Season 5 was a rollercoaster, and it ended with a bang — anda reunion episode brimming with drama.
One of the buzziest moments from the season wasMilton JohnsonandLydia Velez Gonzalez’s relationship — namely the time Lydia revealed thatshe had previously dated fellow participant Uche Okorohaoutside of the pods.
Despite this, Milton and Lydia were able to overcome the challenges and were the only couple to say “I do.” During the October reunion episode, they revealed that they were still happily married almost a year and a half after the finale aired.
“I think in the past, before I met Lydia… I would typically stay at work too late. Now, 5:30 hits and I’m like, ‘Hey, I gotta get home to my wife,'” Milton told Nick and Vanessa at the time. “A few years ago, I could’ve never imagined feeling this way, being this way. It’s beautiful.”
