Summary

• Perfect matches from Are You The One? season 8 are still not together, focusing on individual pursuits after the show's end in 2024.
• Aasha, Brandon, Amber, Remy, Basit, Jonathan, Danny, Kai, Jasmine, Nour, Jenna, Paige, Kariselle, Max, Justin, Kylie updates.
• Former contestants are pursuing careers in communication, advocacy, TV, art, modeling, and sports after their show appearances.

After Are You The One? season 9 premiered on Paramount+, it's no wonder there are questions regarding whether any couples from season 8 are still together. The 2019 season of one of the best reality TV shows marked the first reality dating show to include sexually fluid contestants. Rather than ten heterosexual males looking for matches among ten heterosexual females, all the contestants in season 8 were bisexual and eligible to be paired with anyone in the Hawaiian villa.

The fallout of Are You The One? season 8 has died down. However, it's always a fun exercise to look back and catch up with what the previous cast members are up to nowadays. Additionally, it's fun to revisit old seasons while awaiting the potential release of Are You The One? season 10. While Are You The One? season 8 doesn't rank first of all the seasons, it's still worth catching up with the cast members in 2024.

Aasha & Brandon

Not Together

Aasha Wells and Brandon Davis were confirmed as the only Perfect Match in the truth booth in season 8, allowing them to remain together for the final five weeks of the competition. Despite being one of the best Are You The One? couples, they admitted they split in the unofficial reunion episode once the show ended. Aasha still resides in Florida and recently started her podcast called Aasha Uncensored. Earning her Communications and Journalism degree is paying off for Aasha.

Brandon's fate since competing on the show is less clear. The former athlete and fitness guru from Salt Lake City, who has a military family background, has yet to appear on another reality TV show. However, the timing of the pandemic may have attributed to his disappearance from the spotlight. With a nonexistent social media presence, it's difficult to tell what Brandon is up to in 2023.

Amber & Remy

Not Together

New York natives Amber Martinez and Remy Duran never sat together once, yet were declared a Perfect Match during the season finale. Since competing in Are You The One?, Amber participated in The Challenge: Double Agents in 2020-21. Amber co-hosts a The Challenge reaction show on YouTube, though there hasn't been an update in two years. By all accounts, Amber now lives in Los Angeles.

Since his time on the show, Remy has parlayed his minor celebrity to influence legions of social media followers. More importantly, Remy welcomed a son named Ari with his partner Zoey, whom he continually beams about on his Instagram page. With his professional TV career on hold now, Remy is focused on being his best dad while enjoying travel.

Basit & Jonathan

Not Together

Better known by their drag persona Dionne Slay, Basit continues to advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, co-founding the production company Legacy: A Black Queer Production Collective.

For the first time in show history, viewers were privy to a Perfect Match inside the house that the contestants were unaware of. That match was between Basit Shittu and Jonathan Monroe, a genuine couple who sat together for 7 out of 10 weeks. Better known by their drag persona Dionne Slay, Basit continues to advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, co-founding the production company Legacy: A Black Queer Production Collective.

As for Jonathan, he has relocated from his native Florida to LA, where he has given up his former career as a bank manager to become a professional hair stylist and makeup artist. Jonathan's current relationship status is being kept under wraps. Hopefully, he's doing well since the show.

Danny & Kai

Not Together

Danny Prikazsky and Kai Wes linked up in week one and sat together five times before being declared a Perfect Match in the finale. Danny has since parlayed his charming screen presence into several short film appearances and TV shows like The Verdict and Rogue Theory. He appears to be fusing his background as a data tech scientist with more acting roles to produce content for brands such as Monster Fight Club for Crypt TV.

After appearing in MTV's True Life: Quarantine Stories and producing the short film Them in 2020, Kai Wes continues to raise awareness for the LGBTQ+ community as a transmasculine non-binary person who uses they/them pronouns. Kai has documented their brave transition on Instagram and appeared on G-Flip's IG Live for Playboy. The advocate seems to be connected romantically to intimacy coach Hunter Rae.

Jasmine & Nour

Not Together

Jasmine Olson and Nour Fraij sat together in weeks 8 through 10 before being deemed a Perfect Match. Jasmine moved to Dallas, Texas, where she works as a professional model. The captivating beauty grew a popular following, even appearing in MTV's Floribama Shore season 4. Nour has become a mother to a boy named Noah since her time on the show, fathered by her boyfriend, Stanley. Nour works as an artist and digital creator who founded her own company, Love Always Nour, and seems to be thriving since her time on the hit MTV reality TV series.

Jenna & Paige

Not Together

Jenna Brown and Paige Cole had brief flirtations with each other before ending strong as a Perfect Match in the finale. After moving from her conservative Indiana hometown, Jenna lives as an artist in LA. While she appeared to be dating a woman named Nani, they broke up sometime in the past year. She is single for now. As for Paige, the Allen, Texas native, lives in New York City, where she gives video tutorials on exotic dancing. Paige and Remy admitted to hooking up and enjoying a brief fling during the finale of Are You The One? season 8, although Paige appears to be single in 2024.

Kariselle & Max

Not Together

After the show, Kari relocated from New Jersey to Baltimore, where she works as a professional NFL cheerleader for the Baltimore Ravens as part of the Raven's Playmakers Squad.

While Kariselle Snow and Kylie Smith seemed destined to become a Perfect Match, the algorithms revealed that Max was Kari's ideal partner. After the show, Kari relocated from New Jersey to Baltimore, where she works as a professional NFL cheerleader for the Baltimore Ravens as part of the Raven's Playmakers Squad. However, Kariselle returned to reality TV when she starred in Sexy Beasts and got engaged to Joey Sasso on Perfect Match. However, the pair have since broken up.

Meanwhile, Max remains in Los Angeles after moving from his conservative Ohio hometown, where he works as an Artist Manager for Seven20 Group. This international Web3 company fuses blockchain and Metaverse content. Max has recently hit the music festival circuit in the past few years by attending Coachella, Red Rocks, EDC, and more.

Justin & Kylie

Not Together

Justin Palm and Kylie Smith never sat together once throughout the show, yet were revealed as Perfect Matches in the finale. Since competing, Justin relocated from his native Palmdale, California, to New York, where he works as a photographer and content creator. Since his Instagram is private, it's difficult to tell whether Justin is single in 2024. As for Kylie, the Utah native appeared on the MTV dating show Match Me If You Can in 2021. Kylie moved to New York and continues to earn a living as a model. She appears to be single in 2024 as well. Hopefully, all the Are You The One? season 8 contestants find love sooner than later.
