Too Hot to Handle made its highly anticipated return to screens to put 10 singletons to the test late in 2022. In this dating series created with the goal of fostering real connections between the contestants, Sebastian Melrose was one of the hand-picked intriguing personalities presented as one of the season’s cast members. Now, because you all want to know more about him, here is a tell-all including his age, family background, height, Too Hot To Handle journey, and more.
Sebastian Melrose On Netflix’s Too Hot To Handle
Soon after Too Hot To Handle returned to screens for season four of its celibacy social experiment on 7 December 2022, contestant Sebastian “Seb” made headlines on several media outlets after he spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk about disappointing his co-stars with his frequent rule breaks.
As always, contestants on this show are expected to live with the celibacy rule. Throughout their stay in the villa, they are not permitted to kiss, there is no heavy petting, sex, or solo-self-gratification of any kind allowed. Any of these rules disregarded by anyone of the contestants meant the cash prize of $200,000 would be in jeopardy.
But, despite the risk, Sebastian revealed, that he and Kayla Richart shared a number of kisses, fondled each other, and even had sex. Of course, the rest of the cast was disappointed as the troublesome pair continued to be sexual even after Lana, the show’s host, doubled the fines. “Trying to resist Kayla is difficult”, Sebastian told the said outlet.
So clearly, just as Sebastian puts it, he did bring more than some spice to the game in the Caribbean villa.
Sebastian Melrose Dating Status
So, are Sebastian Melrose and Kayla Richart still together? What is Sebastian’s dating status? Here’s what we know.
Sebastian was momentarily distracted by bombshell Flavia. But, he, fortunately, did not kiss her in spite of the free pass. This, as a result, still saved his chance with Kayla, a 22-year-old fashion model from Los Angeles, California.
In the show, fans have seen both Sebastian and Kayla go through their fair share of emotional as well as physical highs and lows. But despite this, these two do not seem to be still happily involved. At least their online presence tells so. However, neither Sebastian nor Kayla has either confirmed or denied it as of writing. But then, as of late 2022, they did follow each other on social media. They even often dropped flirty comments on each other’s pictures. So, even in case they are no more romantically engaged, they should be at least on friendly terms.
Or, maybe the long distance between them made it impossible for them to continue their TV romance IRL.
