Too Hot to Handle: Which Netflix Couples Are Still Together?

Did any real couples come out of Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle? The reality TV show promised to challenge hookup kings and queens to try and form deeper emotional connections by taking sex off the table — and some seriously cute romances blossomed. But which stars are still together more than a year after filming ended? As it turns out, not everyone’s love was built to last.

While talking exclusively with In Touch in April, Sharron Townsend and Francesca Farago revealed they were both in contact with their onscreen love interests. Though quarantine due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak was keeping all of the couples apart, the Canadian cutie revealed she and her man were talking about marriage and planning to move in together. After taking a break, Sharron and Rhonda Paul weren’t quite there, but they were still happy to be feeling things out.

“Things have been great,” Sharron told In Touch. He even hinted that she might be “the one,” comparing their time on the show to his real-life mentor’s relationship. Both men weren’t sure how they felt — but seeing their partners’ willingness to be patient with them and stick around through the tough times spoke volumes. “No matter what I put [Rhonda] through [on the show], no matter what I told her or how I expressed myself, she was still there,” the New Jersey native said.

“She’s been there [for me] through everything.” They were even thriving amid social distancing. “These are the conditions that we kind of met each other in,” he explained. “All we could do [at the retreat] was communicate. … Now, it’s kind of like we’re back to how we started.” Getting to know each other on a purely emotional level rather than a physical one helped the Too Hot to Handle hunk realize just how special his relationship with Rhonda was.

Unfortunately, distance seems to have taken a toll on both of the show’s main relationships. Quarantine forced Sharron to cancel a visit he had planned to go see the Georgia beauty in Atlanta. Though they hoped to reschedule, it seems those plans are now off indefinitely. Francesca was ready to pack her bags and move to Los Angeles to live with Harry Jowsey as soon as it was safe to do so, but she didn’t get the chance either. The Australian star called it quits with her before they had the chance to reunite.

Sharron and Rhonda

In April, Sharron exclusively told In Touch he and Rhonda were still talking “all day, every day” after the show. Unfortunately, they seem to have fizzled out since then. During the reunion, they emphasized they were friends — but that was all. While Rhonda got emotional when she confirmed that they aren’t together, these two made it clear there is still plenty of love between them.

Harry and Francesca

Francesca previously told In Touch exclusively she and Harry “talked every day” about how they were going to get engaged, but on the Netflix reunion, she revealed they actually broke up for about eight months. Things seemed to be on the right track when they met each other’s families soon after the show, but there came a time when they weren’t “seeing eye-to-eye” on a lot of subjects.

They reunited after Harry drunkenly reached back out one night, and the British Columbian beauty thought they were in it for the long haul. “I knew right when we broke up that we were going to get back together,” she said. “Every time we fight, we get stronger and stronger.”

In June 2020, Francesca tearfully confirmed she and Harry parted ways again “because he couldn’t do long-distance anymore.”

Shortly after the split, Harry took to YouTube to reveal he broke up with his costar to preserve his mental health.

“I knew that if I continued to be with Francesca, it would end up with her being seriously heartbroken or me continuing to be seriously depressed in the relationship,” he said at the time. “She’s a wonderful person. She’s so gorgeous and everyone’s right. She’s well and truly out of my league. She’s a superstar and I’m so proud of her.”

David and Lydia

These two got pretty cozy on the show, and by the last episode, it seemed like they might actually be interested in starting a relationship. However, that romance doesn’t appear to have translated into the real world. Though the Too Hot to Handle cast all keep in touch through a group chat, these two are just friends.

Francesca and Haley

Was there anything more to that kiss? While speaking exclusively with In Touch, Francesca confirmed both she and Haley are interested in women and their mini makeout sesh was “really fun.” However, her romance with Harry kept things from going any further. In a different universe, she might’ve pursued the blonde beauty, but for now they’re still super tight pals.
