The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 2 OTT Release Date - When and where to watch new drama-filled dating chapter
The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 2 OTT Release Date - If you've been waiting to dive back into the emotionally charged, partner-swapping chaos of The Ultimatum: Queer Love, the wait is almost over. Season 2 of The Ultimatum: Queer Love officially premieres on June 25, 2025, on Netflix. Episodes will roll out over two weeks, so don't expect the whole season in one drop. What's new in The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 2? If you've watched the first season, you already know how this goes: One person in each couple is ready to get married, the other isn't quite there. So, the couple joins the show, splits up, dates other people in the cast, enters a 'trial marriage' with a new partner, and then reunites with their original person to decide whether to say 'I do,' walk away, or commit to someone new entirely. This time around, the experiment takes place in Miami, which means sunshine, high-stakes poolside conversations, and even higher emotional tension. JoAnna Garcia Swisher (of Sweet Magnolias fame) returns as host, guiding the six new queer couples through this whirlwind of love, doubt, discovery, and very public decision-making. Meet the Season 2 couples Here's a quick intro to the six pairs who've decided to put their love on the line: AJ & Britney: Together 5 years. AJ is unsure about always being second to Britney's ambitions. Britney wants clarity, now. Haley & Pilar: Together for 10 years. Haley is ready to marry the love of her life, but Pilar thinks marriage is a 'societal construct.' Kyle & Bridget: Together 2.5 years. Kyle wants marriage, but Bridget doesn't see the point, but still sees a future with Kyle. Ashley & Marita, Marie & Mel, Dayna & Magan: These three couples round out the cast, each bringing their own version of 'We need to talk' to the table. Every pair is facing a fork in the road: either get engaged or get out. So, mark your calendar. Whether you're in it for the romance, the therapy-level conversations, or the dramatic 'choose your spouse' moments, The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 2 promises to deliver.

'The Ultimatum: Queer Love' season one cast — where are they now?
Photo by Simone Thompson/Netflix 'The Ultimatum: Queer Love' season one cast — where are they now? When Netflix premiered The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On in 2022, viewers watched straight couples face a tricky question: 'Will you marry me, or walk away?' In 2023, the streamer spun off a bold new experiment in The Ultimatum: Queer Love, which featured five LGBTQ+ duos who swapped partners for 'trial marriages,' then reunited to decide if they'd commit forever or call it quits. Over ten drama‑packed episodes, one partner issued an ultimatum—marry or move on—and the candidates moved in with someone else, blurring lines of romance, identity, and self‑growth. After a fiery reunion special, only one pair stayed engaged. Now that Netflix has announced season 2, let's catch up with the original cast—where they started on camera, what happened behind the scenes, and where their love stands today. Yoly, haunted by her feelings for Xander, still accepted Mal's wedding proposal. However, continued rumblings about trust and honesty unraveled their bond. Their finale 'I do' rang hollow, and both acknowledged they'd rather be friends than spouses. Eventually, even that fizzled. See on Instagram Yoly dove into a 'dating me' era—solo cooking videos, dog‑mom adventures, and, in November 2023, soft-launched her new partner, Domenick Flores, whom she still dates as of May 2025. See on Instagram Her Instagram is a tapestry of travel vlogs, Pilates classes, and sunset kisses with her new love. See on Instagram Mal, ever the romantic, forged an unbreakable 'family' friendship with Lexi, FaceTiming her daily. See on Instagram She's deeply involved in community organizing, streaming self-care tips, and introducing us to her new girlfriend, Sammy Picone. See on Instagram Tiff, an LGBTQ+ coach hopeful, asked Mildred, a devoted mother and Zumba instructor, for marriage, despite repeated blowups over communication and Tiff's role in Mildred's son's life. Their trial pairing with other partners only magnified tensions, and a revealing reunion unveiled an alleged domestic dispute, culminating in Tiff's dramatic exit. No vows, no healing—just headlines. See on Instagram Tiff harnessed the drama into creative ventures, including co-hosting the Fweebs Podcast, launching Cameo shout-outs, and speaking at Pride events coast to coast. They're single, thrifting vintage looks, leveling up in web design studies, and advocating for domestic violence awareness. Their Instagram is a mix of motivational reels and cameo appearances. See on Instagram After losing their dog, Shylo, they introduced us all to their new dog, Bucket, a few months ago. See on Instagram Mildred retreated from the spotlight after social‑media backlash, resurfacing only for Zumba livestreams and occasional 'healing through dance' posts. Although Mildred hasn't returned to mainstream platforms, she's reportedly attending local fitness classes and focusing on her son—proof that stepping away can be part of one's own ultimatum to survive and thrive. She told Netflix Tudum that she's not ready for anything serious and enjoys being single. See on Instagram Vanessa, a fierce influencer, and Xander, a Hawaii‑based PT and coach, were the only couple to say no on their Ultimatum Day. Vanessa's fear of losing herself clashed with Xander's desire for partnership. Even though they had a sweet moment together during the reunion that seemed as though they'd continue in friendship, the two have slowly become more estranged. See on Instagram Vanessa, who was dubbed the villain on the season, decamped to L.A., embracing a 'solo era' of European backpacking, luxury brand collabs, and living her best life. See on Instagram It appears that she is currently single, despite some rumored relationships over the years. See on Instagram Xander, meanwhile, stayed in Hawaii. She launched her physical-therapy practice, studied to be a yoga instructor, and even weighed out a move to San Diego before deciding to stay put. See on Instagram In a photo collage reconnecting with the cast from the show, she said she would do it all over again just to be where she is now. Lexi, the confident content creator, laid down the law with Rae, a soft‑spoken software engineer, demanding a yes‑or‑no answer about marriage. In their trial marriage, Rae's chemistry with Vanessa sparked jealousy, but ultimately, Rae proposed to Lexi in a candlelit finale. Lexi tearfully accepted, vowing to build a future together. Yet fans cringed as Lexi's micromanaging clashed with Rae's need for emotional space, setting the stage for a rocky reunion. By reunion day, the engagement ring had already been shelved. Lexi shifted gears post‑show into full‑time influencing, partnering with wellness brands, sharing weight‑lifting clips, and launching a relationship with photographer Kristin Zancanelli (a.k.a. 'Zanc'), whom she engaged in March 2024. Lexi's content now celebrates queer love with floral ring selfies and workout duets. See on Instagram Rae, meanwhile, traded Orange County for Los Angeles and doubled down on personal empowerment. Why is her drink order always better than mine 😩 #fyp #funny #happyhour #drinks #couple The former fiancée boasts a thriving career as a software engineer, globe‑trotting TikToks, and weekly therapy sessions to unlearn people‑pleasing patterns. She's now in a relationship with talent manager Caitlin Kearney. See on Instagram Sam, an optimistic social worker, confronted Aussie, a nonbinary artist wrestling with past trauma, demanding a ring or a breakup. Their trial marriages tested Aussie's boundaries, as well as Aussie's journey through gender identity exploration, and anchored their bond. In a surprise finale, Aussie accepted Sam's proposal, promising to heal and grow together. Photo by Simone Thompson/Netflix They remain the only couple from Season 1 to still be engaged, prioritizing their personal journeys over wedding plans. See on Instagram On Instagram, Sam shares Aussie's leather‑punk lookbooks and wellness check‑ins, while Aussie chronicles nights out in Loewe boots and gender‑euphoric fashion experiments. Aussie credits Sam for allowing them to explore their identity, and in return, has coached Sam through family‑origin work and somatic therapy. See on Instagram Although they haven't set a date, they've locked down one detail: only Tiff and Vanessa get wedding invites. - YouTube Sam and Aussie's continued engagement proved that sometimes a bold ultimatum can blossom into a true partnership. The rest have scattered into new relationships, careers, and creative projects—each writing their own happily‑ever‑after, whether single, partnered, or soulfully solo. With season 2 on the horizon, six new queer couples will test love's boundaries all over again. Will Netflix's next batch finally produce a second success story? Or will more hearts be broken on the path to marriage? One thing's certain: we'll be here, popcorn at the ready, to track every ring, breakup, and soft‑launch in the queer love multiverse.

LGBTQ people and young women are astrology's biggest fans, U.S. survey finds
About half of LGBTQ Americans, or 54%, consult astrology or a horoscope at least yearly, which is about twice the portion of U.S. adults overall, at 28%, according to a new report. The report, published by Pew Research Center on Wednesday, is based on a nationally representative survey of 9,593 U.S. adults conducted last year. LGBTQ adults were also three times as likely to consult tarot cards than non-LGBTQ adults (33% vs. 9%), and four times as likely to say they rely 'at least a little' on what they learn from astrology and tarot to make major life decisions (21% vs. 5%), the survey found. LGBTQ women were more likely than LGBTQ men to consult astrology and tarot at least once a year, at 63% and 40%, respectively. Younger U.S. women, generally, were more likely to report believing in and consulting astrology, the report found. Nearly half (43%) of younger women, those ages 18 to 49, said they believe in astrology and consult astrology, compared with 27% of women 50 and older, 20% of men ages 18 to 49, and 15% of men 50 or older. The results might not surprise some members of the queer community, whose interest in astrology has been well-documented on social media and in dozens of books and articles. In fact, Netflix on Wednesday released the full cast of the upcoming second season of 'The Ultimatum: Queer Love,' a popular reality show about queer couples in which one member of the couple has given the other an ultimatum to get married, and each cast member's personal information includes their astrological sign. Pew Research Center noted in its report that 'there is limited academic research on the topic' of why LGBTQ people are more interested in astrology, but that 'media publications focused on LGBTQ+ issues have described the prevalence of New Age practices in the LGBTQ+ community.' Some queer people who grew up in unsupportive religious communities have also written about how astrology provided them with a daily practice similar to religion. Some religious adults were more likely to consult astrology, the report found. Those who were among the most likely to say they consult it at least annually were Hispanic Catholics (39%), Black Protestants (33%) and adults who say their religion is 'nothing in particular' (35%). White evangelicals and atheists were among the groups most likely to say they never consult astrology, horoscopes, tarot cards or fortune tellers, the report found.
