After his time on season one of Too Hot To Handle Kelechi “Kelz” Dyke moved on to greener pastures in his dating life. The popular Netflix series is a game of temptation and suppressing one’s sexual needs and desires. Contestants compete as a group and learn how to build meaningful relationships without having sex while the prize of $100,000 is up for grabs. With rules to follow to win the prize money, breaking rules leads to deductions in the prize fund. While this may seem easy, some contestants just couldn’t keep it in their pants.
Some contestants were able to follow the rules under Lana’s watchful eye. A 26-year-old senior recruitment consultant and American football player from London, Kelz, was one of the few who did not break the rules. He became known as “The Accountant” on the show for keeping track of how much money the group still had as each episode occurred. Though he faced a few temptations himself, he kept his eye on the prize. For his efforts to keep the prize whole, he caught the eye of a certain model: the one and only Emily Ratajkowski.
Kelz received lots of love and attention from viewers globally. However, model Emily Ratajkowski is one recognizable face who expressed her support for the Netflix star. Fans of the show were speculating about a budding romance between the two after Emily commented about being a fan of his. During the Too Hot To Handle reunion, Too Hot To Handle: Extra Hot, host Desiree Burch brought up Emily, saying how she was “massively into him” in a supposed video. Kelz responded with, “I don’t really want to comment on my relationship with Emily at the moment. It’s still early days.”
The origin of this video is undetermined. It is likely Emily commented about the reality show on an Instagram live video or story. There is no indication the two went back and forth on any social media platform. This leads to the possibility of her simply commenting on a thread when the show first aired in April 2020. The model does not follow Kelz on Instagram, leaving fans to believe the connection between the pair was not all that substantial.
Overall, it seems the situation with Kelz was not to be taken seriously. Emily is married to film producer, Sebastian Bear-McClard. The two have been married since 2018 after dating for only a few weeks. Yet despite this clearly being a joke, leave it to the internet to spread the word of this imaginary coupling.
