‘The Later Daters’ is a Netflix reality TV show that follows six Atlanta-based singles over the age of 55 who drip their toes back into the dating pool. Logan Ury, a behavior expert and dating coach, guides them through this process of meeting their match in the era of dating apps through a series of blind date set-ups. Thus, with Ury’s professional help as well as the love and support of their friends and families, these Golden singles find the perfect opportunities to put themselves out there and take a chance at romance. From the animal lover and passionate football fan Suzanne to Pam, who lives outside of Atlanta and lives life to the fullest—each central personality within the show brings something unique to the table that easily catches the audience’s attention.
Suzanne Doty is Enjoying Semi-Retirement With Her Family
Suzanne Doty met the love of her life, Chris, in the early 90s and shared twenty-seven years of blissful marriage with him until his tragic passing in 2019. In the aftermath of such a great loss, Suzanne focused on her career as an Optometrist with her own established practice. Eventually, she decided to sell her 17-year-old practice in 2020 and entered retirement. Nonetheless, she soon realized how much she missed her work and inevitably returned to work part-time. Today, she continues to work at Target Optical, where she greatly enjoys carrying on her practice.
Suzanne owns two homes, one in Gainesville, Georgia—her hometown— and another in Charleston, South Carolina. Consequently, she remains a dual resident in both cities. Before throwing her hat in the ring with ‘The Later Daters,’ the Optometrist hadn’t been on a date in 32 years. However, she met three charming gentlemen as she put herself out there, re-learning the art of dating in the modern world. Ultimately, she found her match with Avery Rodts, a financial advisor. Even though Avery isn’t a Bulldogs fan like Suzanne—instead supporting the Alabama Crimson Tide—the couple’s instant chemistry was undeniable.
As such, Suzanne and Avery ended up in a relationship and are presumably still going strong. Thus, the Optometrist seems to be living her best life with a satisfying career and strong relationships. Recently, she celebrated Thanksgiving with her clan, including her three children, Allison, Austyn, and Alex—along with her beloved pets. As per her social media accounts, Suzanne, at 64, remains an adamant supporter of the Bulldogs football team.

The couple continued dating for a few months after their initial meeting, during which Anise even met her partner’s mother, establishing connections with his family. However, since then, Anise and Willie seem to have kept their relationship under wraps despite their respective social media presence. Alternatively, Anise continues to flourish in her career and personal life, regularly sharing updates with her followers online.

Entering ‘The Later Daters,’ Lori Hanford knew what she wanted from dating in her late 50s: a partner to spend her life with. However, between her previous divorce and the following fifteen years as a single individual, she had some issues opening up while balancing her demanding career with a love life. Even though the dates Lori went on ended up being futile, she gained a new perspective on dating and learned more about her wants. Nonetheless, despite her strong online presence, she prefers to live out her private life behind the camera.
Therefore, even though there aren’t many updates about Lori’s dating life, her career continues to excel in the public eye.

Nate Brown is Enjoying the NFL Football Season
Logan Ury’s expert guidance helped George “Nate” Brown find Michelle Lamb, an actress with whom he instantly clicked. Nonetheless, their relationship fizzled out soon enough due to differences in personalities. Still, the experience taught the army veteran a few things about establishing connections and shedding his past trust issues. In the aftermath of his participation in ‘The Later Daters,’ Nate has further spoken out about the nuances of dating, specifically for him as a veteran with a disability.
In November 2023, he did an interview with Fox News about the same, divulging his thoughts on the matter. He opened up about how he likes to keep his circle close—which includes his ex-turned-co-parenting partner, Jackie.

Pam Marriott Land is Optimistic About Finding Love Again
Pam Marriott Land had already found love in her life multiple times by the time she started dating again in her 70s. In the 1970s, while Pam worked as an air hostess, she found a whirlwind romance with Stephen “Steve” Marriott, an English musician who was a part of the rock band Humble Pie. She had two children with Steve and had enjoyed a pleasant, adventurous marriage for more than a decade. Nevertheless, by 1989, Steve had remarried his third wife after separating from Pam—a fact the air hostess claims she didn’t know until he sent their son a postcard from his honeymoon.
By then, Pam had moved on as well with her second husband, William “Will” Land. The couple built a life together in Georgia, where they lived a little outside Atlanta. Unfortunately, Will passed away in 2008. Pam has continued to remain single for the years since, living on her own with her granddaughter, Zoe.
