Meet Keith Manley, Ari Lennox Rumored Boyfriend
It was June 2022 when Keith Manley first appeared with Ari Lennox at a wedding in San Diego. Sharing their IG pics from the day — one of which included the duo hands bound in a loving grasp — Ari sparked then the rumors that she’d found a new boo.
The news about the two came almost 7 months after Ari admitted that she was “unlucky” in love on an ep of If Not For My Girls. “I’m just bored,” Ari Lennox explained at the time. “I’m bored! Or I’ll find someone incredibly interesting and then like, the s*x is terrible. And I’m sorry, but that’s important. Or you’re scared of my dog! Like, grow up! He’s the sweetest thing,” she added.
Prior to this, the soul singer from Washington D.C was rumored to have romantic relationships with rappers J.Cole and Moneybagg. Also, before rising to face she once had a longtime boyfriend.
MAFS: Keith Manley And Iris Caldwell’s Relationship
Keith Manley was paired with Iris Caldwell on season 9 of Married at First Sight. Given their similarities in terms of their backgrounds and religious beliefs, the two initially seemed like a good match for each other.
However, Iris was immature and had a lack of experience in love that extended beyond the bedroom. This wore Keith down and ultimately even though Iris wanted to stay together on Decision Day, Keith Manley decided to walk away.
The temporary husband-wife then went on to get an official divorce in late 2020.
Later, it was also revealed that Iris didn’t give her virginity to Keith during their marriage. According to Iris, Keith didn’t open and close enough to build up the intimacy she wanted. As for Keith, he felt like it wasn’t his job to take her virginity. Moreover, given Iris’ immaturity, Keith just got tired of it all towards the end.
For those who missed Iris on MAFS, she was a non-profit program coordinator who chose to remain a virgin until marriage. Religion played a big role in her life, and she wanted a husband who believed in traditional gender roles.
