If that’s not proof the two are destined to be together, I don’t know what is.

During Season 1, we watched Paola struggle to assimilate into Russ' small-town life in Oklahoma.
In 2019, they welcomed their first child, a son named Axel.
The two have been subject to split rumors over the years.
At one point, Paola moved to Miami on her own before Russ later joined her.

Mike Eloshwaymet his girlfriend,Aziza Mazhidova, who wasten years younger than him, online in 2013.
They started as friends, but it became something more after her work visa to the U.S. was denied.
In Season 1, we saw Mikes friends and family doubting Azizas intentions.
They suspected she might be using him for the visa.
Working past the criticism, the two got married in 2013.
In 2019, they welcomed their daughter, Olivia Joan.
He pleaded guilty in the case, butas far as we know, the two are still together.
In Season 1, the majority of the couples met in person, not online.
I think that’s a huge factor in the longevity of the relationship.
They know each other already, whether it be looks, personality, or lifestyle.
Even the couples that met online in the first season have more sustainable relationships than the ones now.
The internet was a very different place 11 years ago.
People who were chatting or dating online were real people looking to form genuine connections.
Now, the internet is infested with bots, scammers, and catfish.
The casting has definitely changed over the years and that’s because their end goal is different.
Stacey has finally issued an ultimatum to “leave” Florian if he doesn’t control his anger!
Although Daniella and Mohammed had the recipe for disaster perfected, Season 3 had a lot of happy endings.
