Season 3 of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On was a rollercoaster from beginning to end. The season included six couples deciding if they would enter the next phase of their relationship, which involves marriage, at least for one partner in each relationship.
One couple, Scotty Lewis and Aria De'Westbrooks, kept fans intrigued throughout the season and the show's Season 3 reunion on Wednesday, Dec. 18.
Scotty is the one who issued the ultimatum, as he was more than ready to get engaged and marry Aria, but she feels that it's just not the right time for them to make such a big commitment.
So, the burning question is: Are Aria and Scotty still together, or have they decided to part ways? Here's what we know so far.
Are Aria and Scotty from 'The Ultimatum' still together?
Scotty and Aria dated for three years before they appeared on The Ultimatum. After joining the show, they entered trial marriages with other partners. Aria was paired with Caleb Lefterys, who came into the experience with his girlfriend, Mariah Zernik. Scotty paired with Zaina Sesay, who entered the show with her boyfriend, J.R. Warren.
While Scotty and Zaina's marriage ended in an intense screaming match between them, Aria and Caleb were going strong. At one point, she even wished her boyfriend would behave more like her faux husband.
"I literally lay in bed being like, ‘God, please let Scotty act like Caleb,’” Aria admitted.
Although she clicked with Caleb, they ultimately decided to stay friends. Aria and Scotty later reconnected in time for him to propose to her. She said yes, and they agreed that going on The Ultimatum changed them for the better and called it their "greatest triumph together as a couple." However, Aria and Scotty have since confirmed they were no longer together.
Why did Aria and Scotty breakup after 'The Ultimatum'?
While they spent the months before The Ultimatum Season 3 aired liking each other's social media posts, Aria and Scotty confirmed that their engagement ended one day after it happened. When asked why the engagement ended so abruptly, she shared that she realized she "made a mistake pretty fast" after Scotty's proposal.
During the heartbreaking update, Aria revealed had a miscarriage and that her grandmother died soon after her proposal ended. The couple also shared that, despite going to therapy, she ultimately realized Scotty wouldn't give her the love she desired.
"You don't love me the way I want to be loved," Aria told him. "I'm not just giving up on the relationship because I don't care, it's because I'm tired and I'm emotionally exhausted."
Scotty shared that, despite his ex-fiance not wanting to be with him romantically, he will "always be there" for her and apologized for how he hurt her. Since the reunion, both Aria and Scotty appear to be single, at least on their respective social media accounts.
