‘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

Netflix just dropped the most exciting new dating show of the year, in the form of Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark. The premise of the series is simple: six singles check into a fancy motel in the hopes of finding love. But, instead of their potential soulmate walking through the door, they're met with their booty calls, aka, their sneaky links. The show is hosted by Chloe Veitch, a reality TV pro and Perfect Match, Too Hot to Handle, and The Circle alumni, and Spicy Mari, a dating expert. But who is Spicy Mari, and have we seen her before? Here's everything you need to know about the Sneaky Links co-host. Spicy Mari, whose real name is Maricela Soto, is a relationship expert at the Sneaky Links motel, whose role is a mix of dating coach and therapist.

When speaking on Too Hot To Handle contestant Harry Jowsey's podcast, Boyfriend Material, Veitch opened up about her time working with Spicy Mari. She said: "[Spicy Mari] is not one to be f***ed with. She is so good at her job, but she is so direct. She doesn't cut any corners." Veitch also spoke about the pair's dynamic on the show, explaining that she is the "big sister" to the contestants, while Spicy Mari "holds more of the respect title." Veitch expanded: "When she speaks, you listen, and take on her advice. So her aim for being on the show with me was just so that I didn't get an HR issue." Yes, Spicy Mari is on Instagram. Her handle is @spicymari, and she currently has 69.1K followers. Her grid is a mixture of Sneaky Links content, inspirational quotes, sweet family snaps, and footage from her The Spicy Life podcast.

New on Netflix This Week (May 19–25): From Forget You Not to She the People, 10 fresh drops to obsess over
New on Netflix This Week (May 19–25): Buckle up, stream queens and couch kings! Netflix is serving up a seriously dramatic buffet of new titles this week, and whether you're here for messy reality romance, jaw-dropping documentaries, or dark, twisty tales with a side of scandal, May 19 to 25 has something to make your eyeballs pop. From NFL legends being dragged to cult-like rich girl drama, here's what's hot, what's scandalous, and what you absolutely must binge this week: 1. Untold: The Fall of Favre (May 20) The NFL legend Brett Favre may have the stats and the rings, but honey, this doc peels back the glitter to reveal a mess of explicit texts, legal drama, and welfare fraud. If you thought sports scandals were just deflated footballs and locker room gossip, think again. This is 'Untold' with claws out. Final film in the May Untold series. Watch. Cringe. Repeat. 2. Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark (May 21) Six singles + motel room + old hookups = absolute chaos. This juicy reality show is your new late-night guilty pleasure, hosted by Chloe Veitch (Too Hot to Handle). Think: Love Island but with situationships. Will they cuff up or keep creeping at 1 AM? Spicy Mari is there to help… or stir the pot. Either way, you'll want popcorn (and a glass of wine). 3. Real Men (May 21) Four dudes in their 40s, trying to catch up with feminism and modern-day manhood. This one's a feel-good comedy with a side of midlife awakening. Expect awkward convos, hilarious fails, and a few heart-tugs. Toxic masculinity is so last season, bro. 4. She the People (May 22) A badass woman in power, a shady male governor, and family drama under a microscope. Yes, ma'am. Antoinette Dunkerson is not here to play. With a killer cast and Perry's classic flair, this 16-episode saga (8 now, 8 in August) dives deep into what it means to be a Black woman in politics. Grab your pearls, it's giving Olivia Pope meets Madea realness. 5. Sirens (May 22) When your sister's new boss looks like she runs a high-end cult but also throws fabulous island parties, you intervene. Or try to. Simone's addicted to luxury and power, and Devon's about to go head-to-head with queen bee Michaela. It's dark. It's seductive. It's giving Succession x Gone Girl energy. Don't say we didn't warn you. 6. Forget You Not (May 23) Comedian. Cashier. Wife. Daughter. Le-le's juggling it all, but life keeps throwing lemons and not the sweet kind. Between an emotionally distant husband and a rocky relationship with her father, she's forced to find herself… all over again. This one's tender, introspective, and quietly powerful. Grab tissues. Maybe two boxes. 7. Off Track 2 (May 23) Lisa and her brother are all set for a gruelling 200-mile bike race. Enter: exes, old flames, and emotional hills tougher than the terrain. Add in a mid-life identity crisis, and you've got a Nordic rom-dramedy that proves love, like cycling, is messy, painful, and totally worth it (sometimes). 8. Big Mouth: Season 8 (Final Season) - May 23 The teens of Bridgeton High are back for one final hurrah. Expect hormone monsters, awkward firsts, and a cameo from Compassion (voiced by Queen Holly Hunter). From porn problems to cancel culture and existential dread, this farewell season is as cringe-worthy, gross, and heartwarming as it gets. Thanks for the trauma laughs, Big Mouth. You will be missed (but also, not really). 9. Air Force Elite: Thunderbirds (May 23) Executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama (yep), this doc throws you into the cockpit with America's top pilots. The Thunderbirds don't just fly, they dazzle, risking everything in high-speed aerial acrobatics. Think Top Gun, but real. And terrifying. And kind of beautiful. 10. Fear Street: Prom Queen (May 23) It's prom season at Shadyside High, and the mean girls are dropping like flies. With blood, glitter, and '80s vibes, this new chapter in the Fear Street franchise is pure horror camp. Think Carrie but bitchier. Who will wear the crown… and who will wear a body bag? This week on Netflix, love gets messy, men get real, girls get scary, and jets defy physics. You? You just need snacks, WiFi, and a clear schedule. Happy streaming, drama lovers!
