It’s been a year since the sibling duos of Dated & Related first embarked on their own journeys toward love and helped each other along the way. But now that the villa doors have closed and the lips-shaped phone has been unplugged, we’re left wondering: Which couples are still together and which siblings are left to wingman another day? Hold onto your trundle bed — here’s where those siblings and couples stand now. 🤐 SPOILER ALERT 🤐
That’s right: Dated & Related’s golden couple (and your Season 1 winners) are still happily in love. “He makes me laugh, supports me and has always been there for me since day one,” Diana tells Tudum. “I genuinely appreciate these personality traits. I’ve never met a man with such a great heart.”
But the two faced a challenge even after they left the villa: Their siblings, Kieran and Nina, dated and broke up during filming, which could potentially make for some awkward Christmases. But while Kaz and Diana were worried the families wouldn’t get along, Diana says that it’s “just all love now,” and that the four of them love joking around and spending time together in London.
Even better? The couple has big plans for the future: Kaz wants to teach Diana how to cook, and the pair even plans on taking a tropical vacation with the prize money — but, this time, without any bothersome twins in the mix.
“We will be sipping on rum punch,” Kaz says, “leaving Kieran and Nina in London with nothing but dust.”
“Hopefully,” Diana adds, “They won’t find us!”
Although Daniel and Nina live an ocean away from each other — Nina is in London and Daniel lives in Canada — this couple’s bond hasn’t been broken by distance. “There hasn’t been a day that has gone by since the show where she hasn’t been on my mind,” Daniel says. “Even though we are long distance, we’ve stayed in contact pretty much every day. If we aren’t texting, we are FaceTiming or on the phone. Since the day I met her, she’s always managed to keep me laughing and it’s just always felt right, which makes it fun and easy talking to her.”
Though the couple hasn’t been able to see each other since the villa, Nina reveals the two have big plans to meet up and reignite the relationship in-person. “It’s been a long time coming but the connection is still there and I miss him a lot,” she says. “Can’t wait to reunite!”
“My days are better when I get to see her on FaceTime or hear from her — hopefully, that is soon to change in-person,” Daniel adds. “She is on my mind and in my plans on the regular. I can’t wait to see her, I miss her so much! It’s been too long.”
Though they had a connection in the villa, Kieran and Alara have now gone their separate ways. “Alara and I had a lot going on back home after leaving the villa, so, unfortunately, things didn’t work out between us,” Kieran reveals. “I had family issues, and Alara was busy at university, and she lived three hours away from London, which made it more difficult. We’re still really good friends and still in contact.”
But don’t worry: Alara says her love life is thriving, even joking that if Kieran wanted to visit her in Herefordshire, he would “have to take a ticket now,” as “the queue is long.”
Clearly, these sibs have taken their skills to the real world. Nearly all the pairs say their brother or sister has continued to wingman (or -woman) each other IRL — especially British twins, Will and Henry, and New Jersey cousins, Chris and Jason, who recently moved to Los Angeles. “I’m not going to lie, Hennerz is a pretty good wingman,” Will says. “Let’s just say we’ve both had some fun since filming the show.” Meanwhile, Jason says Chris has taken his wingman abilities “to another level” in the City of Angels, calling the duo “relentless.”
Plus, Lily has even revealed that she found love right after leaving the villa, all thanks to sister Mady. "After the show, Mady and I decided to take a girls trip through Europe," she shares. "We both wingmanned each other and she actually helped me find love! Thanks to her help, I found someone truly amazing who ticks all my boxes."
The cast members all say they’re still close despite the distance, with Will saying their group chat hasn’t gone quiet for “longer than an hour.” Alara and Julia are best friends, with Julia saying that Alara has “really helped me feel more confident and be myself.” Mady and Dyman have visited each other to encourage one another to start their own companies (and look out: The Bajors plan to start their own jewelry line soon). Meanwhile, the Perfettos, the Roppos and the Cohen/Hahn cousins have been traveling all over the country to see each other — Jason even vacationed with the Perfettos in Costa Rica. Clearly, siblings who, uh, date together, stay together.
