On May 9, 2025, Netflix's Too Hot to Handle: Italy debuted, adding ten contestants to the series' recognizable temptation-versus-connection experiment. Couples are tasked with developing emotional ties without engaging in physical contact in this opulent Dominican Republic villa, with each rule violation costing them prize money. As competitors embraced the challenge, the pot shrank from €100,000 to €62,000 at the end, resulting in relationships that many believed would be real-life.
Multiple connections lit up screens in the villa. After a slow-burning spark, Evissia "Ibiza" Altea and Daniele Iaia developed a strong friendship. Klodian Mihaj and Michelle Veronesi also walked hand in hand, and Carlotta Cocins and Alessandro Varsi had a playful, loving relationship.
Jacopo Tommasini and Alessia Toso seemed to be linked, but they have since parted ways, while Yomely Fernandez and Maurilio La Barbera made a strong late-season drive. But only three pairs have indicated that they will continue after the event.
Fans wonder which of these villa romances will last the test of time as cast members return to their regular lives, whether it's modeling in Milan or working in restaurants in Venice. The pressure is on to see if any of these couples will live up to expectations or if Italy will adopt the franchise's short-lived love pattern. There have been no confirmed updates or reunions as of yet.
Relationship status of Too Hot To Handle: Italy cast explored
Ibiza and Daniele
Despite having obvious chemistry on Too Hot To Handle: Italy at first, Ibiza and Daniele found it difficult to bond emotionally because of her reserved demeanor and his flirtatious behavior. They even became fan favorites after displaying unexpected personal progress over time.
Daniele ended up winning the final prize pot, and the couple left the retreat committed to exploring their relationship. They seem to have parted ways since Too Hot To Handle: Italy, though. Daniele is pursuing his music career in Rome, while Ibiza is currently concentrating on her modeling and her son.
Michelle and Klodian
Michelle and Klodian's relationship developed through patience and vulnerability, making it one of the most emotionally mature relationships. Michelle's encouragement enabled Klodian to open up despite his initial apprehension about commitment, and they officially departed the show together.
Although they haven't made their relationship public, there are indications that they are still together and fostering their relationship despite living far apart, with Klodian running an upscale restaurant in Venice and Michelle in Milan.
Carlotta and Alessandro
From the start of Too Hot To Handle: Italy, Carlotta and Alessandro were the ones who brought the heat, frequently disobeying Lana's orders and costing the organization thousands of dollars. But with time, their bond grew stronger.
Despite Carlotta's reluctance to categorize their relationship, post-show updates suggest that they have become even more intimate. Alessandro owns a restaurant in Rome, and Carlotta lives in Dubai. Despite their long-distance romance, their social media posts suggest they are still very much in love.
Yomely and Maurilio
Michelle was Maurilio's first choice on Too Hot To Handle: Italy, but his attention was diverted by Yomely's appearance. Despite some bumps down the road, particularly when newbie Giovanni stirred things up, they ultimately decided to leave the show together.
Although they have subsequently kept their relationship covert, their social media activity raises the possibility that they are still together. Maurilio is still balancing his business endeavors, and Yomely is employed as a model.
Jacopo and Alessia
Jacopo and Alessia had a strong but unnoticed relationship. They left the retreat together after discovering common ground despite having different initial interests. However, life outside the show may have pulled them apart.
Alessia is pursuing her music career, while Jacopo has relocated to Greece for a client management role.
