Before long, they realized the vivacity of their connection and shared that they were in love with one another. Ultimately, they walked away from the show hand in hand as an engaged couple waiting to be married. After the show, not only did they visit Puerto Rico together, but they also got to deepen their connection away from the spotlight.
In January 2022, the couple decided to take the next step in their relationship and move together. After Mariela decided to relocate from Maryland, she and Kenny decided to sign a lease in Chicago. Later that year, they also adopted a dog and named him Eleven. Since then, the couple has been working on perfecting their wedding plans.

Before long, the two disappeared from each other’s socials, giving way to rumours and speculations. Ultimately, they announced their split through a since-deleted post on Instagram that read, “We have decided to go our separate ways. Never did we imagine this, but we’ve come to a point where we both need to work on ourselves.”
Later, Christian also shared his feelings in a heartfelt post that has been since deleted. He wrote, “ It takes a while for me to heal, but I thank you all for your patience. This has not at all been an easy time. This has been one of the most difficult times of my life, but as with everything I always do my best to move forward with hopeful and positive spirits.” Since their parting, the duo have continued to find their individual paths.
