It didn’t take long for Steven, a 37-year-old gym owner, and Sabrina, a 35-year-old director of marketing and communications, to make their relationship official and get engaged.
In the pods, they had a heart-to-heart over children. Sabrina said she’d be OK if she didn’t have children, and wasn’t sure if she’d be able to carry a child by the time they were ready. Meanwhile, Steven said he’d always dreamed of becoming a father.
They finally agreed that children would be a blessing, but said there are multiple ways to have them, including surrogacy and adoption.
After getting engaged in the pods, the couple met in person for the first time and sparks flew. Sabrina described it as the “best moment of (her) life” and Steven called Sabrina “more than (he) could’ve dreamed of.” The couple went on to enjoy a romantic getaway in Greece.

After getting engaged, the couple flew to Greece for a romantic getaway and their physical connection heated up quickly.
As the newly engaged couple prepared to meet up with their cast mates, Catherine told Freddie she was “a bit nervous” to meet Ollie face to face. In a confessional interview, she explained why.
“We never really got closure. He didn’t know I was going to call it off. So I think for him it was a bit of a shock. I do feel a little bit unsettled going in there and seeing him. But I know if I’ve got Freddie by my side, I’m gonna be OK,” she said.

After breaking things off with Sam, Jasmine was free to fully explore her growing connection with Bobby, who soon proposed by writing a romantic poem for her.

Relationship status: Not together
Nicole, a 29-year-old head of brand and marketing, found herself in a love triangle with Sam, a 31-year-old product design manager, and Benaiah, a 33-year-old structural landscaper. Since her last marriage ended in divorce, Nicole was extra cautious about selecting the right guy.
When Sam made a comment about Nicole’s potential physical appearance in the men’s living quarters, Benaiah overheard him and was worried that he wasn’t there for the right reasons. He promptly told Nicole about his fears but she didn’t seem to be too concerned.
After calling it off with Benaiah, Nicole poured her heart out to Sam and the two got engaged. When they met in person, things were bit awkward, and Nicole put the engagement ring on the wrong finger. While Sam seemed head over heels, Nicole was hesitant.
As they said their goodbyes, Sam said “I think I love you” but Nicole didn’t reciprocate.
As the rest of the couples prepared to fly to Greece for a romantic getaway, Nicole called things off with Sam. “Something didn’t quite feel right,” she said in a confessional interview.
While reflecting on their relationship, Sam also said he realized “something was off” when they met in person.
