If there’s anything that Perfect Matchdoes well, it’s bringing exes back together for a messy onscreen reunion. Last season, Bachelor Nation’s Rachel Recchia and Clayton Echard were reunited (and even briefly reconciled…), while season 4 is forcing Too Hot to Handle alums Bri Balram and DeMari Davis back into each other’s orbit. But before we discuss a possible rekindling, now seems like a good time to review their history.
ICYMI, Bri and DeMari first met on season 6 of THTH (which was filmed in late 2023) and went on to win the whole show when they formed a genuine connection. The pair tried to keep their romance alive outside the villa, but after the season aired in August 2024, Bri and DeMari revealed that they’d decided to “take a break” and “separate for a little bit.”
As Bri explained to People, “We are still on our journey of BriMari,” later adding, “Marriage is something that I do want in my next partner that is long-term, which I hope is maybe DeMari.”
Eventually, the two did start their relationship back up again…only to split for a second time in February 2025, when Bri alleged that DeMari may have cheated on her in a TikTok posted on Valentine’s Day.
“In the month of February I cleared a fashion brand deal, received another ‘coming to you as a woman DM,’ buried my grandmother who was killed in my hometown,” she wrote, in part.
DeMari then hopped on camera to address the situation the next day, denying that he was unfaithful to Bri. “Sometimes the hardest thing in life to do is when you love somebody, when you love any thing is to know when it’s time to leave,” he said, in part, during his TikTok video shared the following day.
Given this…messy history between the pair, we’ll have to wait and see what happens next now that Marissa George has invited Bri into the villa. Oh and btw: If you’re wondering why Marissa brought DeMari’s ex in, her answer makes sense.
As she told Swooon, “I wasn’t worried about Bri entering the competition. I don’t know if they showed it, but I was wanting to bring another Black girl in there with me. So I was like, ‘Bring her in!’ and DeMari’s like, ‘Absolutely not.’”
She continued, “I didn’t know their history. I’ve never seen her on the TV show, either, so I didn’t know anything about them. Had I known, maybe I wouldn’t have pushed so hard. I just thought it would be fun, and I wasn’t concerned about whether DeMari would go back to her. He was pretty adamant about not wanting that.”
The first five episodes of Perfect Match season 4 are now streaming on Netflix.
