If there’s one thing that has recently become clear, it’s that the world of modern dating is incredibly complex owing to the significance placed upon physical characteristics and passion alone. This much is actually evidenced in Netflix’s ‘Too Hot to Handle,‘ all the while underscoring how any real relationship requires much more — communication, honesty, plus trust, for starters. It thus comes as no surprise this reality original production is popular across the world these days, with several international versions too, enabling it to most recently release its sixth season.
Bri and DeMari Are Figuring Things Out
Although Bri Balram and DeMari Davis walked away from Lana’s retreat as not just an official couple but also the winners of $100,000 due to their growth together, they are currently on a break. The long-distance — she is based in Georgia, whereas he’s in Indiana — and the real world took a toll on their relationship shortly after filming ended, yet they have since managed to reconnect. Therefore, their status as of writing is “complicated” — he said, “We really have been trying to learn [about] each other on the outside [and] figure things out,” to which Bri added their “communication is really great” at the moment, so there is genuine hope for them.
Coming to BriMari’s individual professional standing these days, while the former is a proud content creator, fashion model, as well as influencer, the latter is a fashion model and artist/musician. This Atlanta, Georgia, resident is already affiliated with brands like Ashley Marie, Made by make-up artist Cournet Kareem, among many more, and she recently even launched her own YouTube channel. On the other hand, the 6’5″ former stockbroker is signed under 10 MGMT Model & Talent Agency, with the help of whom he has not only achieved wonders as a model but also released two EPs, ‘Long Shot’ and ‘I Am.’
Katherine and Charlie Are Still Blissfully Involved
Despite their several ups and downs, Katherine LaPrell and Charlie Jeer ended their journey hand in hand with a promise to continue building their romance, which is precisely what they have done. The duo has since confirmed their relationship, with the latter going as far as to assert he felt like asking her to be his girlfriend and tell her he loves her while they were still filming, but held off as he wanted to see how they’d fare in the real world. The former actually felt the same, so they were happy to report they have since progressed a lot in every sense of the term despite the long distance — she is based out of Los Angeles, whereas he’s from Kent, the United Kingdom.
Coming to their professional whereabouts, while Katherine is a model and rising public figure signed under One Management, her boyfriend Charlie is a British-Indian Model plus Musician. Whether it be NuFace, Martina Liana Bridal, or other such beauty and fashion brands, this 28-year-old travel enthusiast has managed to successfully partner with them all recently. As for Charlie, apart from his Nevs Model contract enabling him to land several ads/shoots, he has been focusing on his passion for music too — you can actually pre-save his most recent single, “Her Eyes,” right now.
Sabrina and Chris Sadly Never Became Exclusive
If we’re being honest, Sabrina Zima and Chris Alli didn’t have enough opportunities to really get to know one another in the retreat owing to the fact she came in right near the end. However, they did make the most of the time they had because they had realized quite early on that there was a spark of deep passion as well as a level of unspoken comfort between them, leading them to reach the end together. But alas, this on-screen pairing has since conceded they were never able to establish a true romantic connection after filming despite having stayed in touch, driving Chris to quip he did add “a picture of Sabrina to his vision board.”
From what we can tell as of writing, while Sabrina and Chris’ platonic affinity seems to be thriving, it does appear as if their priority is their respective careers these days. After all, the former is an artist from Toronto, Canada, just trying to make the most from her experiences, all the while also embracing her passion for travel, love for ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ and free time with loved ones. On the other hand, Chris is a professional model through and through. The Manchester, UK, native actually has contracts with Boss Model Management, Nevs Models, as well as Louisa Models.
Gianna Pettus is a Young, Rising Influencer
At the age of 21, Gianna is not only a student at the University of Arkansas pursuing a Bachelor’s in Political Science, but she’s also an influencer in the field of beauty as well as fashion. In fact, she had affiliations with brands such as Skims and Vivrelle before she even stepped foot into the realm of reality television and won $25,000, so the opportunities available to her now are only bound to be multifold. However, we should mention this sports lover, travel enthusiast, ‘The Office’ fan, plus childhood dancer has not given up on her passion for the latter creative art form, meaning she juggles being a student, a dancer, plus an influencer these days.
Flavia Laos Urbina is a Woman of Many Hats
Ever since Flavia first came across our screens in season 5 of ‘Too Hot to Handle,’ she made it evident she is beauty with brains, enabling her to win countless hearts across the world. This Peruvian queen actually managed to have the same impact in season 6 too, resulting in several more doors opening for her in her chosen entertainment industry – she’s an actress, influencer, model, singer, plus television host. In fact, this People’s Choice Favorite Latin Influencer Award Winner is currently an official Fashion Nova partner, an affiliate of Cyzone as well as InkaBet, and the brains behind the EP ‘Despierta’ and her most recent single “EXXXOTICO.”
Joao Coronel is Thriving as an Artist
Although a native of Purto Alegre, Brazil, Joao has apparently been based in Los Angeles, California, for around a year now to pursue his dreams of being a professional musician, and he is gradually reaching that point. That’s because, following a chance to perform at the Paris Fashion Week back in 2022, he has truly seized every opportunity to have come his way and even released two rather successful singles. This 22-year-old may be young, but “Paint My Walls Red” as well as “Is Our Time Up” prove that he is much more than what he seems and is determined to show the world his real self through his music.
Lucy Syed is an Influencer Through and Through
Following an admitted “Yes Year” in 2023, it appears as if London-based Lucy Syed has truly clutched the chance to be free and spread her wings by making a living as a content creator/influencer. Her social media platform is actually proof that one can achieve anything they put their mind to if one just believes, especially since there was a point when she struggled with her self-image. As for precisely what she is up to these days, it appears as if she is following her dream of exploring the world — whether it be Saudi Arabia, Ibiza, Greece, or Bali in Indonesia, she has actually been everywhere recently.
Cristian Lager is a University Student Turned Proud Entrepreneur
If you thought Cristian definitely has the physique to be a model, you’d be right — he is a professional model and an entrepreneur who currently splits his time between Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California. He is actually the brains behind an apparel brand by the name of Cristian Jon Clothing — for which he often even models himself — all the while attending the University of Illinois to earn his Bachelor’s in Financial Planning. We should also mention this dog lover is a former track and football star, a fitness enthusiast, a basketball lover, as well as a surfer, which is just part of how he has the physique he has.
Valentina Rueda is a Professional Model
Quite like Joao, even though Valentina is Columbian, it appears as if she, too, is now based out of the United States so as to expand her wings in the entertainment industry as a professional model. From what we can tell, she is signed by One Management Agency, with the help of which she has been able to land some great campaign deals/opportunities across the globe. In fact, she has most recently worked with different professional photographers, along with brands like Guess, PrettyLittleThing, We Are We Wear, and many more, all the while traveling for her own unique experiences.
Jalen Olomu-Brown is a Thriving Florida-Based Model
Although a fashion model based out of Florida, 27-year-old Jalen Olomu-Brown is signed by not only Wilhelmina Models but also The Option Agency, enabling him to acquire some great deals. Thus, it comes as no surprise he is affiliated with Nova Men and has already done campaigns for brands such as TLF Apparel, Easybay, Champsports, GymBob, and several others. Furthermore, we should mention this rising public figure plus god-fearing man is also the brains behind a business by the name of Everbody Fitness Co., a community he built to help everyone lead a healthier life.
Louis Russell Has Established Himself as an Online Personality
Like Flavia, Louis Russell is a returnee from ‘Too Hot to Handle’ season 5, but he was kicked out early by Lana in this installment for completely disregarding her rules and focusing on intimacy over emotions. Nevertheless, the fact he is always optimistic, honest, as well as charismatic has enabled him to garner an incredible international fan following, with the help of which he has essentially built a name for himself as an influencer. He often dabbles in modeling and embraces chances to make public appearances too, yet his online presence across Instagram as well as TikTok appears to be his primary profession.
Kylisha Jageshar is a True Travel Enthusiast
Like most of her cast mates, Kylisha Jageshar is primarily a content creator whose roots as well as experiences make up most of her online presence — she is Chinese, Guyanese, and Canadian, with a passion for travel. In fact, although based out of Toronto, she has recently explored the beauty of not only New York, Miami, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles but also Brazil, Dubai, Greece, France, Jamaica, Japan, Ibiza, Mexico, Morocco, plus the UK, along with many other spots. Nevertheless, apart from leading a happening, luxurious life, it seems like there are times she also likes to spend some quality downtime with loved ones, making it appear as if she’s perfectly content with her life at the moment.
Jordan Frank is a Surfer and a Model
Last but definitely not least, we have Los Angeles, California-based Jordan Frank, whose early exit from season 6 really shattered some fans since he appeared genuine at every step of the way. So, we’re happy to report that you can actually keep up with him through his active social media platforms, which indicate he is currently signed by Wilhelmina Modeling Agency in both Los Angeles as well as in Miami, all the while living his best possible life as an entertainer. This music lover, surfer, and travel enthusiast has actually even walked Fashion Week El Paseo in 2023, and it’s evident he’s doing his best to continue making a name for himself in the industry.
