Jessica Grace Booker and Edris Khalieque were one of the original six couples who were introduced in season 4 of Netflix’s ‘The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On.’ They had first met in a hotel lobby, where she made the first move, and their relationship blossomed from there. She had always envisioned a connection built on mutual commitment and teamwork, which she ultimately found in Edris. Just a month later, they signed a lease and moved in together. Although they were on the same page about several values, he wasn’t sure whether Jessica’s perspective on boundaries matched his. After two years of their relationship, Edris’ reluctance to propose pushed her to give him an ultimatum.
Jessica Grace Booker and Edris Khalieque’s Journey Ended With a Heartfelt Engagement
When Jessica Grace Booker and Edris Khalieque were introduced on the show, they had been together for 2 years. Although both of them wanted to start a family and have children, he didn’t feel ready to propose and hoped the experience would bring them clarity. While Jessica wanted to understand her place in Edris’ life, he explained that she had repeatedly crossed boundaries. He admitted she had never been unfaithful, but he wanted to know whether they shared the same expectations for accountability and respect. As the experiment unfolded, Jessica explored another connection with Luke Wesselhoff, while Edris found Alex Johnsen attractive.
During the cocktail party, Edris told Jessica he wanted to approach their connection with a “clean slate” rather than hold onto past grievances. He reminded her she was free to walk away at any time. However, she made it clear that whenever she pictured marriage and children, she could envision a future only with him. On the Choice Day, as Luke reflected that Jessica would be a great wife, Edris stunned everyone by walking away from the table to pick an engagement ring. He then walked up to her and asked her to marry him, which she gladly accepted. Edris confessed that the experiment reaffirmed that Jessica made him feel truly cherished, while she expressed how deeply she loved him and wanted to face every challenge of life together.
Jessica Grace and Edris Have Separated, Keeping the Details About Their Split Largely Private
After their engagement, Jessica Grace and Edris stepped into the real world, hopeful about the next chapter of their lives. However, during the reunion, they revealed that they had broken off their engagement shortly after since he felt conflicted about it. Edris explained that he was overwhelmed by his own intense emotions during filming and felt he had no other choice but to propose to his long-time partner. He had hoped to enter a trial marriage with Alex, but when she had to leave the show, his only other option was to either let go of Jessica or propose to her. So, he felt as if he acted under pressure, resulting in them not even celebrating their engagement after leaving the show midway.
Jessica also divulged during the reunion that after the breakup, she and Edris were still in a limbo as they were traveling together and working on their connection. However, during that time, he tried to pursue Alex, which became the final straw. He admitted to texting the latter but clarified that he did so only because he and Jessica had already broken up. They admitted that what they shared had gotten messy, so they believe it’s best that they have parted ways for good. In July 2026, she shared a video in which she discussed others’ opinions of Edris and how they felt he seemed to be under the influence. Jessica clarified that if he were not sober, she would never have gotten engaged to him on the show. As of writing, they continue to follow each other on their respective Instagram pages. All of these may indicate that they have remained on amicable terms.
