What happens when you combine contestants from Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle and more Netflix reality TV shows? The answer is a whole lot of drama… with a side of romance. Ever since Netflix’s answer to Bachelor in Paradise premiered, fans have wanted to know which Perfect Match couples are still together and what happened to each of the final pairs after filming ended. Well, we have the answer to Season 1 ahead.
The Perfect Match is Netflix’s reality TV dating series featuring contestants from across multiple Netflix reality shows——including Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, The Circle, Squid Game: The Challenge, and The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On—as they date each other and compete in compatibility challenges as couples. The series—which is hosted by Nick Lachey, who also co-hosts Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum—follows a similar format to other reality dating shows like Bachelor in Paradise and Love Island, as the singles couple up from week to week with contestants left without a partner sent home.
New contestants also arrive each week, providing the opportunity for new couples and testing already established relationships. The series ends with the cast voting for who, among the final remaining couples, is the perfect match, with that couple winning an all-expenses-paid vacation anywhere in the world.
Netflix’s reality TV dating shows don’t have the best track record, with only a few couples still together from series like Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, and The Ultimatum. Does The Perfect Match have better luck?

Read on for if any Perfect Match couples are still together now and what happened to the final pairs after filming ended.

He’s amazing and I feel like we tried to see where things could go after the show,” Georgia told People at the time. “We were just both in very different situations and we’re both from so far away from each other, Australia, Canada. I feel like when you’re in that environment you’re like, ‘Oh, it’s going to be fine. We’ll make it happen.’”
She continued, “But then you come out and everything seems to not flow the way it did in that environment where everything’s handed to you and you’re just there. We tried to see how it go, and it just, unfortunately, didn’t work out. Dom, for his part, told People that he still had “so much love” for Georgia. “I think she has a beautiful soul, a beautiful heart inside and out. I think any guy that’s with her is so lucky to have her, I think they’re the luckiest man on Earth,” he said. “Obviously, after the show, there’s distance. She’s from Australia, I’m from Canada. It’s hard.”
He also explained that he and Georgia “tried our best to make it work and keep in contact,” but they decided in the end to “focus on ourselves and see what the future holds.” “And if we meet again and the connection is still strong, then we’ll carry on and see where it went,” he said. Georgia and Dom did not get back together, as Georgia went on to date Too Hot to Handle Season 1 contestant Harry Jowsey, while Dom competed on Season 2 of The Perfect Match with Harry following both of their splits from Georgia.

He continnued, “It’s not like it was a lot of drama, but I think that you could see when you watch the show, we’re the type of people that when our highs are high, they’re extremely high.
