For Lexi and Rae on 'The Ultimatum: Queer Love,' viewer-dubbed villain Vanessa throws a wrench in their already rocky romance. Did their relationship survive?
Spoiler warning: This article contains major spoilers for Season 1 of The Ultimatum: Queer Love.
Netflix’s spin-off of the messy The Ultimatum series delivers drama on all fronts.
With an LGBTQ+ cast of five couples consisting of women and non-binary folks, The Ultimatum: Queer Love explores the tense dynamic of being on two completely different pages in a relationship.
And for partners Lexi Goldberg and Rae Cheung-Sutton, fellow cast member Vanessa Papa throws a wrench in their already rocky romance. Are Lexi and Rae still together today or did the show mark the end of their relationship?
How did Lexi and Rae from ‘The Ultimatum: Queer Love’ meet?
Lexi and Rae’s love story began as many modern relationships do: via dating app.
The Ultimatum: Queer Love stars met over three years ago (at the time of filming) on Bumble and began their in-person romance in West Hollywood, but now Lexi is ready to take her relationship with Rae to the next level.
The USC alum revealed she is “130 percent” ready to marry her partner, and she says on the show, “I love Rae more than I think I ever will love another person… I really want to marry this girl.” However, Rae is still uncertain. And that’s where the experiment comes into play.
After Lexi issued an ultimatum to her partner, the couple’s bond was quickly shaken when Rae and self-proclaimed influencer Vanessa became the second pairing for the reality series’ trial marriage.
Are Lexi and Rae from ‘The Ultimatum: Queer Love’ still together?
The test of each couple’s strength began in the fourth episode of The Ultimatum: Queer Love when the trial marriages began. And Rae pairing up with Vanessa leaves Lexi feeling incredibly uneasy.
With Lexi thinking Vanessa went on the show for the wrong reasons, you can imagine her shock when she discovers her partner became intimate with her.
“I look back on that, and I just don’t think that was an okay situation,” Vanessa told StyleCaster of Lexi’s reaction to finding out she and Rae had slept together. “But I think she was pissed, you know? And this is the girl she loves, the girl she wants to marry, and here’s a girl she doesn’t like, and I had this experience with her.”
While Rae’s perceived betrayal of her partner Lexi occurred quite some time ago, it appears Lexi is unable to let it go.
However, in Episode 9, they stop to seriously look at their future together. And they both propose to each other and they get engaged.
So, where does that leave Lexi and Rae today? While they are ecstatic about their engagement and their future at the end of the finale, their current day status is revealed at the end of The Ultimatum: Queer Love reunion. And as of today, Lexi and Rae are no longer together.
The Ultimatum: Queer Love is now streaming on Netflix.
