Are Too Hot to Handle Season 6 Couple Katherine and Charlie Still Together After the Show? They Reveal
Charlie expressed his genuine feelings for Katherine, saying, "If you actually look at what the show's about, we won."
Viewers of Too Hot to Handle might have expected Charlie Jeer and Katherine LaPrell to reach the final two, given their adventurous experiences on the show. However, Faulise and Jabou showed more growth after filming.
In the Season 6 finale, which aired on Netflix on August 2, Katherine and Charlie placed second, with Bri Balram and DeMari Davis taking the top spot.
Charlie and Katherine: Winning love over $150K
Even though Charliw Jeer and Katherine LaPrell didn’t win the $150,000 grand prize on Too Hot to Handle, they told PEOPLE they left the show with something even more valuable: a strong relationship.
Reflecting on their experience, Charlie mentioned how much they both have changed. Initially uninterested in a relationship, he found a deep connection with Katherine, describing their bond as complementary, like Yin and Yang.
Charlie emphasized that their relationship's value outweighs the competition, aligning with the show's message. Katherine added that Charlie’s constant affection and daily communication have strengthened their trust. She firmly believes in his loyalty and feels secure in their relationship.
Rediscovering love: Katherine and Charlie's serendipitous reconnection
It’s surprising that Katherine and Charlie, despite their villa experiences, managed to place second. Initially, they both explored connections with others—Charlie with Lucy Syed, and Katherine with Louis Russell, a late addition from season 5.
Over time, Katherine realized her chemistry was with Louis. However, a significant workshop where participants shared personal details rekindled the initial spark between her and Charlie. They were both surprised to remember their early attraction.
Katherine felt the workshop was magical and was pleased it was recorded. She discovered her preference for Charlie during the exercise. Charlie found their eye contact one of the most intimate moments he’s experienced and felt that investing time in their relationship was truly special.
Charlie and Katherine: No regrets, just real love beyond the cameras
When asked if they regretted pursuing other partners first, Charlie and Katherine both responded negatively.
Charlie explained to Dexter that regret is pointless if you're content with your current situation. He believes everything happened for a reason and focuses on being present rather than dwelling on past decisions. Katherine agreed, noting that their story wouldn’t be as meaningful if she had regrets or wished to change anything.
Even though the show ended, Katherine and Charlie decided to meet outside the villa to ensure their feelings were genuine. Charlie admitted he was hesitant to make any declarations on camera, preferring to explore their connection in real life. They parted ways at the end of the show but later met in person to see if their relationship could develop further. Charlie recently flew to L.A. to see Katherine, feeling nervous but hopeful about their future.
