The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On Season 3 has arrived — and there are six new couples looking to enter the experiment and exit relationship limbo. 

Each pair is on the verge of marriage or a breakup. One person, who’s locked in and ready to get hitched, issues an ultimatum to their partner who has doubts. Over the next eight weeks, these couples will part ways to enter “trial marriages” with other people in the experiment. In the end, the participants will have three choices: will they commit to the partner they entered the experiment with? Will they choose someone new? Or will they leave The Ultimatum single?

Nick and Vanessa Lachey return as the hosts of this emotional journey, guiding the couples as they navigate both their old and new relationships. Nick and Vanessa know a thing or two about the situation that the couples are in — Vanessa had once issued an ultimatum to Nick after five years of dating.

Before the breakups and the shake-ups unfold, get to know the six couples in The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On Season 3 below. Want to find out who’s still together? Head over to the status update to see where all the couples stand after the reunion.

About

Since meeting on a dating app almost three years ago, Zaina and J.R. are synced in many ways, but one area they don’t align on is marriage. For J.R., his reservation comes from his past relationship history — and because of that, he wants to be absolutely certain before taking the next step. Following his experience in the Ultimatum experiment, J.R. is competing in Perfect Match Season 3, streaming now.
