‘Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark': Are Manny and Avery Still Together?
When the cast of Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark first checked into the Sneaky Links Motel, I did not have high hopes. But, watching Manny—a hot, but somewhat callous 26-year-old travel nurse—and Avery—a 26-year-old recruiter—fall for each other and leave the Motel together actually made me believe that this reality show could really work. But the real test of its success is seeing which Sneaky Links couples are still together now, a year after the cameras stopped rolling. So, are Manny and Avery from Sneaky Links still together? Yes! Manny and Avery are still together one year later, and they don't have to hide it anymore! Avery announced the news with an Instagram post one week after Sneaky Links premiered. 'When you still weren't really sure his last name a month into dating so you assumed it must just be 'thecolumbian,'' she joked, referencing Manny's Instagram handle @mannythecolumbian. 'Time flies when ur having fun!! (Mostly) can't believe I met u a whole year ago.' The couple's number one fan? Spicy Mari, the relationship expert who guided them on Sneaky Links. She left a comment on Avery's Instagram poking a little fun at their meet cute story, and hinting at their dramatic on-screen journey. 'It only took kidnapping you for a month in 120 degree weather, isolation from all media and entertainment, going through tough activities, challenges, sessions, and almost losing her... to realize you needed to leave your sneaking linking behind lol,' she commented, clearly referring to Manny's conflicted feelings for Avery and Nicole V. ICYMI, Manny nearly lost Avery for good when he told both her and Nicole that they were his number one choice. But, that's all water under the bridge now. And for what it's worth, it looks like Manny is more than willing to own up to his past misdeeds. Before they confirmed that they were together, he posted a video to TikTok addressing his edit on the show, writing, 'I think I went from the villain to the most improved.' Couldn't agree more, Manny! The two haven't spilled all the details on their year-long relationship yet, but it looks like they are not living together and are enjoying their long distance relationship. Avery lives in Nashville, Manny in Texas, and she even shared a TikTok video of him picking her up from the airport. Cute! Congrats to the happy sneaky links-turned-couple!

Where are the Sneaky Links cast now? From breakups to soft launches, here's what they've been up to
It's been just over a week since Netflix's Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark arrived on our screens, and it's safe to say we're a little obsessed with the reality show that sees the cast reunite with their previous sneaky links and see if they can make their relationships work. However, while it's only been a week for us, it's been many months since the cast wrapped up filming and in that time the show's four final couples have been veryyy busy. We're talking new friendships, breakups and full on new couples. So here's all the updates you need on what the cast of Sneaky Links has been up to since filming ended. Ok so the big news of what Colt has been up to, or not been up to, is that he is no longer in a relationship with Kelsey. Colt revealed during an interview with Swoon, the pair broke up a few weeks after leaving the motel, stating that returning to the "real world" was what caused their separation. However, he has said they are still on good terms and occasionally see each other around in their native Nashville. Since then he's being dating but not been in any serious relationships, he's also been in communication with Angelique, as the pair followed each other after filming and occasionally message each other. As for that from the looks of his Instagram he appears to be continuing with his modelling and going to festivals. Aside from breaking up with Colt, Kelsey has been busy, she appears to have grown a solid friendship with Angelique and spends a lot of her time hanging around with the rest of the cast. She's also gone on a trip the Bahamas, had lots of boujiee dinners with her pals and celebrated her birthday. Since departing the motel with Manny, Avery has been a busy girl. In March earlier this year she got a new job as a business recruiter according to her Linkedin and she's also been hanging out with the cast of Sneaky Links after returning home. As for her relationship with Manny? Well the pair haven't confirmed their relationship but still seem to be veryyyyy friendly on social media, which to us indicates they may still be together. According to Manny's Instagram he still seems to be based in Houston. As for what he's been up to, well it appears fun nights out and a skiing trip to Colorado. As we already know Jacie ended her connection with Brandon before leaving the show, and since checking out of the motel she's been working on her modelling, sharing many photos on her Instagram from shoots she's been involved in. And most importantly she appears to have just soft-launched her new relationship, after she shared a new picture on her Instagram story of herself and a mystery man cuddling up by a swimming pool, captioning it: "the right person always finds their way to you." While Jacie appears to have moved on, right now there's no update on Brandon's relationship status. Instead since the show, he appears to just be having a great time, he's been to a wedding and hung out with the cast of Sneaky Links. Ok so since filming wrapped up, while we're still waiting on confirmation of her relationship status with Travis, we do know Zoe has kept in touch with many of the Sneaky Links cast, including her new found besties - Angelique and Samira, with the trio regularly posting together. And in regards to Travis, while they haven't officially confirmed it, if Travis' most recent comment on Zoe's Instagram "Someone call The Louvre, a masterpiece got away" is anything to go by we'd put good money on these two still being a thing. As well as likely being in a relationship with Zoe, Travis has also been getting his photo taken a lot with a bunch of photoshoots taking over his Instagram feed. He's also been working on his poetry, sharing poems to his Instagram and hanging out with his friends. Sneaky Links is available on Netflix now

Manny Pacquiao can beat Barrios via knockout
Retired two-division champion Gerry Peñalosa believes Manny Pacquiao remains capable of scoring a knockout when he takes on WBC world welterweight champion Mario Barrios on July 19 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Filipino boxing icon had set the world abuzz when news broke out that he would make a comeback at 46 years old. And while Peñalosa admitted that he is also worried for his friend, he nevertheless sees that Pacquiao still has the tools to become a world champion again. "Manny will prepare for this and he will make sure he has the stamina to last for twelve rounds," Peñalosa said in an exclusive interview. "If he hits Barrios, good night. Manny has power, the fight is for twelve rounds, he still has speed, and gloves are small. What if Manny hits him first? Boxing is over." Pacquiao last saw action in 2021 when he dropped a unanimous decision loss to Yordenis Ugas. He only figured in a couple of exhibitions since that fateful night, raising concerns from both fans and industry insiders about his comeback. For Peñalosa, Pacquiao has always been about taking risks in and out of the ring. "Manny is willing to take risks. He is worth watching because he doesn't care as long as he hits his opponent. If he gets there first, then the fight might be over in one round," Peñalosa quipped. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Which 'Sneaky Links' Couples Are Still Together? 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. (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 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. 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...
