Netflix’s hit reality show “The Ultimatum” is heading toward its highly anticipated finale, and the stakes couldn’t be higher for the four couples who participated. After weeks of emotional trial marriages, difficult conversations, and unexpected connections, the remaining couples must decide whether to get engaged to their original partners, leave with someone new, or walk away single. 

Ahead of the finale and reunion airing on Netflix beginning on Wednesday, July 22, The Blast has compiled some must-know details, which couples are reportedly still together, and behind-the-scenes information on filming the reality show in Las Vegas.

Now’s The Time To Catch Up On ‘The Ultimatum’ Ahead Of The Finale And Reunion

Netflix’s newest season of “The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On” premiered on July 15, giving fans just enough time to binge the series once (or twice) before the finale and reunion on July 22.

If you didn’t get a chance to watch it all and want some tea, we’ve got it for you! Let’s start at the beginning. The show began with six couples, but before moving into their new homes and starting their trial marriages, they were down to four. One couple decided before the trial marriages with a new partner began, that they would get engaged, and another couple was asked to leave by hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey.

Jessica Grace and Edris got engaged during The Choice before the trial marriages even began. Edris asked and Jessica Grace said yes! That ended their time on the series.

More About Who Left ‘The Ultimatum’ Early

The other couple to end their time on the series before the trial marriages were Jebin and Alex. But their story ends very differently than Jessica Grace and Edris’ did.

They became the first couple in the history of the show to be asked to leave because Jebin wrote Alex a note that included some harsh words and the truth about where he stands on marrying her.

The letter in question according to PEOPLE: “I’m really not sure what you came here to do. You already had two dates with Killian. Then you look me dead in the face and say you’re falling for someone. You say that you should go talk to him. You say his name over and over to me and point at him when he walks by.”

It continued with Jebin writing that he now feels “less confident” in Alex and that she must have “something else on” her mind.

“I am not the focus for you. I don’t want you to make me look dumber than you already have. You ruined it. You ruined everything. You f-cked us over. I want to say things can get better, but this time, you did it,” the letter continued. “I honestly hope to God you guys weren’t touching on camera. I’m not f-cking doing this. Who knows what else you’ve done. You’re into him. I don’t even know. There is no way we are getting married.” 

And Then There Were Four Couples…

As the trial marriages with their new partners began, there were only four couples left. Each of the couple’s moved into an apartment in Ariva Serviced Residences in Southwest Las Vegas to begin their journeys.

Hayley arrived with Blake and then partnered with Killian for a trial marriage, while Blake partnered with Killian’s girlfriend, Ashley. Luke and Monica swapped partners with Casey and David.

Ahead of the finale and reunion, it’s been reported by Us Magazine that all four couples are still together. We won’t know until the finale who actually got engaged, so that’s a missing piece to this puzzle that will soon be revealed.

One ‘Ultimatum’ Participant Was Arrested

TMZ reported that Blake Robertson, Hayley’s boyfriend, was arrested in October 2025, after filming had wrapped, being accused of assaulting Hayley.

Blake’s attorney told TMZ, “Blake’s case was rightfully dismissed by the prosecutor almost immediately, and all records were expunged.”

Hayley declined to press charges and told TMZ she had conversations with Blake about the incident. She also shared that she feels accountability is important.

Where Was Season 4 Of ‘The Ultimatum’ Filmed?

Season 4 of hit Netflix series was filmed in Las Vegas. The four couples lived at Ariva Serviced Residences in Southwest Las Vegas and was often filmed frequenting nearby restaurants, attractions, and other areas of Sin City.

Jessie Boskamp, Duty Manager of Ariva Luxury Residences and Ariva Serviced Residences, previously spoke to The Blast to share some information about how the complex was chosen to be the backdrop of the series.

“The production team first reached out to us around January 2025 while they were scouting locations in Las Vegas. After several site tours, they quickly saw that Ariva offered exactly what they were looking for,” Boskamp, told The Blast exclusively. “They toured our furnished residences and amenity spaces, met with our team to discuss logistics, and ultimately presented Ariva to their production team as the ideal location.”

From mid-March to mid-May of 2025, the cast and production team made Ariva “their home throughout the filming process.”

In most episodes of the series, Ariva’s apartments and amenities are highlighted. The couples worked out in the gym and yoga studio, spent time by the swings and firepits, and enjoyed the view at the Sky Lounge.

The season finale and reunion both premiere on Netflix on Wednesday, July 22.
