Charlie Jeer and Katherine LaPrell faced plenty of ups and downs during their time on Too Hot to Handle Season 6.
When they entered Lana’s retreat, these two had eyes for two different castmates.
Initially, Charlie paired with Lucy Syed, while Katherine paired with Louis Russell.
Charlie wasn’t thrilled that Lucy wanted to play it safe and not go wild, spending the originally allocated $250,000 prize fund by breaking Lana’s rules.
Meanwhile, Katherine’s attraction to Louis turned out to be skin-deep, and she realized she was looking for something more.
So, after a retreat exercise that paired Charlie and Katherine together, the two realized they had some real chemistry.
Charlie and Katherine partnered up mid-season
They decided to go for it and broke it off with their respective partners, Lucy and Louis.
Their decision turned out to be the right one because Charlie and Katherine’s connection grew so deeply that they made it all the way to the final, going up against the ultimate winning couple, Brianna Balram and Demari Davis.
Despite not walking away from the retreat with any cash winnings, Katherine and Charlie left, fully intending to take their relationship to the next level.
So, are Charlie and Katherine still together? Their fans will be happy to hear that they are, indeed, still a couple.
Charlie and Katherine are giving long-distance a try
Speaking with Us Weekly, Charlie, 21, revealed that he officially asked Katherine, 27, to be his (long-distance) girlfriend, and she accepted.
They’ve been splitting their time between Los Angeles and London, as Charlie shared with the outlet.
“Life’s been great. I’ve been out to L.A. twice to go and see her [and] she’s been over to Kent to see me [and] all my family.”
“We went on holiday to Amsterdam while she was over here as well, and … we spent loads of quality time together,” he added.
Charlie waited to ask Katherine to be his girlfriend because he wanted to get to know her “properly on the outside” before committing to anything serious.
Charlie heeded the advice of Too Hot to Handle’s intimacy coach, Brenden Durrell, who suggested he take things slowly.
It sounds as though things are pretty serious between Charlie and Katherine, too.
As the Kent, England native gushed, “I tell Kat I love her every day [and] she’ll tell me she loves me every day. Genuinely, I’m really happy with Kat.”
The Netflix star admits that he and Katherine aren’t in a rush, and living across the globe from each other has allowed them the “freedom to be individuals.”
Charlie reached out to Lucy to make amends ahead of the Too Hot to Handle Season 6 premiere
As far as Charlie’s relationship with Lucy, he says that they’ve left things on good terms.
Charlie reached out to Lucy shortly before Season 6 of Too Hot to Handle premiered.
He sent her a message stating, “I hope there’s no hard feelings. I hope you’re all good. If there’s literally anything that you want to talk to me about, you just let me know because I don’t want to do anything to make you look bad.”
Charlie is ‘really happy’ with his runner-up status
And as for losing out to Bri and Demari? Charlie says it’s all good.
“I think that, ultimately, me and Kat’s story was way too controversial for us to win.”
“No one was going to vote [for] Kat to win [after she] spent the most money, and no one was going to vote [for] me [when I] got the most girls,” he confessed.
Season 6 of Too Hot to Handle is currently streaming on Netflix.
