Which ‘Sneaky Links’ Couples Are Still Together? We Finally Have
WARNING: Spoilers about Netflix’s Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark ahead!
PSA: your new fave reality TV obsession just dropped, in the form of Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark.
The addictive new show sees six singles check into a motel in the hopes of finding love, except instead of being intro’d to new people, they actually are forced to come face-to-face with their sneaky links—and made to undergo a series of challenges testing their compatibility with said sneaky link. The reason? To see if they will check out alone, or as a couple. (Whoever came up with this concept needs a raise).
The drama is also cranked up a notch with the addition of a number of “late check-ins” including a Playboy model and professional basketball player.
We quickly binged our way through the first season (fingers crossed for another!) and have one question on our minds…what couples are still together? Speaking to Swoon, the show’s host Chloe Veitch has teased a major twist about the show’s verdict, saying: “I can say that you’re genuinely not going to see this curveball coming”
Cue: some serious IG sleuthing. To discover what we found out, keep scrolling.
Which Sneaky Links couples are still together?
Bad news for anyone secretly pining for their own sneaky link, none of the OG sneaky link pairings (which would consist of: Manny and Samira, Angelique and Travis, Avery and Colt, Nicole S. and Brandon, Zoe and Kyle, and Nicole V. and Travis) checked out as a couple.
At the final episode there were four couples formed from various individuals in the motel, but did they check out together and do they still seem to be an item?
Netflix
Avery and Manny
One couple we were rooting for? Avery, a 26-year-old recruiter whose sneaky link was Colt, and Manny, a 26-year-old travel nurse whose sneaky link was Samira.
In the finale, the duo agreed to leave the motel as a couple and Manny said: “I’ve walked in with a sneaky link mindset. I’ve always had trouble committing, and now I think the relationship I’ve established with Avery has allowed me to grow. I’m like, ‘No, don’t be scared of it. Just take a risk,’” he said. “I feel good and I’m finally feeling excited about something. For me and Avery, I think the world is our oyster.”
Cut to: a year later, and the duo are still going strong! Yes, Avery and Manny are still together and appear very much in love. Avery broke the news on Instagram, sharing some sweet pics from their year together and writing in part, “Time flies when ur having fun!! (mostly) can’t believe I met u a whole year ago.”
Manny, meanwhile, shared a photo of the two celebrating the premiere of Sneaky Links, and joking about their time on the show, writing, “Cat is out of the bag!!! I’m still trying trying to have intellectual conversations with her.”
Jacie and Brandon
This may not come as a surprise to anyone, but Jacie, a 26-year-old bartender and late check-in to the show, and Brandon, a 27-year-old nightclub owner whose sneaky link was Nicole S., did not check out together. Jacie decided to leave on her own and Brandon, who had flirted with multiple girls throughout the season, was forced to check out solo.
They do, however, appear to be on good terms: they are mutuals on IG, after all.
Netflix
Zoé and Travis
Two absolute cuties Zoé, a 29-year-old fashion brand owner whose sneaky link was Kyle, and Travis, a 31-year-old account executive whose sneaky link was Angelique, had an undeniable connection throughout the show, even as they got to know other contestants. We were rooting for these two, so it was a relief to see them leave the motel together.
“I think it’s nice to experience each other outside of everyone else and all the other couples and all the other tests and challenges,” said Zoé in the finale. “Of course, there will be other tests and challenges, but it’ll be nice to have a focus point right now.”
Fans suspected that these two had made it beyond the show. Travis was very active on Zoé’s Instagram post-filming, leaving flirty comments like, “Someone call The Louvre, a masterpiece away.” And it looks like the fans were right!
Zoé and Travis confirmed that they are still together with matching Instagram posts shared Saturday, May 31. “I can’t seem to get rid of this man,” Zoé captioned her carousel, giving fans a little look into what they’ve been up to this past year. Travis captioned his, “Stop asking, just watch :).”
Kelsey and Colt
Colt, a 32-year-old sales consultant, initially paired up with his sneaky link, the 30-year-old law student Angelique. However, his “head was turned” (to quote Love Island) thanks to a certain late check-in named Kelsey.
Kelsey is a 24-year-old fashion website manager and model who caught Colt’s eye, leading to a love triangle. Ultimately, at the series finale, Colt told Kelsey he loved her and they left as a couple. To date, they’re still following one another on IG, but one week after the premiere, they both confirmed that they are no longer together.
