The Ultimatum Season 2: Which Couples Are Still Together? - The Messenger
It's time to break the news.The Messenger's slogan

The Ultimatum Season 2 has finally come to a close — but these couples haven't. After a wild season of television — which included everything from blowout fights to a surprise pregnancy — today the finale and the reunion of the Netflix reality dating series premiered on the service. And now, we finally have answers of which relationships are going the distance — and, hint hint, it's more than you might think.

For the first time, all four couples who made it through the experiment got engaged — and stayed engaged.

From Ryann and James' high school sweetheart story to Lisa and Brian's baby update, here's where all the couples in The Ultimatum Season 2 are now.

Lisa and Brian

These two famously dipped out of the experiment early once Lisa received a positive result from her pregnancy test. But, in new footage shown at the reunion, Lisa saw that, just like the fans, her fellow cast members — including Roxanne and Antonio — weren't exactly convinced that her explanation was true.

And while Lisa doesn't have a ring on her finger just yet, she and Brian are still happily together and welcomed their baby boy seven weeks before shooting the reunion. But that didn't mean all of their communication issues were immediately solved.

"After leaving the show, we were like, we need to work on us," Lisa said during the special. "We need to figure out what we're doing — if we're gonna be together and be great parents, or if we're gonna separate and be great parents. There's no other option but being great parents, but we need to figure out if we're doing that together or separately. Obviously, we are still together." Ready those silver Ultimatum baby bottles!

Ryann and James

After seven years of dating, James still wasn't sure if he was ready to put a ring on the finger of high school sweetheart Ryann. But the minute he saw her in an emotional relationship with Riah's partner Trey, James figured out his feelings — as did Ryann. During the season finale, she excitedly accepted his proposal, and the two revealed during the reunion that they got engaged again during a weekend trip to the mountains.

Plus, they'll be married sooner rather than later — the happy couple also shared that their wedding will be on Sept. 30. Mazel tov to these two — and their, ahem, interesting life in the bedroom, which was also heavily featured in the reunion.

Before the experiment, Trey and Riah were dealing with a host of issues, from city versus suburbs to a somewhat-disappointing sex life. But through trial marriages with Ryann and James, respectively, these two worked through their problems — mostly.

During the season finale, Riah accepted Trey's proposal (with the caveat that they may live separately while engaged, as Riah still wants to reside in the city); during the reunion, the two said their relationship feels like "night and day" compared to before the show, and are planning a destination wedding for spring 2025. But all texts between Trey and Ryann better be in a group chat with James and Riah, ya hear?

Roxanne and Antonio

Before The Ultimatum, Roxanne was focused pretty solely on her business — a nipple pasties company called Pasted(nip). Antonio, meanwhile, never felt good enough for Roxanne, who wanted a partner who understood the hustle of entrepreneurship. Luckily in the reunion, Antonio revealed he's getting into the business game himself — now, he owns a Georgia car wash that he plans on converting into a car customization shop.

Oh yeah! And they're still engaged! Despite her hesitations about the concept of marriage, Roxanne said yes during the season finale — although she chose not to wear her ring during the reunion, and revealed she hadn't since the day after her proposal. Maybe it comes off during the car customizations?

Kat and Alex

Kat and Alex are pretty much polar opposites — she's quiet and compromising, while he butted heads with trial wife Roxanne over cleaning the house. And even though Antonio accused Alex of having feelings for Roxanne (something Alex vehemently denied, instead saying Roxanne didn't "respect" Antonio), this couple came back together stronger than ever, getting engaged in the season finale and showing off their special save-the-dates during the reunion. Anyone need plans for May 10, 2024?
