The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On Season 3: Which couples are still together after the reunion?

Netflix's high-stakes relationship experiment The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On returned for its third season with six couples facing a make-or-break decision about their futures together.

The premise remains as compelling as ever: one partner issues an ultimatum to marry or move on, followed by a unique social experiment where couples separate, enter into trial marriages with other contestants, and ultimately decide whether to commit to their original partner or pursue a new path.

This season brought unprecedented drama, with two couples – Dave and Vanessa, along with Micah and Chanel – making early exits by episode 4.

The remaining four couples navigated emotional turbulence, trial marriage complications, and life-altering decisions. At The Ultimatum reunion, we witnessed tearful confrontations, shocking revelations, and updates on where these relationships stand today, nearly a year after filming wrapped.

What are the couples’ relationship status post The Ultimatum reunion?

Caleb Lefterys and Mariah Zernik: Still Engaged

In a heartwarming turn of events, Caleb and Mariah not only left The Ultimatum engaged but have maintained their commitment. The couple revealed plans for a destination wedding in the summer of 2026. However, their journey hasn't been without challenges.

At the reunion, they addressed the controversy surrounding Caleb's trial marriage partner, Aria, who accused him of social media games post-engagement.

"Leaving the show, it was a moment to restart building from a healthy place," Caleb reflected at the reunion and added:

"Leaving [the show], I had to take accountability for my actions and really take note of who I had become in this."

Scotty Lewis and Aria De Westbrooks: Separated

Despite their emotional proposal day on The Ultimatum, where Scotty declared, "I choose you right now, today, and for all of my tomorrows," their engagement lasted just one day. The reunion revealed deeply personal struggles, including Aria's miscarriage and the death of her grandmother post-show.

"You don't love me the way I want to be loved," Aria expressed through tears at the reunion, and further said,

"I'm not just giving up on the relationship because I don't care, it's because I'm tired and I'm emotionally exhausted."

Nick Tramontin and Sandy Gallagher: Separated

Their journey ended without a proposal, but the reunion revealed a complex post-show relationship. Sandy helped Nick enter rehab after he struggled with alcohol, while she expressed exhaustion from what she described as being "bombarded" by Nick's actions "every day" for the past year.

Zaina Sesay and J.R Warren: Separated

After J.R.'s decision to leave The Ultimatum single, their relationship continued to deteriorate. The reunion featured heated exchanges about their post-show interactions and J.R.'s behavior during filming. Both are currently single, with J.R. in therapy and Zaina focusing on personal growth, including freezing her eggs for her 33rd birthday.

Dave Adams and Vanessa Hattaway: Together

Despite their early exit, Dave and Vanessa returned to the reunion with positive news. They're still together and actively planning their future, having recently gone ring shopping. "It did help us progress in many different ways," Vanessa shared, while Dave confirmed,

"I am still 100% wanting to marry Vanessa and that is the clear next step."

Micah Hardeman and Chanel Watkins: Presumably Together

The only couple absent from The Ultimatum reunion, Micah and Chanel's early exit in episode 4 left many questions unanswered. However, social media suggests they've maintained their relationship post-show.

Looking back on Season 3 of The Ultimatum

This season of The Ultimatum proved particularly intense, with early exits, dramatic confrontations, and post-show developments that continued to impact the cast long after filming concluded.

The experiment's success rate remains mixed, with only two of the six original couples still together. However, the journey provided valuable insights for all participants, whether they found their way to marriage or discovered they needed to move on.

The raw emotions displayed at the reunion, from Nick's rehabilitation journey to Aria's personal losses, reminded viewers that behind the drama lies real people making life-changing decisions about love and commitment. As another season concludes, it's clear that while the experiment may not always lead to marriage, it certainly leads to clarity – whether welcome or not.
