“Perfect Match” Season Two stars Elys Hutchinson and Justin Assada appeared to be one of the strongest couples in the villa until Bryton Constantin re-entered the picture.
Elys (“Too Hot to Handle” Season Five) and Bryton (“Squid Game: The Challenge”) were among the first group of contestants to walk into the villa in the Season Two premiere earlier this month. But, they both decided to pursue other options. Elys developed a connection with Harry Jowsey (“Too Hot to Handle” Season One) and Bryton briefly expressed interest in Dominique Defoe (“Too Hot to Handle” Season Four.)
Bryton’s time in the villa was short-lived as his boisterous personality rubbed some cast members the wrong way, particularly his match Dominique, and he left the villa. Meanwhile, Jowsey decided to match with Jessica “Jess” Vestal (“Love Is Blind” Season Six), which upset Elys. She moved on with Justin Assada (“Surviving Paradise”) and they seemed to build a solid connection for multiple episodes.
When all the eliminated and new contestants arrived in Episode Eight, Bryton started to flirt with Micah Lussier (“Love Is Blind” Season Four) and Elys. In his confessional interviews, he mentioned his plan to secure a connection to move back into the villa.
Elys was intrigued and voiced her mutual attraction to Bryton. She shocked Justin by calling it quits and matching with Bryton instead.
Find out if one of the newest couples in the house made it to the end of the finale and if their budding connection lasted outside of the villa.
What happened with Bryton and Elys in the ‘Perfect Match’ Season 2 finale?
For their final (and first) date of the season, Bryton and Elys participate in a cacao ceremony. Elys says she sees a lot of potential with Bryton as they get to know each other more. He acknowledges he was “childish” when he came into the villa the first time.
While Elys says she finds something “likable” about Bryton, she says she can’t call him her perfect match yet because she needs to see if they can make their connection work in the real world.
He replies, “I guess I’ll come to London then.” Bryton adds that even though they’ve only known each other for a short time, he believes Elys is his perfect match.
At the final vote, all the contestants reunite except for Justin. Host Nick Lachey announces that the “Surviving Paradise” star will not be joining the cast and that he is missed.
When it is time to speak about her relationship with Bryton, Elys reveals to the cast that she has “fancied” him from the beginning.
Bryton says that his journey with Elys worked out the way it should’ve. He also tells the cast that they’ve made plans to see each other.
Dominique is unconvinced. She calls out Bryton for being “egotistical.” The rest of the contestants don’t show much support for the couple.
Are Bryton and Elys still together?
Since the first episodes of the Netflix dating series were released on June 7, Elys hasn’t shared any photos with Bryton. She has only uploaded pictures with Jess and Alara Taneri (“Dated and Related”). Before the finale, she shared a photo from Tulum, Mexico. The picture appears to have been taken during her final date, but Bryton is nowhere to be seen.
“Shoe dropped just like everyone’s jaw tomorrow,” she cheekily wrote in the caption.
As for Bryton, he has posted multiple photos from the show and recent Netflix events. One of his slideshows included a picture with Elys. “BEACH DAY !!!” he wrote in the caption, in part. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
Bryton also shared a carousel of photos on May 31 that shows him posing beside Elys’ former match, Justin.
He and Elys later confirmed to Tudum that they are no longer together. And it seems there is no love lost between the two of them.
She told the outlet that their romance on the show was "terrible judgment on (her) behalf."
Elys said after filming a group of them went on vacation together and that "very randomly and unexpectedly" Bryton "ghosted" her.
The model also mentioned there was "a lot of drama after filming with him" that caused them to go their separate ways.
Elys revealed she is currently in a relationship with "Too Hot to Handle" Season Three star Nathan Soan Mngomezulu.
"I’m madly in love with a gorgeous boy,” she gushed. "It’s been almost a year now."
Bryton said his relationship with Elys "got a little rocky fairly quick" after they left the show. He claimed he saw a different personality that she didn't display "on screen."
Despite confirming that he didn't respond to the "spam" of texts Elys sent him, he said he wished her well.
