The Netflix reality show Nick and Vanessa Lachey return as hosts to help six couples determine whether or not they can work out their fundamental differences. Each duo involved in the experiment has one partner who has issued an ultimatum. Whether they're looking for an engagement ring or an agreement to start a family, the end of the six-week period (where three weeks are spent living with another person) ends in three choices for the original couples. They can stay engaged, break up, or even leave with other people.
Jake and April, who are from Texas, endured one of the more tumultuous journeys on The Ultimatum. 26-year-old Jake is an Army and Marine Corps veteran who is looking to become more financially stable, while 23-year-old April is hoping to quickly settle down and become a mother. While April began forming a connection with Colby Kissinger after an emotional conversation with the cast during episode three, Jake felt an immediate spark on the reality dating show with Rae. Although April made it clear several times that she ultimately wanted to work things out with Jake, whom she was dating for the past two years, things between the two seemed to sour once they met back up during later episodes. With April wearing her heart on her sleeve, fans have really been rooting for her.
So, are Jake and April still together? While neither person has confirmed the status of their relationship, social media clues indicate that the couple has parted ways. While the reality dating show contestants' lack of presence together online is no coincidence.
It may sound strange, but another indication that Jake and April have separated comes from Jake's Venmo transactions. Screenshots captured by Women's Health show that one woman (who is not d with The Ultimatum) sent Jake money for food and rent after filming was completed, while a second woman paid Jake a few months ago, with champagne bottles as the memo. In addition, Jake's Facebook lists his relationship status as "single." With the two having semi-public Facebook s, April's page also lists her as "single."
If their social media profiles are anything to go by, it's practically assured that Jake and April are either enjoying the single life or searching for other partners. It's unclear when this (former?) couple broke things off for good, but considering Jake and April's bumpy ride throughout the first eight episodes, it's not surprising. The finale and reunion episodes of the reality dating show release next week, so fans only need to wait a short time to see what happens to this The Ultimatum couple.
The final two episodes of The Ultimatum can be streamed April 13 on Netflix.
