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...

Thousands of Netflix fans gather for Tudum
In Brief Netflix released a flurry of announcements and trailers around high-profile projects including 'Squid Game,' 'Wednesday,' and 'Stranger Things 5' last night at its annual Tudum marketing event. While this year's Tudum (made for the sound that plays when you open the app) was livestreamed for the first time on Netflix itself (as opposed to YouTube), The Los Angeles Times reports that 9,500 fans gathered in-person at the Kia Forum in Southern California, hoping to see their favorite stars — including Lady Gaga, who performed at the event and will be guest-starring on 'Wednesday.' Chief Marketing Officer Marian Lee boasted that no other studio would be able to 'all those fans in a room together, WWE fans next to 'Knives Out' fans next to Lady Gaga fans for 'Wednesday.'' 'That is something only Netflix can do,' Lee said. As for the announcements, the biggest might be that 'Stranger Things 5' — the nostalgia-driven horror show's final season — will air in three parts, starting on November 26, with the finale released on New Year's Eve.

New on Netflix May 31-June 6: 7 new TV shows and movies to stream this week, picked by our editor
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Want to find yourself something new on Netflix this week, for a binge-watch or just an evening's entertainment? I'm on the case. As part of my job as What to Watch's streaming editor, compile weekly lists of the best new additions that Netflix releases. This week, I'm looking at new shows, movies and specials that'll release on Netflix between Saturday, May 31 and Friday, June 6. Many of the Netflix Originals I pick end up on our list of the best Netflix shows and best Netflix movies. Not all of them but I want to give you multiple options depending on your taste. Netflix's overall list this week had quite a few returning shows but I wanted a balance of original and popular ones, so there's a fair blend here. There's lots of crime, but that's Netflix for you. So let's find you something to watch on Netflix this week: We begin the week in Spain, for a six-part crime drama about a former spy called Sara. Woman in the Shadows is about this woman who forces herself to return to the intelligence game because she wants to get revenge for the death of her son. However her task sees her having to confront some uncomfortable facts about who her son really was. Releases on Tuesday, June 3 Shaquille O'Neal probably needs no introduction, but the famous basketball player has since his sporting days proven just as successful in business. And his new docuseries coming mid-week explores that side of him. Power Moves is a part-sport, part-business docuseries about Shaq's time leading the Reebok Basketball brand. He tries to revitalize it using his knowledge and passion for the game as well as his financial and branding acumen. Releases on Wednesday, June 4 A beloved though also divisive drama series returns to Netflix this week with Ginny & Georgia season 3, which gets all ten episodes of its new run at the same time. The show is about a mother and daughter (and the mother's other child) who try to find a way to settle down after being on the run for many years. In the season 2 finale, Georgia was arrested for murder, so season 3 will show Ginny trying to free her. Releases on Thursday, June 5 Shane Gillis' home-made workplace comedy Tires returns this week. The first season was made and funded by the divisive comedian and it was successful enough to get Netflix to create a second. Tires is about the workers of an auto shop who struggle to keep in business despite the incompetent and nervous owner, and the slacking attitude of everyone else. Season 2 follows them struggling to come to terms with unexpected new success. Releases on Thursday, June 5 Another Korean action series lands on Friday, June 6 with Mercy for None, which is set among Seoul's seedy criminal underbelly. Mercy for None tells the story of Gi-jun, who was a mob enforcer but left his brother and that life (and the city) behind over a decade ago. However when his brother is killed, Gi-jun returns to the city to find the murderer, a journey which involves fighting lots of the gang members. Releases on Friday, June 6 His partnership with Netflix mostly focuses on TV shows, but prolific creator Tyler Perry has a new movie arriving on Friday, June 6 which he wrote and directed. Straw is about a single mother called Janiyah whose daughter is sick. Janiyah is struggling to keep caring for the child and something happens which pushes her to the edge. Releases on Friday, June 6 We travel to Australia for our final series of the week, which is based on a book by Jane Harper. The Survivors stars Charlie Vickers and Yerin Ha and it's set in a fictional town in Tasmania. The Survivors is about a young boy who leaves said town after the mysterious death of two children and the disappearance of a third. Fifteen years later he returns to the town, this time with a wife and young baby in tow. However another murder takes place, and it sparks off an investigation which seems linked to the last crime. Secrets are revealed which affect the man and his family. Releases on Friday, June 6

25 Celebs Who Dissolved Their Facial Fillers
Dermal fillers have become a popular cosmetic procedure in recent years. While some people still love the look, a surprising number have decided to reverse or stop getting their fillers. Here are 25 celebs who opened up about dissolving or stopping their fillers: In a 2025 Instagram post, Courtney Stodden said, "I started getting lip filler at 17. Back then, I truly believed I had to change myself to be accepted — even by me. I didn't give myself the chance to love who I really was. I was chasing perfection, running from insecurity, and hiding behind enhancements. But recently, I made a decision that felt radical: I completely dissolved my lips!!! 👄 they feel small, but real! Aaaand I absolutely love them this way 👀💋🙌 And just now, for the first time, I'm beginning to learn that I am enough. This isn't about rejecting beauty — it's about redefining it on my own terms. I've learned that real confidence isn't in what we add, but in what we choose to embrace. To anyone who feels like they need to change to be enough: you don't. You already are." Here's a picture of them a year prior: In her Netflix stand-up comedy special Ellen Degeneres: For Your Approval, Ellen DeGeneres said, "I used to say that I didn't care what other people thought of me. I realize now, looking back, that I said that at the height of my popularity. Hey, if I look older than when you saw me last, it's because I'm older than when you saw me last. And also, I stopped doing Botox and filler...I used to do Botox and filler back when I didn't care what other people thought of me... such a waste of time to worry about what others think of us. Just a waste of energy. We're just guessing, we don't know. It's impossible to guess what people are thinking." Here's Ellen in 2019: In 2022, Simon Cowell told the Sun, "There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far [with fillers]. I saw a picture of me from 'before' the other day and didn't recognize it as me first of all. Eric [my son] was in hysterics. Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero." Here's Simon a few years prior: In 2023, Angela White (aka Blac Chyna) documented the process of getting her lip, cheek, and jawline fillers dissolved on Instagram. "I'm tired of the look, and it's just not flattering. It's not what I look like...I'm ready to get back to Angela." Here's a picture of her before she dissolved her fillers: And here she is a full year after dissolving them: In a 2024 Instagram post, Tallulah Willis said, "I was scared to mention, but I recently got my filler dissolved — after being very emotionally and psychologically wrapped up in what I thought it gave me — I hadn't seen my real bone structure in like six years. Still learning to dial back the futzing and the pokes and sit with myself as I am, which is hard when your brain tells you that yes! more is better!" Here's a picture of Tallulah in 2023, before she dissolved her fillers: In a 2021 Instagram post, Amy Schumer said, "I tried getting fillers. Turns out I was already full. Thank God you can dissolve them I looked like [Maleficent]." Here's Amy a few weeks prior: In 2023, Ariana Grande told Vogue, "I had a ton of lip filler over the years and Botox. I stopped in 2018 because I felt so — too much. For a long time, beauty was about hiding for me, and now I feel like maybe it's not. I want to see my well-earned cry lines and smile lines. I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper, and I laugh more and more. Aging can be such a beautiful thing." Here's Ariana in 2016: In 2006, Jessica Simpson told Glamour that she had previously tried lip injections. She said, "I had that Restylane stuff. It looked fake to me. I didn't like that. But... it went away in, like, four months. My lips are back to what they were. Thank God!" Here's Jessica earlier that year: And here she is more recently: On a 2016 episode of Kocktails With Khloé, Khloé Kardashian said, "Everyone says I've had my nose done, and I swear I haven't. I don't know if it's Botox or filler, [but] I did one of them, and my whole face went numb, and I could not make [an expression]. I had to dissolve everything...I looked crazy, and I still think the effects are, like, in there." Khloé said this happened right before her husband at the time, Lamar Odom, was found unresponsive after a four-day bender. She continued, "I was so stressed out that the doctor was like, 'I think it's just that too much was happening to your real emotions.' And my face was so fucked, I had to go and get this whole thing, like, dissolved. It was a bummer because now I'm afraid to do it again, but I swear, I think things are still in my face." Here's Khloé a few weeks after getting her lip fillers dissolved: And here's a more recent picture of here: In July 2018, a fan commented on Kylie Jenner's Instagram that she "looks like the old Kylie." She replied, "I got rid of all my filler." Here she is a few months before she says she dissolved her lip filler: However, in October 2018, Kylie confirmed via Instagram that she'd resumed getting lip fillers. In a 2024 TikTok video, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice shared the process of getting her lip fillers dissolved before starting over with new filler. She said, "The reason why I'm getting it done is because I see migration on the top of my lip over here." Then, showing how her lips looked several hours after the procedure, she said, "Now I'm ready to start fresh! But I gotta wait, like, a week and a half to two weeks." Here's a more recent picture of Teresa: Courteney Cox decided to dissolve her facial fillers in 2017. Two years later, she told People, "[I tried] to keep up with time in a way that was anything other than maintenance. I didn't realize it until one day I kind of stepped back and went, 'Oh shit. I don't look like myself.'...So now I just embrace who I am and getting older with what God gave me, not what I was trying to change." And in 2022, she told the Sunday Times, "There was a time when you go, 'Oh, I'm changing. I'm looking older.' And I tried to chase that [youthfulness] for years. And I didn't realize that, oh shit, I'm actually looking really strange with injections and doing stuff to my face that I would never do would talk about me, I think. There was a period where I went, 'I've got to stop. That's just crazy.'" Here's Courteney the year before she dissolved her fillers: In 2024, The Real Housewives of Dubai star Caroline Stanbury told People that she started getting fillers and Botox at 26, but she was no longer happy with how they looked. She said, "I had one crazy eyebrow. My lips had gone a bit weird. My face just [got] rounder and rounder and bigger and bigger, because I just kept pumping filler in my jawline." So, she had it all dissolved. She added, "[I] thought to myself the cost of doing this every year, you know, is a facelift." So, after some consideration, she decided to get a deep plane facelift and have excess skin removed from her eyelids. Here's Caroline in 2023: Jeff Lewis (from the Bravo show Flipping Out) decided to dissolve his decades-old lip filler after his dermatologist refused to do any work on him until they "fixed" his lips. During a 2022 appearance on Sirius XM, he said, "What happened was the filler [from] 20 years ago…it migrated into both sides of my upper lip and created, like, two balls. Now, I didn't know it was filler; I thought it might be silicone, I didn't know. Over the years, I haven't liked it, but I thought, 'They're gonna have to cut open my lip and take it out.'" Here's Jeff in 2019: In a 2024 Instagram story post, Bhad Bhabie shared that she'd dissolved all the filler in her lips, chin, and cheeks. She wrote, "Stop doing it unless you absolutely need it. It makes you look so much older and blocks you lymphatic draining system causing pillow face! [sic]" Here she is in 2021, around the time she first opened up about getting fillers: In her 2017 memoir Unqualified, Anna Faris reportedly wrote, "I started getting lip injections in my upper lip. I did it for a little bit, and I noticed a small difference, but no one else ever said anything. I kept wondering if anybody else even noticed." She said that, eventually, her friends did notice and told her that her lips were starting to look too large, so she decided to "wean" herself off of the fillers. Here's Anna back in 2007: In 2017, Melanie Griffith told Porter magazine, "No, I didn't [realize] until people started saying. 'Oh my god, what has she done?!' I was so hurt I went to a different doctor, and he started dissolving all of this shit that this other woman doctor had put in. Hopefully, I look more normal now." Here she is in 2014: In a 2023 TikTok video, JoJo said, "A few months ago, maybe three months ago, right before I came to New York, I got my lip filler dissolved because it had started to migrate. Huh? I didn't know it could do that. I thought it was just going to 'metabolize' and dissolve. Like, I thought it was just going to go away over time, you know? No, it got, like, lumpy underneath [my upper lip], and I would run my tongue along it and be like, 'What the fuck is going on?' So anyway, I had my lip filler dissolved, and I'm really glad I did, because even if there's some remnant of something in there, which I don't think that, there is there probably is, I'm very happy with the way it looks because this is, like, the kind of natural...I don't know, I still have small lips, but you know, it's my face. It's me." Here's JoJo a few months earlier: In a 2024 Instagram story post, Olivia Culpo revealed that, ahead of her wedding, she got her lip injectables dissolved. She added, "I'm really happy the way they look now. Debating filling again but might just keep like this for the wedding." Here's a picture of Olivia from earlier in 2024, before she had her lip fillers dissolved: In a 2019 Instagram post, Yolanda Hadid said, "55 and smiling from the inside back to the original 1964. Living in a body free of breast implants, fillers, botox, extensions, and all the bullshit I thought I needed in order to keep up with what society conditioned me to believe what a sexy woman should look like until the toxicity of it all almost killed me..."It took me many years of undoing some bad choices I made for myself before I finally found the freedom to sustainable internal beauty and acceptance of what is the best version of myself by nobody's standards but my own." Here's Yolanda in 2018: In 2023, Kristin Davis told the Telegraph, "I have done fillers, and it's been good, and I've done fillers, and it's been bad. I've had to get them dissolved, and I've been ridiculed relentlessly. And I have shed tears about it." Here's Kristin in 2021: In a since-deleted 2024 TikTok, an aesthetic physician assistant criticized Lisa Rinna for having "too much filler." Lisa commented, "Skinvive [a dermal filler or gel implant] is not for everyone, and it was not good for me. Luckily we could dissolve it today. Whew." She later told People, "Some things work out, and some things don't. There's so much available to us now, which is so great, such great lasers and whatnot, and I think it's wonderful to see what works for you. And if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you." Here's Lisa at an event the month before she dissolved her Skinvine: In a 2022 Instagram story post, Lottie Tomlinson shared that she was dissolving her lip fillers. She said she was "nervous but excited to be more natural." Here's Lottie a few days before dissolving her lip fillers: And here she is a few weeks after dissolving them: And finally, in 2021, Molly-Mae Hague told The Diary of a CEO podcast that she thought she needed fillers to become a successful influencer but later decided to get them dissolved. She said, "By the age of 21, I didn't look like the same person. I literally looked like a different person. When I look back at pictures now, I'm terrified of was actually only until my sister said to me — she was like, 'We need to sort this out.' It took her to tell me. There was this one pivotal moment where I'd gone, and I'd got loads of filler, and I posted a YouTube video, and I hadn't let the filler sort of settle. And it was really swollen, and a screenshot from that video, it trended on Twitter for weeks. It was was a moment for me as well where was like, 'I think things need to change.'" As well as getting her fillers dissolved, she removed the composite bonding from her teeth. She said, "I just stripped myself back, and weirdly, I felt the prettiest I'd ever felt once it had all gone. I feel like I'd dropped about five years off my age." Here's Molly-Mae in 2020, right before she dissolved her lip fillers:
