‘Temptation Island’ Season 2: Which Couples Are Still Together?
Temptation Island is back for round two on Netflix, and it was messier than ever. As usual, when the couples were separated by gender and placed into two different villas, we saw several participants find connections with the single tempters. All the while, the main cast had plenty of revelations about their current partners, whether via their own self-reflection or watching bonfire clips. (Sometimes both.) It led to some seriously explosive moments when they reunited at the end of the process. (Warning: Spoilers for Temptation Island Season 2 ahead!)
Summit Wallace and Kaylee Needham, Cole Mueller and Scarlett Bentley, Mikey Bivens and Sydney McGregor, and Shyanne Blankenship and Jack Mason all entered Temptation Island in relationships, but not all of them left that way. Some were driven apart by actual cheating, while others didn’t cross any lines but left alone anyway. Swooon is breaking down everything we know about the Temptation Island Season 2 cast’s relationship statuses below.
Temptation Island, Season 2, Streaming Now, Netflix
Summit and Kaylee
Status: Still Together
Summit and Kaylee put their relationship to the test one year in. They explained that their relationship is “opposites attract,” according to Tudum. Summit was struggling to commit and admitted he became a bad boyfriend because of that. They broke up and got back together before arriving, with Kaylee giving Summit a list of things to work on.
During their stays in their respective villas, Kaylee nor Summit cheated, but they brought to light a few other issues. Kaylee claimed that Summit was critical of her body and dragged her down, and wanted Summit to try and do better. At the final bonfire, though, they decided to stay together. Though they haven’t shared a post-show update yet (like the rest of the cast), Kaylee and Summit still follow each other on Instagram and appear to both be living in New York City.
Mikey and Sydney
Status: Split
A year and a half into their relationship, Sydney and Mikey went onto Temptation Island because Sydney needed reassurance that Mikey’s “player” days were behind him. In Episode 1, Mikey showed interest in a few other women, but didn’t cross a physical boundary with them. However, his comments about wanting to shoot his shot with temptress India and be selfish were included in an early bonfire, prompting Sydney to explore her connection with tempter Xzavier.
Sydney and Xzavier kissed and remained close until the end of the season. When it came down to it, Mikey said he wanted to go home alone, and their relationship officially came to an end. They no longer follow each other on Instagram.
Cole and Scarlett
Status: Split
Cole and Scarlett spent two years together before signing on for the show, and they were struggling to overcome Cole’s lies in the beginning stages of their relationship. Further, Scarlett went on to say that it was hard to connect with Cole, and Cole explained that he felt like he was in a “constant state of surveillance” around his girlfriend. Regardless, neither crossed any physical lines with any tempters.
Whether they would remain together was up in the air until the final bonfire, when Cole revealed that he read Scarlett’s journal when the men visited the women’s villa. Cole wanted to leave with Scarlett, but Scarlett decided to leave alone, despite growing close to tempter Bradley. They still follow each other on Instagram, though, so their status after filming isn’t completely clear.
Shyanne and Jack
Status: Split
Shyanne and Jack, who had been together for five years, had the most tumultuous journey of all. He cheated on his girlfriend three years into their relationship, so Shyanne wanted to put Jack to the ultimate test on Temptation Island. Ultimately, Jack broke early on in the season after kissing temptress Carter, at which point Shyanne decided their relationship was unfixable. Jack said he felt like he lost himself when he was with Shyanne and decided to go all in with the temptresses, getting physical with Carter and Jesenia. Shyanne followed suit with Preston.
They decided to each leave alone in the end — though they teased that they still need to talk in a pre-premiere Instagram video. They also still follow each other, so it’s not totally clear where they stand.
Sydney & Xzavier
Status: Still Together
Sydney was the only person in the group to officially pick someone else: Xzavier. They both revealed that their feelings for each other were growing stronger, and Xzavier happily scooped Sydney into his arms when they left the island together. Before they did, they confessed the depth of their feelings for each other.
“Honestly, it’s just so nice to have somebody who sees me for who I am and is always there to give me a different perspective and tell me what they see in me and what I deserve and show up like that every single day,” she said. “I would be lying if I didn’t tell you I genuinely have fallen in love with you.”
“I’ve been loving you for some time, Sydney,” Xzavier responded. “You make it really easy. I want you in my life.”
They currently follow each other on Instagram, so it appears they either remain on good terms or are still seeing each other.
