Season 1 of Netflix’s ‘Age of Attraction’ introduces several single individuals from different age groups who hope not to be held captive by the parameters of age to find their soulmate. Several couples formed throughout the season, and among them were Libby Vodicka and Andrew Wheeler, who truly stood out. Their connection didn’t begin with speed dating but rather during the first adventurous activity of water rafting. From that moment on, their conversations seemed effortless, filled with laughter, curiosity, and a growing sense of comfort with one another. However, their 16-year age gap and Andrew’s fatherhood raised questions about their long-term compatibility.
Libby and Andrew Formed a Strong Bond After Their First Adventure Activity
As Libby Vodicka and Andrew Wheeler’s conversations progressed, he revealed that he has two daughters. While the revelation initially made the former a little nervous, she stated that she likes kids. She decided to keep an open mind and continue getting to know him. Eventually, Andrew asked her about her past relationship and explained that he had always been cautious about introducing someone into his daughters’ lives. As their bond deepened, he revealed that he found Libby to be quite fun and lively. Despite previously dating younger women, Andrew felt there was something different about her. Similarly, Libby felt genuinely drawn to Andrew’s maturity. However, the reality became clearer when he disclosed that his oldest daughter is actually 14.
It left Libby shocked and overwhelmed, and she confessed that she needed time to reflect. Andrew also told Libby that he, his daughters, and their mother are all settled in Baltimore, Maryland. When he asked whether she would be willing to get into a long-distance relationship or move there to be closer to him, she said she would go all in if their relationship progressed. As they finally reached the Promise Room, Andrew revealed he was 38, while Libby shared she was 22. Despite the initial shock of their 16-year age gap, they made their way to their apartment along with the other couples, where they continued to deepen their connection. During a beach date, the duo spent more time opening up to each other, where the latter spoke vulnerably about his short-lived career as a professional soccer player.
When Andrew expressed his regret about giving it up, Libby reassured him, further strengthening their bond. At one point, he asked her if she was scared of commitment. Libby admitted that, although she was unsure, she hoped it was not the case. During another conversation, she began to wonder whether their bond might change in the real world, but her partner assured her she could spend her time however she wanted. However, Andrew asked Libby to always keep him at the back of her mind. Things became complicated when the couples in the show learned that they would soon meet each other’s loved ones. Libby and Andrew first met her close friends, Nina and Lauren.
Libby and Andrew Have Decided to Continue Their Bond After the Show
When Libby’s friends, Nina and Lauren, learned that their friend’s partner has two daughters, they quickly expressed concern that the 22-year-old was not ready to become a stepmother. Similarly, Andrew’s friends, Amir and Robert, became worried, wondering how the relationship would work out in real life, given his daughters and the long distance between him and Libby. During another of Andrew and Libby’s dates, the former asked her whether he would be holding her back, since she might want to experience several things in life alone at her young age. Although Libby reassured Andrew that it wouldn’t be the case, it disappointed her because he was hesitating, despite the fact that she had opened up to him.
Libby and Andrew were aware they might face significant challenges moving forward, but they made it clear during the Commitment Ceremony that they were ready to take a leap of faith. They not only admitted they are in love but also reiterated that they would do everything in their power to make things work between them, no matter the distance, outside noise, or differences in their lifestyles. While he asserted he would keep her happy, she indicated she would always be there for both him and his daughters.
As of writing, the couple is indeed still together, making things work despite the fact that they are long-distance – Libby resides in San Diego, whereas Andrew is in Baltimore. They shared in the reunion special on ‘The Viall Files’ podcast that their age difference actually doesn’t come up as often as they expected, as they are able to meet one another in the middle. He even asserted that his partner is wise beyond her years, which helps, so they are making plans to eventually move to Florida together and start a new chapter of their lives there. However, they are still taking it slow in some regards as she hasn’t met his daughters yet, which she understands.
