Will & Brittany
Status: Still Married
Will, 30, and Brittany, 29, were the second Season 19 couple to wed. Ahead of their wedding, they both expressed similar attributes they wanted in a future spouse. However, once they got on their honeymoon, Will and Brittany’s relationship started to spiral despite their physical chemistry.
After getting intimate the night before, Brittany opened up about how they may not have taken all the “necessary precautions,” and when she brought it up to Will, she said the mood shifted.
The vibe between Will and Brittany was off after that. They both aren’t getting what they need out of the other in regards to communication. As Brittany said, they’re not just on the same page, they’re not even in the same book. When Brittany walked away to get some air, Will didn’t feel the need to follow her.
