The unique dynamics and chemistry between Hali and Mercedes left fans on the edge of their seats, eager to unravel the aftermath of the season’s conclusion.
As the unexpected winner, Hali’s choice to trust Mercedes in the final stages of the competition added an extra layer of apprehension.

Mercedes and Hali Won FBoy Island Season 3
Mercedes Knox, a familiar face from the second season of ‘FBoy Island,’ made a remarkable comeback in the third season. Despite reaching the final as an FBoy and splitting the money with Louise Barnard in his earlier stint, Mercedes returned to compete once again. Before his reality TV endeavors, Mercedes, a Dallas resident, had a noteworthy career as a human resource specialist with the US Army, dedicating seven years to the service from the age of 18. When he appeared in the series, he was working as a barber and a model.

On the other hand, 28-year-old Hali Okeowo, a seasoned professional model, added a layer of sophistication and diversity to the third season. With an impressive resume featuring magazine covers and collaborations with renowned brands, Hali’s modeling success showcased her talent and versatility. Beyond her modeling career, she holds a journalism degree from Penn State University, highlighting her commitment to both academia and professional achievements. Hali’s intelligence, coupled with her striking beauty, quickly made her a standout and fan favorite on the season.
In the reality series, Hali embarked on a journey alongside three other women to navigate the complexities of choosing a partner among 20 men. Mercedes Knox skillfully concealed his identity as an FBoy and formed a bond with Hali and the two played a very sharp and genuine game together. He successfully made it to the finale without arousing suspicion, particularly from Hali. The duo reached the final stage alongside two other couples. When faced with the ultimate decision between Mercedes and Elijah Que Connolly (EJ), Hali chose Mercedes. However, the revelation that Mercedes was indeed an FBoy left Hali stunned. In a surprising turn of events, Mercedes chose to split the prize money of $100,000 with Hali, challenging the idea that he was not an irredeemable FBoy.
Mercedes and Hali Have Not Revealed Their Relationship Status
As of now, Hali and Mercedes haven’t made any official announcements about being in a relationship or not. Hali shared her reflections on the season in a lengthy Instagram post, congratulating Mercedes on his win and humorously advising him not to attempt it for a third time. Alongside the post, she included a picture of Mercedes in his military uniform with braces, prompting a playful comment from him about where she found such an image. The absence of explicit statements or posts hinting at a romantic connection leaves fans curious about the nature of their relationship after the season.

Mercedes, in contrast, has exclusively shared images from his time in the season and has yet to post any recent photos with Hali. Considering his history on previous reality TV shows, it remains uncertain whether he is committed to pursuing a genuine relationship with Hali. On the other hand, Hali appears to be a self-assured and accomplished woman, fully aware of her value and actively engaged in her professional life. Surrounded by supportive friends and family, it seems like Hali might not be actively seeking a relationship with Mercedes.
