The Ultimatum Season 3: Which couples are still together?

Netflix's latest season of The Ultimatum has brought us another deliciously chaotic experiment in love, commitment, and questionable decision-making.

The show's third season, which kicked off on December 4th, 2024, follows six couples at a crossroads in their relationships. The premise? One partner has issued an ultimatum: put a ring on it or call it quits.

But here's where things get spicy – before making their final decision, these couples temporarily split up and enter into "trial marriages" with other contestants. It's like spouse-swapping meets marriage boot camp, and we're here for all the drama only on The Ultimatum.

The first eight episodes of The Ultimatum dropped on Netflix first, with three more having aired on December 11th.

As we eagerly await the final two episodes coming on December 19th, we've got six couples trying to figure out their futures: Sandy and Nick, Zaina and J.R., Micah and Chanel, Vanessa and Dave, Scotty and Aria, and Mariah and Caleb. From secret meetups to surprise exits and everything in between, let's dive into how each couple is faring in this relationship pressure cooker on The Ultimatum.

Which couples are still together on The Ultimatum Season 3?

Sandy and Nick: A Tale of Jealousy and Trial Love

After two and a half years together, 38-year-old Nick and 27-year-old Sandy entered the experiment, with Nick pushing for marriage. Their journey has been anything but smooth sailing, especially after Sandy's connection with J.R. drove Nick to what she described as being "possessive and controlling."

Nick found himself particularly frustrated, feeling like Sandy was "getting her cake and eating it" by maintaining both relationships. While they're attempting to reconcile, Sandy's two kisses with J.R. during their trial marriage have stirred the pot.

Zaina and J.R.: Testing Trust

Three years into their relationship, 32-year-old Zaina and 33-year-old J.R. are navigating choppy waters. While J.R. developed a physical and emotional connection with Sandy during his trial marriage, Zaina's pairing with Scotty remained strictly platonic.

The revelation of J.R.'s kisses with Sandy has Zaina demanding answers, though she remains focused on their future, pondering aloud, "We just have to figure out if we're ready to take that next step, and do life together … or not."

Micah and Chanel: Love Conquers All?

This pair might be our success story of the season. Despite the initial separation, Micah's heart clearly stayed with Chanel. As he candidly admitted during his trial marriage, "Tonight is awkward. With Chanel, it's never awkward. She's the person that I can't wait to see every day."

The couple eventually chose love over the experiment, leaving together – and based on their recent social media activity, including Chanel's flirty "Mine 🤍😏💋" comment on Micah's post, things are looking promising.

Vanessa and Dave: The Early Exit

After Vanessa issued her ultimatum to Dave, the couple's story took an unexpected turn when they chose to leave the experiment together.

Vanessa later defended their decision on Instagram, stating, "I know I just had to do what was best for my mental health. You're only seeing 1%."

Scotty and Aria: Growing Pains

Their three-year relationship faces new challenges as they reunite after their trial marriages. Scotty's blunt assessment of their dynamic, including accusations about Aria's negative energy and inability to validate his decisions, suggests more drama ahead for this couple.

Mariah and Caleb: Finding Their Way

As the youngest contestant at 24, Mariah's desire for commitment is clear:

"I want to experience as much of the love as I possibly can fit into my lifetime."

While Caleb's successful trial marriage with Aria left Mariah feeling insecure, his heartfelt confession that "There's something [about] the way you make me feel in our relationship that I've never felt before" hints at the potential for their future together.

What to expect next from Season 3 of The Ultimatum?

As we await the final episodes dropping on December 19th, the fate of these six couples hangs in the balance. From secret exits to steamy connections and brutal honesty sessions, this season has already delivered more drama than we bargained for.

While some couples like Micah and Chanel seem to have found their way back to each other, others are still navigating the choppy waters of trust, commitment, and compatibility. Will the ultimatums lead to weddings or heartbreak? One thing's for sure – this experiment has pushed each relationship to its limits, for better or worse.
