Which Sneaky Links couples are still together now? All the clues you might have missed...
WARNING: Spoilers about Netflix's Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark ahead!
PSA: your new fave reality tv obsession just dropped, in the form of Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark.
The addictive new show sees six singles check into a motel in the hopes of finding love *except* instead of being intro'd to new people, they actually are forced to come face-to-face with their sneaky links - and made to undergo a series of challenges testing their compatibility with said sneaky link. The reason? To see if they will check out alone, or as a couple. (Srsly, whoever came up with this concept needs a raise).
The drama is also cranked up a notch with the addition of a number of 'late check-ins' including a Playboy model and professional basketball player.
We quickly binged our way through the first season (fingers crossed for another!) and have one question on our minds...what couples are still together? Speaking to Swoon, the show's host Chloe Veitch has teased a major twist about the show's verdict, saying: "I can say that you're genuinely not going to see this curveball coming"
Cue: some serious IG sleuthing at Cosmo UK HQ. To discover what we found out, keep scrolling.
Bad news for anyone secretly pining for their own sneaky link, none of the OG sneaky link pairings (which would consist of: Manny and Samira, Angelique and Travis, Avery and Colt, Nicole S. and Brandon, Zoe and Kyle, and Nicole V. and Travis) checked out as a couple.
At the final episode there were four couples formed from various individuals in the motel, but did they check out together and do they still seem to be an item?
One couple we were rooting for? Avery, a 26-year-old recruiter whose sneaky link was Colt, and Manny, a 26-year-old travel nurse whose sneaky link was Samira.
In the finale, the duo agreed to leave the motel as a couple and Manny said: "'I've walked in with a sneaky link mindset. I've always had trouble committing, and now I think the relationship I've established with Avery has allowed me to grow. I'm like, 'No, don't be scared of it. Just take a risk,'" he said.
"I feel good and I'm finally feeling excited about something. For me and Avery, I think the world is our oyster.'
Since leaving the show, the duo are still following one another on IG (a good sign) and have tagged each other in promotional material they've posted for the show. We'd guess that these two are still together...
This may not come as a surprise to anyone, but Jacie, a 26-year-old bartender and late check-in to the show, and Brandon, a 27-year-old nightclub owner whose sneaky link was Nicole S, did not check out together. Jacie decided to leave on her own and Brandon, who had flirted with multiple girls throughout the season, was forced to check out solo.
They do, however, appear to be on good terms: they are mutuals on IG, after all.
Two absolute cuties Zoé, a 29-year-old fashion brand owner whose sneaky link was Kyle, and Travis, a 31-year-old account executive who sneaky link was Angelique, had an undeniable connection throughout the show, even as they got to know other contestants. We were rooting for these two, so it was a relief to see them leave the motel together.
"I think it's nice to experience each other outside of everyone else and all the other couples and all the other tests and challenges," said Zoé in the finale. "Of course, there will be other tests and challenges, but it'll be nice to have a focus point right now."
Again, these two are mutuals on IG, so we suspect they're still an item.
Colt, a 32-year-old sales consultant, initially paired up with his sneaky link, the 30-year-old law student Angelique. However, his 'head was turned' (to quote Love Island) thanks to a certain late check-in named Kelsey.
Kelsey is a 24-year-old fashion website manager and model who caught Colt's eye, leading to a love triangle. Ultimately, at the series finale, Colt told Kelsey he loved her and they left as a couple. To date, they're still following one another on IG.
We'll keep you updated with any further updates as and when they come in...

Netflix analysts turn heads with stock price target updates
Bonjour tout le monde, comment aimez-vous Netflix maintenant? Okay, enough with the high school French. We're going bilingual because the world's largest streaming service recently unveiled a deal under which it will offer live broadcasts and on-demand content from the French broadcaster TF1 starting in summer 2026. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter "This is a first-of-its-kind partnership that plays to our strengths of giving audiences the best entertainment alongside the best discovery experience," Greg Peters, Netflix's co-CEO, said in a statement. "By teaming up with France's leading broadcaster we will provide French consumers with even more reasons to come to Netflix every day and to stay with us for all their entertainment." Chris Ratcliffe/Bloomberg via Getty Images TF1 reaches 58 million monthly viewers through its broadcast channels and serves 35 million users on its TF1+ streaming service. The company's CEO, Rodolphe Belmer, who sat on Netflix's board from 2018 until 2022 before taking the helm at TF1, said the alliance would "enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers within an ecosystem that perfectly complements our TF1+ platform." Last year, Netflix partnered with France's Newen Studios and TF1 to co-produce the streamer's first-ever daily drama series for France, "Tout Pour La Lumière" ("All for Light"), which is set in the world of music and dance, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "This is a very innovative deal" with "nothing of the sort elsewhere," Enders Analysis analyst François Godard said. "It pivots Netflix into aggregation." More Streaming: Walt Disney offers new perks for Disney+ membersBank of America sends strong message on NetflixNetflix has a genius plan to find its next hit show Scott Galloway, a New York University professor and a podcaster, noted recently that by expanding production globally, taking advantage of broadband technology, and capitalizing on inexpensive funding, Netflix was able to make large-scale investments similar to Amazon's (AMZN) strategy, leaving competitors unable to keep pace. Craig Hallum analyst Jason Kreyer said that Magnite (MGNI) , the world's largest independent sell-side advertising company, struck an agreement with TF1 just nine months ago to bolster programmatic demand, according to The Fly. Programmatic advertising uses software and algorithms to buy ad inventory in real time, often through auctions, rather than through manual negotiations between advertisers and publishers. Craig Hallum said that this relationship represented a ramp in its monetization potential with Netflix by bringing an influx of live content to the Netflix ecosystem, where Magnite remains the exclusive supply-side platform. The firm said that it expected a seamless transition to monetizing this inventory on Netflix. Craig-Hallum said its checks from Cannes in France have noted a material increase in interest and active discussions between these broadcasters and both publishers like Netflix and tech partners like Magnite. The firm sees this trend adding yet another set of tailwinds to the Magnite story. Craig-Hallum has a buy rating and a $14 price target on Magnite's shares. Netflix shares are up 38% this year and up nearly 82% from this time in 2024. Pivotal Research raised its price target on Netflix to a Wall-Street-high $1,600 from $1,350 and affirmed a buy rating on the shares. Related: Veteran trader turns heads with Netflix comments The investment firm said it moved from a year-end 2025 to a year-end 2026 target price and increased its multiple based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, citing increasing confidence in the company's "dominant market positioning." Netflix remains underpenetrated globally, Pivotal said. The Los Gatos, Calif., company offers an "extremely compelling" price-to-entertainment value, boosted by its advertising-supported offering, which should enable it to continue to generate solid growth in subscribers and average revenue per user, Pivotal said. The firm continues to view management's aspirational goal of a $1 trillion valuation by 2030 as reasonable. It's currently a bit more than half that at $520 billion. Wells Fargo raised its price target on Netflix to $1,500 from $1,222 given its opportunity path, while affirming an overweight rating on the shares. High-value short-form content could be Netflix's next big move with exclusive creator deals, WFC said. Wells Fargo estimates incremental engagement at an attractive return on investment. It's a third pillar of growth after sports and ads, the firm said. Netflix, scheduled to report quarterly results on July 17, said in May that it was testing a short-form-video feature. In 2021 the platform rolled out a TikTok-inspired feature called "Fast Laughs," which focused on funny clips, Tech Crunch reported. This new test aims to reach a broader audience beyond just comedy fans and will be more personalized. The new mobile-only vertical feed enables users to easily scroll through clips of its original titles. Within this feed, users can tap on buttons to watch the entire show or movie immediately, save it to their "My List," or share it with friends.

‘Virgin River' Cast Marks Last Day Of Filming For Season 7: 'Fingers Crossed More To Come'
It's only a matter of months until viewers can be transported back to a fictitious small town nestled in Northern California — as Netflix's Virgin River has wrapped filming its seventh season. Marking the occasion, cast members took to social media to celebrate. Benjamin Hollingsworth shared a joint post with Kandyse McClure, which included selfies of the two alongside fellow co-star Zibby Allen. 'First day of Summer and Last day of Filming Season 7 of Virgin River. ☀️ @netflix,' he wrote.

Meanwhile, Allen shared some additional photos alongside stars Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson. 'VRS7 wrapped. These lives within these lives… 💚,' she captioned the pics. 'I hit the scene partner jackpot,' Hollingsworth wrote in a comment underneath the post. Annette O'Toole took to Instagram for a simple post featuring her pup in a travel carrier, writing, 'Bye Vancouver!' Colin Lawrence posted a video tribute to the season, saying, 'And that, my friends, is a wrap on Season 7 for John 'Preacher' Middleton. Oh gosh, what can I tell you? Another stellar season, in my humble opinion. This show has been the most fun to work on. I've been so blessed to have been a part of this for the last seven seasons. Fingers crossed more to come,' and adding that there are 'more laughs, more tears, just a lot of emotion' in the forthcoming installment. While there is no official release date for Season 7, its preceding season bowed on the streamer in December 2024, and the one before that premiered September 2023. As such, it's possible that Season 7 could come to Netflix late this year. As Deadline reported earlier in March, Season 7 features new recurring characters played by Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries) and Cody Kearsley (Riverdale). The former's storyline is based on an existent plotline from Robyn Carr's expansive, eponymous novel series, with Canning playing an ex-cop who was shot in the line of duty and is now working for the state medical board as an investigator. She comes to Virgin River to investigate Doc's (Tim Matheson) practice but runs into a friend with whom she wouldn't mind catching up. Speaking to Deadline last December, series showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed the fight for Virgin River's clinic will be a major storyline this year, following the investigation into Doc's actions while saving a patient, which led to a bait-and-switch ploy for the clinic to be taken over by a large hospital network.
