Nation sign up for the show with deep-seated hopes of finding love, but they end up brokenhearted.

Perfect Match Fans Wish Another Couple Would Have Won

On this season of Perfect Match, viewers witnessed reality stars from a wide range of Netflix shows come together in search of their ideal partner. However, things didn’t quite go the way viewers thought they should.

Perfect Match/Netflix

After a drama-packed season, Perfect Match fans felt incredibly stunned when Too Hot To Handle alums Christine Obanor and Nigel Jones ultimately won.

After months of rumors and speculation about their relationship status, it seems that reality star Harry Jowsey and professional dancer Rylee Arnold unfollowed each other on Instagram.

This dramatic move comes just after Harry launched his new podcast, where he confirmed that he and Rylee were never romantically involved. But that’s not all — he also said some pretty demeaning things about the 18-year-old.

Now, internet sleuths think they found the reason why the pair ended their friendship altogether. Read on to get the scoop.

Harry Jowsey Seemingly Confirms Why He & Rylee Ended Their Friendship

But somewhere along the line, things went horribly wrong. Today, it seems that the two aren’t even...

From the moment Netflix star Harry Jowsey met dancer Rylee Arnold on the set of Dancing With The Stars, viewers believed it was a match made in heaven.

Harry and Rylee appeared to have impeccable chemistry on stage and behind the scenes too. The pair frequently made silly TikToks backstage and spent a lot of time together when they weren’t in the rehearsal room.

During the show and for months after the season ended, fans speculated they were a hot item. Nevertheless, neither Harry nor Rylee would confirm or deny the rumors.

Now, Harry Jowsey decided to shed some light on the relationship rumors. Read on and see what he had to say.

The world met Francesca Farago when she debuted on Too Hot To Handle Season 1 during the early days of the pandemic. She and her costar Harry Jowsey struck up a quick romance before it all ended in disaster and they went their separate ways. Now, Francesca wants to build a family with her new partner, Jesse Sulli.

Since Jesse is a transman, the couple turned to IVF to build their family. The couple documented the journey so far on Instagram. Sadly, the first embryo transfer didn’t work out. But Jesse and Francesca wouldn’t give up.

They recently shared a new update with fans. Keep reading to see where the family stands today.

Giannina Gibelli and Damian Powers’ messy romance was front-and-center in Love Is Blind Season 1. The pair were part of the first group of people to take part in Netflix’s blind dating experiment, which was filmed in 2018 and aired in 2020. Giannina and Damian connected in the pods and made it all the way to the altar before he shocked everyone by refusing to say “I do.”

But that memorable wedding day twist wasn’t the end of Giannina and Damian’s story. The couple reconciled after filming ended and stayed together for several years. Then, Damian showed up at the 2021 Love Is Blind: After the Altar reunion special with Too Hot to Handle star Francesca Farago on his arm. Giannina was understandably furious with her boyfriend’s behavior, and soon after they called it quits for good.

The new reality TV show Perfect Match captured viewers’ attention by giving attractive singles fun challenges in hopes they’d find love in the beautiful Panama City. Although none of the couples from the first season stayed together, their time on the show was mostly harmonious. Still, like any reality TV series, Perfect Match delivered plenty of drama. Season 1 portrayed Francesca Farago as a villain, she believes, and she has had enough of fellow contestant Georgia Hassarati’s comments about her.

The Georgia and Francesca drama

Tensions between Georgia and Francesca seemed minimal on the new Netflix reality series, at least after the initial awkwardness. Georgia came to the show and matched with Dom after Francesca broke things off with him. Francesca let it be known she didn’t think Georgia’s intentions were good, but over time, Georgia and Dom became a favorite couple. Eventually, they were crowned the “Perfect Match.

Perfect Match contestant Ines Tazi gained new fans with her sunny personality and refreshing attitude on the reality TV show.

NBCUniversal’s Peacock has announced a hot new reality dating show — but, you know, not really.

In an early April Fool’s Day stunt, Peacock announced a new show with language-learning app Duolingo: “Love Language,” purportedly following 10 “confident and flirty singles” from across the globe coming together “to share a house in paradise in hopes of finding true love.” The catch: None of them speaks the same language.

But the only thing real about the show is the trailer, which is available on the Peacock and Duolingo apps and on social channels (watch below).

The setup for the faux Tower of Babel-style dating competition goes like this: The sexy singles must take daily Duolingo language lessons and find a match by the end of each episode — or they’ll be kicked off the show by “the show’s iconic host and merciless judge, Duo the Owl.”

Unlike Love is Blind, Netflix’s latest dating reality tv show focuses more on strategy than finding love. The cast of Perfect Match consists of reality stars from various Netflix shows who hook up and fiercely compete to become the most compatible couple in the house.

This binge-worthy competition is cutthroat. The cast of fan favorites doesn’t hold back from ripping other couples apart to get ahead.

Hosted by Nick Lachey, contestants entering the Perfect Match villa in Panema City are familiar faces from Love is Blind, The Circle, Too Hot To Handle, and other popular reality shows.

Each day, their goal is to quickly get to know their housemates and find a match before the end of the night. However, an uneven number of people means two contestants will get eliminated. The pressure to find a partner is high.

Fans watched Georgia Hassarati and Francesca Farago not getting along on a new Netflix show. They continue to be at odds after the season. This time Hassarati accused Farago of using Perfect Match filming to manipulate Dom Gabriel.

Farago started the season coupled up with Gabriel. But she left him to go on a date with Damian Powers. Gabriel cried and said he was falling in love with Farago. He considered going home until Hassarati showed interest in him.

Farago wanted Gabriel to leave because she felt awkward around him. She and other cast members kept setting him up on dates, but it never worked.

The finale showed the couple claiming to be a perfect match. They won the vote and the prize of a trip together.
