Who is 'Perfect Match' star Elys Hutchinson dating?
So, it seems Elys and Bryton's romance might've fizzled out outside the Perfect Match villa, especially with Bryton cozying up to Jade Gentile, a WWE NXT superstar better known by her ring name Jazmyn Nyx. But hold on — that doesn't mean Elys is still riding solo!
In an unexpected turn of events, in October 2023, she unveiled her romance with Too Hot to Handle Season 3 contestant Nathan Soan Mngomezulu in October 2023. Nathan even teased their relationship on October 1 by sharing a short TikTok video of him and Elys, and the clip concluded just as they were about to lock lips.
Since then, Elys and Nathan have been keeping their fans entertained with snippets of their romance. But come April 2024, rumors started swirling that they'd called it quits.
Yet, as of June 2024, Elys and Nathan are still going strong! In fact, on June 13, they were spotted attending Patrick Ta's GLOW Launch Party together in Los Angeles.
Elys dated fellow 'Too Hot to Handle' star Alex Snell.
While on Season 5 of Too Hot to Handle, Elys formed a genuine connection with fellow contestant Alex Snell. By the season's end, they were in a relationship. However, on Aug. 15, 2023, Elys disclosed that she and Alex had split after six months together post-filming.
In late August 2023, Elys sat down with Cosmopolitan UK and opened up about her split from Alex. Elys told the outlet that once they stepped out of the "honeymoon setting" of the Too Hot to Handle retreat, compatibility issues surfaced between them.
"It was very fun and very passionate. It's like having a whole new relationship outside of the show because you're left alone," she explained, adding, "I think we had very different lifestyles on the outside."
Elys continued, "Ironically, I'm actually the one who travels a lot. On the show, Alex said that he travels all the time, but actually, I travel a lot and I was working quite hard after the show. And it seemed as though he was just in [Devon, England] going to the gym. So there was a difference in motivation and career paths."
As for how their relationship ended, Elys revealed that she initiated the breakup — though Alex ultimately agreed it was the right decision for both of them.
"We've never had that in-person closure ever, it was a phone call that went very wrong. And then we didn't have any contact for a very long time," she shared. "We were meant to be going to a festival together that weekend and that weekend is when he met his new girlfriend. And literally, two weeks later, it was on social media."
In a statement given to Cosmopolitan UK, Alex expressed, "We had a phone call that went on for so long, we just weren't really compatible. We didn't have a lot of contact and then not long after that, I think it was a couple of weeks, I did meet another girl."
Perfect Match and Too Hot to Handle are now streaming on Netflix.
