Bravo TV’s ‘Love Without Borders’ is a dating reality television series that helps eligible singles who find it difficult to find love within their homeland and have tried their luck in the modern dating scene but to no avail. Season 1 introduced Philip “Phil” Michael Thomas Jr., who was done with the whole local dating scene in Atlanta, Georgia, and decided it was time to find love based on the traditional norms outside his country. He put his faith and hope in relationship expert Arica Angelo, who matched him with the stunning Carmen Holzer-Nkrumah, a resident of Ghana.
Therefore, Phil packed his bags and decided to find his soulmate in the beautiful land of Ghana in the western part of Africa. Though the pair had a smooth sailing journey for the most part, the relationship still faced bumps. Fans must be curious to know if the pair split up or managed to build their lives around each other before one of their visas expired.
Phil and Carmen’s Had a Really Smooth Journey
Phil and Carmen were both smitten with each other as soon as they met but decided to take things slow. Phil, who comes from a famous family of musicians, wished to continue the legacy of his father, the brilliant Philip Michael Thomas, and find a woman who has similar ideas about families as he comes from a close-knit family with 15 siblings! He had prepared himself by emptying his heart to make space for a real relationship, a partner with whom he could completely open up and call his “soulmate.” Carmen, too, wanted someone who she could trust and who would make her feel loved and special.
Musician and artist Phil remained single for over seven months and celibate for four before he found love in Carmen, who works in fashion. The pair’s journey was smooth and filled with romantic gestures and experiences. In one instance, the duo planned a beautiful picnic near a picturesque waterfall where they spoke about their feelings for each other, and Phil even surprised Carmen with a big bouquet of flowers. On receiving the flowers, Carmen asked, “What did I do to deserve those,” to which Phil replied, “Because you deserve the world.”
They continued their share of sweet moments till it got ruined by a bee that stung Carmen, and they had to wrap up their date. Phil’s affection for Carmen grew stronger, and it was clear that he had her name imprinted in his heart. He even told his friends that he is a “hopeless romantic” after he made an original song for Carmen expressing his true feelings for her. Therefore, of course, they’d made plans to be together by the end.
Phil and Carmen Are No Longer Involved
Unfortunately, it appears as if Phil and Carmen decided to part ways for good not long after filming came to an end. The former has actually since told Bravo they simply weren’t right for one another before adding, “This experience with Carmen, it didn’t really turn out the way that I wanted it to, but it also let me know that love can be anywhere. And I deserve love — somebody who will put my needs before theirs. And I’m open to seeing where the universe takes me.” Therefore, today, even though neither the musician nor the fashion entrepreneur are very active on their respective social media platforms, it appears as if they’re content with where they stand. We certainly them all the luck in the world.
