Meet the Cast of 'The Ultimatum' Season 3
Meet this season's batch of couples on the brink of either marriage or moving on.

Netflix's divisive reality show The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On is back for round three (minus the spin-offs The Ultimatum: Queer Love and The Ultimatum: South Africa). Hosted by the Lacheys, the sister series to Love is Blind puts couples through an "experiment" even more prone to drama than its predecessor. Throughout each season, the show's couples break up, move in with another cast member in a "trial marriage," and then return to their original partner, before deciding whether to get engaged or permanently end things. Each of The Ultimatum's seasons has raised the bar on ethically questionable decision-making in dating shows.
For season 3, the series turned to the influencer capital of the world to find its cast of exceptionally attractive, Coachella-going, matrimony-contemplating couples. The L.A.-based cast is full of Instagram models, creatives, Scorpios, and even another Nick and Vanessa. Read on to meet the cast of The Ultimatum season 3.

Who Gave the Ultimatum? Zaina
Content creator Zaina, 32, and personal trainer J.R., 33, met on a dating app three years ago and eventually made the big step of living together. However, they're of different minds when it comes to marriage. For J.R., the hesitation stems from his relationship history; having been married once before and cheated on, he wants to be absolutely sure before making his next trip down the aisle.
