If you watched Perfect Match season 4, then you know that Brianna Balram and her ex, DeMari Davis (who met on season 6 of Too Hot to Handle) did not exactly rekindle their romance, as some fans had hoped. However! It’s been long rumored that she has a new man (aka Love Island alum Lochan Nowacki)…and following the Perfect Match finale, she finally confirmed it.
On May 27, she posted a photo dump with BTS pics from her Perfect Match experience along with a lengthy caption. The TL;DR: She got the “closure” she needed with DeMari, and—with her third Netflix reality show behind her—she wants to move on. “It has indeed been fun and wild,” she wrote, “but I’m now ready to close this chapter so I can settle down with my Prince Charming once and for all.”
And though she didn’t name names, Lochan all but confirmed that he was the “Prince Charming” in question with a heartfelt comment. “I’m Sooo proud of you baby! I know your heart pretty well at this point and can easily say you are genuinely the kindest soul I’ve ever met,” he wrote, later adding, “Although this chapter closes another one opens and I’ve got you. Let’s keep growing and learning together. I love you!”
It seems to me that these two are pretty official then!
Dating rumors first started back in December 2025, when the two took a trip to Paris to celebrate Bri’s birthday. And while they didn’t post any pics together, Lochan kiiinda gave himself away with a telling comment on Bri’s Instagram recapping the getaway, where he wrote, “Happy birthday baby!! Blessed to be spending this day with you and the rest of them ❤️.”
If Lochan’s name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because he and his ex, Whitney Adebayo (who were runners-up on Love Island UK season 10) had a pretty public breakup, which took a messy turn after Whitney accused Lochan of calling her skin “dirty” while they were dating.
After several TikTok videos were exchanged, Lochan threatened to sue for defamation, but according to The Sun, the two “quietly ended their dispute” back in December 2025 after learning “that this was going to end up as a very ugly, and very expensive, row.”
Whitney is now dating Bri’s Perfect Match costar, Yamen Sanders, who she met on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year…and though these two haven’t been shy about posting their love, they’re definitely going all out now that the Perfect Match finale has finally aired.
Still, a few of Yamen’s Perfect Match costars have thoughts about the fact that he didn’t wait for the finale to hard-launch this relationship…
