Are The ‘Too Hot To Handle’ Couples Still Together?

Another year of Lana the cone cockblocking horny singles has come to an end, with Netflix releasing all of Season 2 of Too Hot To Handle.

If you haven’t spent your whole weekend binge-watching it like I did, please note there will be spoilers if you proceed!

Season 2 of Too Hot To Handle saw some shake-ups to the original format that had premiered last year, with the biggest plot-twist being that there’d only be one prize pool winner at the end.

Even before they had this knowledge, the cast of this season were losing money faster than I lose my mind when a guy on a dating app lists his height as though it’s the most interesting thing about him.

Here’s an update on where the couples from Too Hot To Handle stand:

Marvin Anthony & Melinda Melrose

Marvin was crowned the winner of Too Hot To Handle and left with Melinda as his girlfriend, his one true queen, the woman he wanted to introduce to his mama.

Marvin and Melinda had a tumultuous journey during their time on the show. They connected straight off the bat before drifting apart after Melinda shared a relatively innocent kiss with Peter, while Marvin wanted to keep his options open (while also being mad at Melinda kissing Peter… classic men).

The two were eventually drawn back together, with Melinda never fully moving on from Marvin despite the walls he tried to keep up. They eventually lost the team a whole lotta money by having sex, before winning it back when they were sent to the private suite and resisted touching each other.

With Marvin being listed as a finalist alongside Carly and Cam, it was up to the group to vote for the final winner, and Marvin took home the grand prize for all of his emotional growth during the series.

But is Marvin still with Melinda?

While the couple hasn’t confirmed anything they also haven’t denied. Given that Marvin is based in Paris and Melinda in New York, the couple didn’t have it easy after leaving the retreat due to Covid-19 travel restrictions.

“It’s complicated, with Melinda it’s always complicated,” Marvin said in an interview with Capital FM. “But we’re going to see because we’ve been away for a long time. I was stuck in France, so we’re going to see how it’ll continue.”

But if you take a little peek over on their Instagrams, it seems like the couple is still going strong, commenting on each other’s photos…

… and Melinda even seemed to confirm they’re 100% still together with this comment.

We’re feeling good about these two!

Cam Holmes & Emily Miller

Boy oh boy, were Cam and Emily a controversial couple (*cough* Emily deserves better *cough*). The two were hot and heavy from the get go, quickly losing a lot of money before managing to get it together towards the end – but not without a little breakdown in communication and Cam nearly fucking things up after his date with Christina, and then his wandering eyes with Tabitha.

Cam was yo-yoing about the relationship up until the very end, resisting his temptation to bounce and self-sabotage because of his developing feelings for Emily. Eventually after taking some space from Emily, he asked her to be his girlfriend before dropping the L-bomb in the final episode.

So have these two made it work and resisted temptation on the outside?

Speaking to metro.co.uk the two confirmed they’re both in relationships, but didn’t confirm whether that was with each other or not. “I’m in a relationship … whether that’s with someone on the show or not, you’ll need to find out,” Emily said. Cam then said, “I learned a lot from the show and I am now in a committed relationship—whether that’s from the show or not you’ll need to wait and see.”

Considering the two have been spotted doing some branded content together and also shared similar snaps from an island getaway, we’re thinking they’re also going strong – or at least playing nice until the reunion.

So far we’re not sure when the reunion is set to drop, but from those of us in Australia still in lockdown – pretty please Netflix, say it’s soon.
