The Later Daters Is The Golden Bachelorette Without the Drama! Here’s Which Couples Are Still Together from the Show

Suzanne and Avery

63-year-old optometrist Suzanne Doty came into the show looking for love once more after losing her husband of 27 years. “Suzanne found what many people in their lives never find, which is this one great love,” coach Logan Ury said in Episode 1. “And so, for Suzanne, it’s really going to be about understanding that maybe what she’s looking for now is more of companionship or a travel partner.”

She found that connection in a 59-year-old financial adviser named Avery—even though there were red flags early on, he roots for Alabama’s football team, and she roots for Georgia. But with Avery willing to go with her to a Georgia game, it seemed like that wasn’t going to be the big deal she thought it would be. And though Suzanne went on other blind dates, in the end, she could not stop thinking about Avery.

By the end of the show, the two had been seeing each other for two months and shared that though they were open to marriage, they were not going to rush. “We’re just taking it one day at a time,” Avery said. “We’re just going to see where it goes. And I think that takes a lot of pressure off of both of us and so far, it’s been working.”

There’s been no update about their relationship, for better or worse, which makes us think that they are probably still together, and also that Netflix must be planning something. It’s a little suspicious how everyone is keeping these relationship updates under wraps, isn’t it? All Suzanne has said post-filming is that she remains “very good friends” with the men she didn’t pursue on the show. Suspicious indeed.

Anise and Willie

Dr. Anise Mastin might have been married three times in her life, but she had also been single for almost 20 years by the time we met her in The Later Daters. And it seems like she found just the match for her in 55-year-old Government K-9 Specialist Willie Cooper.

Ironically, after Anise went on a few dates that just didn’t work out, producers asked Anise’s daughter, Dwayna, to pick a blind date for her mother. She picked Willie Cooper Jr., without asking her mother for any guidance, and it was clear daughter knows her mom best. The two were smitten from the beginning, but also really honest as they apparently decided there was no time for secrets if they wanted to make the relationship work.

There are no real clues on social media that conclusively point to whether they are still together to this day or whether they broke up, but they seem to have dated for at least a few months after the show’s filming concluded, which gives credence to the idea that they’re still together and just keeping things private. This again, also seems to suggest that maybe Netflix is indeed hoping people are interested enough in these answers to give us some sort of a reunion later on. It’s worked for a lot of their other reality offerings, so why not?
