Niki and nate break up 2023

The Ultimatumis Netflix's latest reality dating show, and it's every bit as dramatic as fans were hoping it would be. Brought to the streaming service by the people behind Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum asks six couples on the verge of getting married if they can reconcile their differences.

Here are the basics, ICYMI: In each pair, one partner who wants to get married has given an ultimatum to the other, who isn't ready yet. Hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey ask the couples to split up and speed date each other. Once they've regrouped into brand new pairs, the duos live together in a "practice marriage" for three weeks.

Next, everyone returns to their original partners, and the old couples live together for three weeks. At the end of it all, each pair must decide if they want to get married, split up, or continue dating someone else from the show.

After a truly shocking season 1 (and with season 2 already on the horizon), who's still together—and who will probably never speak again? Here's everything to know about where The Ultimatum couples are now:

Alexis Maloney and Hunter Parr

At the beginning of season 1, Alexis gave Hunter a serious ultimatum. She wanted to walk away with a ring on her finger—but he wasn't sure if he was ready to take that step. Then, during speed dating, Alexis started forming connections with a few of the other guys.

But at a dinner with hosts Nick and Vanessa, Hunter decided he couldn't wait any longer. He proposed to Alexis on the spot, and she accepted in a truly aww-worthy moment.

As of right now, Alexis and Hunter are living together in engaged bliss in Los Angeles, California. And, they're on track to tie the knot soon: "We're getting married this summer," Hunter told Women's Health.

"I always wanted to get married out here in Los Angeles since I was like five years old," Alexis added. "I used to drive past this chapel, and we're getting married there, so it's kind of like a dream come true."

Living together wasn't easy at first, but the pair say they've grown to love being in each other's company. "I think the beginning was a little bit of like, okay growing pains, but it's been so fun to just cook together every night, work out together, plan our schedules together—it's been so nice," Alexis explained.

And, both say they don't regret anything about what happened on the show. "I've been enjoying being engaged to Alexis and starting our life together," Hunter told WH. "Yeah. Gold medal for that," Alexis added.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Lauren Pounds and Nathan Ruggles

Lauren and Nathan were ready to get married, except for one big issue: Nathan wanted to start a family, while Lauren didn't. The disagreement had spiraled into one of the big rifts in their relationship.

During speed dating, Lauren and Nathan talked their issues through with some of the other cast members. Finally, at the dinner with Nick and Vanessa, Nathan followed Hunter's example and proposed to Lauren. She accepted (despite co-star Colby trying to talk her out of it).

So, what's their 'ship status today? These two are still going strong. After leaving the show together, Nathan found a ring and proposed a second time in Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. "We ended up having a little redo," Lauren told Today.

The pair are planning for an October wedding in Breckinridge, Colorado. And, they say couples therapy has helped them work through their different views on starting a family.

"It made us see more eye-to-eye. Before, a lot of him was like, 'I want you to understand my side,' and I was like, 'No, I want you to understand my side.' It became this very stubborn conversation where we both just like shut down," Lauren explained.

As mentioned in the season 1 reunion, Lauren and Nathan have compromised by deciding to try for just one child. But, they're grateful for their time on the show. "I'm thankful for it because I think at the end of the day, it made us realize how much we want each other and want to make things work," she said.

Colby Kissinger and Madlyn Ballatori

At the beginning of season 1, Colby was head over heels for his girlfriend, while Madlyn thought she might be ready... to marry someone else. The pair were definitely at odds, and Madlyn's instant physical connection with contestant Randall didn't help.

Reconnecting after living apart was difficult for both Madlyn and Colby. The two had their fair share of fights, and at one point it seemed like each was done with the relationship.

So, are they still together now? Yep! After that romantic proposal and on-the-spot wedding, the duo are still happily married—and moving into a new chapter together.

"We're having a baby!" Madlyn told Women's Health. The couple are expecting a girl in the next few weeks. And, they're planning a big gathering to celebrate how far they've come.

"Right after filming, I went and I got my dress. I was like, 'I need my dad to walk me down the aisle.' Now, I can no longer fit in it, but as soon as I can, we wanna get everybody together and do some sort of vow renewal or just something to celebrate and get everyone together for sure," she added.

The duo have officially been married for around a year since filming ended. May is a big month for them both: "It was May 11th and my due date is actually May 10th. And so is his [Colby's] birthday. So, we have like one day to celebrate everything," Madlyn told WH. Whew!

Randall Griffin and Shanique Imari

Randall and Shanique couldn't make up their minds at the beginning of the season. Each hit it off with another contestant: Randall with Madlyn and Shanique with Zay. Some time apart seemed to strengthen their relationship—but when Shanique asked to see Randall during the process and accused him of not being an equal partner, both walked away angry.

The big question is: Did they break up? Luckily for Randall and Shanique fans, these two are still together and stronger than ever. They're currently engaged, although they haven't started any wedding planning yet.

In May, the pair say they're moving to a house in Austin, Texas. "We just got the keys," Randall told Women's Health. Shanique added, "it's been a fun process just kind of putting our minds together and our tastes and our likes and dislikes and just working through it."

And, they're still close with their Ultimatum co-stars. "Jake and Rae are our pretty close friends," Shanique explained. "We talk to just about everybody," Randall said.

You love to see it!

April Marie and Jake Cunningham

April *really* wanted Jake to propose to her at the beginning of season 1. But Jake had recently finished serving in the military and was more interested in traveling and living a little before settling down.

These two had lots of hiccups in their communication. And, Jake really seemed to hit it off with his new partner Rae, while April bonded with Colby. When they got back together, they were still at odds—especially after April admitted to scrolling through Jake's texts when he wasn't looking.

All that aside, April and Jake did eventually go their separate ways after the show ended. But, April is doing just fine on her own.

"I’ve been dating someone for six months. I'm extremely happy. My life is just, it's almost too good to be true," she told Women's Health. "I'm with a really good guy who treats me like a queen. I'm so thankful for him and I feel so blessed to be in the relationship that I'm in now."

April says she and Jake did reconnect after filming ended, "but we just knew that it wasn't going anywhere."

"So then I just had to [be] like, 'All right, I guess we are just gonna cut ties. And if you need me, I'm here. I love you. I wish the best for you.' But I do care about him and genuinely, genuinely want him to be happy," she added. She's also still friends with Rae.

As for Jake and Rae's relationship, the two ended up parting ways—and it's unclear if Jake is currently dating anyone else.

Rae Williams and Zay Wilson

Rae and Zay seemed happy enough at the beginning of season 1, but as the episodes went on, they each formed deep bonds with their new partners. Rae and Jake went on a racetrack date and enjoyed meeting each other's families, while Zay and Shanique grew super close.

Flash forward, and Rae and Zay had a rough transition to reconnecting. The two weren't as close, and it seemed like their relationship was on the rocks.

Then, during the finale, Rae chose Jake over Zay. So, did they make it out together?

Rae revealed in the reunion that she tried to fix things with Zay first. But the two ended up parting ways, and Jake and Rae's connection didn't last, either.

After coming out as bisexual during the season 1 reunion, Rae revealed that she has since dated an "amazing" woman. "I had a good connection with her, but we kept it casual. But I'm figuring out myself," she added.

As for Zay, he said he's still deciding what's next. "I thought I knew, but I'm taking my time."
