Season two of “The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On” has finally arrived, and it’s filled with drama. The first eight episodes of season two hit Netflix on Aug. 23, and they’re packed with every variety of romantic tension, from jealousy to unexpected romance to a surprise pregnancy.
Drama is inevitable on “The Ultimatum,” of course. The show follows four couples who are all deciding whether they want to get married. In each couple, one person has given their partner the key ultimatum: end their time on the show by getting engaged or breaking up. During the show, the stars are all given the chance to pair up with one of the other contestants and live together for three weeks as part of a trial marriage. After that, they all live with their original partners for three weeks, and from there, the couples have to make their final decisions about their next step.
“The Ultimatum” season one saw both breakups and engagements, as did the spin-off series “The Ultimatum: Queer Love.” And season two has come complete with a whole new set of couples to obsess about. If you’re wondering where the couples from season two stand just before making their final choices in the ninth episode, which drops on Aug. 30 along with the season finale, look no further.

Are Lisa and Brian From "The Ultimatum" Still Together?
Lisa gave Brian the ultimatum, and the couple had an explosive fight in episode two after Lisa had a strong emotional reaction to seeing Brian in conversation with another girl. In episode three, the pair dropped a bombshell when they revealed that Lisa had discovered she was pregnant. The pair decided to exit the show following that revelation, and as far as we know, they’re still together as of the eighth episode. Neither one of them seems to have any recent pictures of each other on Instagram, though, so it’s unclear exactly where they stand.

Are Kat and Alex From "The Ultimatum" Still Together?
Kat gave the ultimatum to Alex, though both of them have struggled with communication and vulnerability over the course of the show. As of episode eight, the pair are still together and working on their communication skills, as Alex has struggled with appreciating and opening up to Kat. By the end of the episode, Alex seems like he’s about ready to propose to Kat.
Kat’s most recent Instagram photo with Alex is from June 2022, and Alex’s most recent photo with Kat is from September 2022. In July 2022, executive producer Chris Coelen told Variety that filming on season two had already been completed, so it seems like the pair may have made it through “Ultimatum” with their relationship intact.

Are Antonio and Roxanne From "The Ultimatum" Still Together?
Antonio gave the ultimatum to Roxanne, whose ambitious, career-focused nature clashes a bit with his more laid-back demeanor. As of episode eight, the duo are still together and working on being more understanding toward each other, though their relationship seems a bit rocky as Roxanne is still unsure if she’s ready to marry Antonio.
However, while Antonio doesn’t appear in any recent photos on Roxanne’s Instagram, Antonio’s Instagram features photos of himself and Roxanne from September 2022, so it looks like the couple may have stayed together.

Are James and Ryann From "The Ultimatum" Still Together?
James and Ryann have been together since high school, and Ryann gave James the ultimatum as she couldn’t understand why he wasn’t ready to get married after years of dating. But Ryann wound up developing a close bond with fellow cast member Trey Brunson during their trial marriage, leading James to reevaluate his hesitation. As of episode eight, the couple are still together and James seems more certain of his love for Ryann than ever – though he still seems unsure about marriage, while Ryann wants the pair to get married before moving in together.
Ryann’s Instagram doesn’t seem to feature any photos of James, but James’s most recent photo with Ryann was shared in September 2022, indicating that their relationship might have survived the filming process.

Are Trey and Riah From "The Ultimatum" Still Together?
Trey gave Riah the ultimatum. Riah was initially unsure she was ready to get married, citing stress about still needing to establish her career, but during the show, she found her trial marriage with James lacking and wound up growing jealous of Trey’s bond with Ryann. As of episode eight, Trey and Riah are still together, trying to figure out if they can make things work while potentially living in separate cities. By the end of the episode, they still seem to be struggling to figure out if they’re meant for one another.
Neither Trey nor Riah’s Instagrams appear to include any photos of each other, so it’s hard to know exactly how things played out for these two at the moment.
