Here’s What Happened to the Four ‘Temptation Island’ Season 1 Couples
Did the Island make or break their relationships?
*Contains spoilers for the last episode of Temptation Island*
Earlier this year, we were all hooked to social media watching brief clips of a Spanish man Montoya being cheated on multiple times, as part of the Spanish version of Temptation Island. It was pretty devastating to watch and yet we couldn’t look away. And now we get our own shot at watching the series as an American edition of the show has finally arrived on Netflix. The series started originally in the early 2000s, took a break, was revamped in 2019 and is now having its first season on Netflix.
Four couples enter the island that is full of temptations—read: very attractive and enticing individuals—in order to test their relationships. The boys move into a new villa and the girls a separate one too, where they all face the ultimate test of temptation. And their other halves get to watch what they’ve been up to in specially selected clips shown to them by host Mark L. Walberg. After weeks in the villas, they’ll then decide if they want to carry on with the relationship they came in or start afresh with someone new.
So after 10 episodes of temptation, which of the four couples got left the island together? Here’s what you need to know.
The Temptation Island couples
- Brion and Shanté left the island together
- Tyler and Tayler: Tayler left the island alone and Tyler left with Kay.
- Grant and Ashley: Grant left the island alone and Ashley left with Danny.
- Lino and Alexa left the island together and got engaged.
Brion and Shanté
How old are they? Brion is 26 and Shanté is 29.
What are their jobs? Brion is in medical and pharmaceutical sales and Shanté is in clinical health care.
How long have they been together? 1 year.
Why are they going on Temptation Island?: The couple want to start a family together, however early on in their relationship Brion became involved with someone else. It’s caused trust issues between them and Shanté doesn’t know if Brion can resist the allure of other women. They want to improve their communication by going on the Island and Brion also hopes Shanté will come out of her shell a little bit too.
What are their Instagrams? Brion: @briongwhitley. Shanté: @shantegloverr.
What happened for them on Temptation Island? It was a very tough journey to watch at times for these two. They agreed prior to going into the show not to cross any physical boundaries, however Brion broke these rules when halfway through the series he had a threesome with two of the single women. After the threesome, Brion said he had no regrets and thought Shanté would forgive him. When she watched the clip of him during the third bonfire, she was clearly disappointed by him but kept herself together.
As the series progressed, Brion told himself the threesome had helped him get it out of his system and he actually did appreciate his sex life he had with Shanté, something he’d previously complained about.
Shanté didn’t build any emotional connections with any of the single men in the villa. And while Brion went on many dates, a number of the women questioned his intentions, with Amiah calling him out on cheating on Shanté.
What happened at the final bonfire? At the start of episode 10, Brion and Shanté had their final bonfire, and after a lot of deep chats and tears and confusion on Shanté’s side, the pair ultimately decided to leave the island together. Brion promised that he would find a therapist and that he would prove to Shanté she could trust him.
Are they still together? Brion and Shanté are still going strong. After an emotional final bonfire, Brion and Shanté spent the entire night talking and have been improving on their communication ever since. While she’s still not thrilled about Brion’s threesome, Shanté told Tudum that it was the catalyst for many deep conversations. “As sad as it is and as annoying as it is, I don’t know that we would’ve had those conversations if that didn’t happen,” she explained.
As for Brion, he now says he regrets what he did, but he still looks back on Temptation Island fondly. “It was a big learning experience for me to really see the value of the woman that I have.”
Tyler and Tayler
How old are they? Tyler is 27 years old while Tayler is 30 years old.
What are their jobs? Tyler was in sales, but now he’s a model and Tayler is a health education specialist.
How long have they been together? Two and a half years.
Why are they going on Temptation Island? These two started dating immediately after Tyler ended his six year relationship, and therefore Tyler has never really dated around and wants the opportunity to explore this side of himself. He also wants to go deeper and understand more about himself outside of a relationship. Meanwhile, Tayler is looking for true commitment, and given Tyler has already strayed once in their relationship, she wants to be certain before they go further.
What are their instagrams? Tyler: @tylerbreshears. Tayler: @christinatayler.
What happened for them on Temptation Island? Early on in the show, Tyler got to know Kay. The pair got on very well and went on a number of dates. After watching the couple build their physical connection during a bonfire scene, Tayler was upset but ultimately decided that her relationship with Tyler was over.
After, she then pursued a romantic connection with Yamen and the pair went on a number of dates, including Tayler picking him for her final date overnight. And Tyler continued to get to know Kay and start to contemplate their future together.
Are they still together? Nope. During episode 10, the pair ended their relationship officially, and Tayler chose to leave the island by herself. After building his connection with Kay during the show, Tyler chose to leave with her.
Grant and Ashley
How old are they? Grant and Ashley are both 28 years old.
What are their jobs? Grant has his own business and Ashley is an accountant.
How long have they been together? On and off for a year and a half.
Why are they going on Temptation Island? Early on in their relationship, Grant was unfaithful, which has led to major trust issues between them. By going on the Island, Ashley wants to put herself first and Grant wants to prove to Ashley he can be loyal to her, and in doing so, this will allow her to trust him and allow the couple to move on with their future.
What are their Instagrams? Grant: @grant_larsen_. Ashley: @_ashhmoore.
What happened for them on Temptation Island? The whole point of the couple going on the show was for Grant to prove Ashley could trust him, but early on in the show, he started to get to know Natalie on a romantic level. The relationship escalated and we soon saw them in the shower together. After Ashley watched the moment play out at the bonfire, she decided the couple were no longer together and she started to more actively pursue her connections with Danny and Logan.
Ashley went on a number of dates with Danny and she eventually ended up spending a night with Danny in the bed. Meanwhile, Grant progressed getting to know Natalie more, while also being upset at Ashley getting to know Danny.
Are they still together? No. During the final bonfire, it was clear the couple’s relationship was over, and Grant chose to leave the island single, despite his connection with Natalie. Ashley chose to leave the island with Danny. Ashley and Danny follow each other on Instagram, and Ashley commented on Danny’s recent post, so there’s definitely a chance they’re sill together.
Alexa and Lino
How old are they? Alexa and Lino are both 28 years old.
What are their jobs? Alexa is a labor and delivery travel nurse and Lino is a personal trainer.
How long have they been together? Three years.
Why are they going on Temptation Island? Early on in their relationship, Alexa said they were “exclusive,” but she was still getting to know other guys, leading to Lino feeling like a second choice. Having only been in one relationship, Lino wants to feel sure there are no more “fish in the sea” and Alexa wants to feel more secure and confident within herself before they commit to their future together.
What are their Instagrams? Alexa: @alexarsantamaria. Lino: @linomtroisi.
What happened for them on Temptation Island? Ultimately, much of Lino and Alexa’s journey during the show was about understanding themselves and unpacking their past pain in the relationship. Neither of them really built a romantic connection with anyone else in the villas and neither broke any boundaries. During his final date, Lino even goes shopping for engagement rings, which leads us to...
What happened at the final bonfire? At the end of episode 10 during the final bonfire, the pair chose to leave the island together and as they were leaving they headed out to a floral path. Lino got down on one knee and proposed, which Alexa happily said yes to.
Are they still together? Yes! Alexa and Lino are still very much together and enjoying their engagement. They even went on a short vacation after filming to celebrate and to discuss everything that happened. “We did a little three-day vacation together in Hawai‘i with no phones, and we discussed everything,” Alexa told Tudum. “There was nothing for us to hide. Because we had that time together to lay everything out, our communication got better.”
