'Dated & Related' Host Melinda Berry Joined the Dating Pool as a 'Perfect Match' Contestant

The goal of Dated & Related is to help cast members make connections and help their siblings (or cousins, in some cases) find love. But some viewers are bound to be curious about the show's host, Melinda Berry, too. You may know her from the other Netflix dating show Too Hot to Handle. And, even more recently, she joined Perfect Match as a late arrival. But who is Melinda Berry dating now?

Although she isn't part of Dated & Related as a cast member looking for love, Melinda knows all about finding (and trying to find) a meaningful connection on reality TV. That may be an oxymoron for some, but clearly, Melinda believes in the power of 24-hour cameras, a swanky villa, and a cash prize as an incentive to fall in love. Thus, one of the reasons she likely agreed to return to Netflix as a contestant for the second season of Perfect Match.

When Melina was part of the Season 2 cast of Too Hot to Handle, she found herself in, well, hot water. No pun intended. She was in an almost immediate love triangle with fellow cast members Peter Vigilante and Marvin Anthony. Marvin ended up being her choice and the pair spent much of the season together.

But on the last day of filming, Melinda later revealed to Page Six, they broke up. She told the outlet she was "crushed" about not being able to work things out. But, because of their distance and the fact that COVID-19 protocols at the time made it impossible for her to travel to Paris often enough to continue a relationship, it was best for them to end it.

Since Too Hot to Handle, however, Melinda has clearly been living her best life. She's active on TikTok with more than 1 million followers and she's a professional model. Now, of course, she's also a reality TV host. And although it might be less stressful than being on the other side of things as a contestant, Melinda is unafraid to take on both roles when needed.

Following Too Hot to Handle, Melinda and Peter actually dated. According to Peter on TikTok, they broke up around March 2022. But right now, it looks like Melinda is single. She hasn't shared any photos on Instagram of any new guy in her life and she appears to be busy with her growing career. She does claim to kiss Harry Jowsey during Perfect Match, something he vehemently denies. But they definitely aren't dating IRL, kiss or not.

Instead of dating any of the f-boys she seems to encounter on Netflix dating shows, it looks like Melinda is more content to focus on traveling with friends, modeling, and (hopefully) returning to her Dated & Related hosting duties.
