'Perfect Match’ star Justin Assada finally reveals why he's absent from finale
TULUM, MEXICO: Ending a relationship is always a difficult and challenging experience. For Justin Assada, the situation seemed to be even more heartbreaking, as he was conspicuously absent from the 'Perfect Match' Season 2 finale, while all the other single contestants made an appearance.
Justin's absence from the reunion raised questions among fans. Host Nick Lachey briefly mentioned about Justin's absence during the finale by saying, "Justin is not here with us tonight, and I know I speak for everyone when I say that he is definitely missed."
The reason for Justin's absence can be traced back to his breakup with Elys Hutchinson, who chose to match with Bryton Constantin instead. While Justin and Elys had a strong emotional connection, Elys also felt a physical spark with Bryce.
When Elys split with Justin, he chose to walk away without hearing her full explanation. It looks like their breakup was the reason why Justin decided not to return for the finale sit-down with Elys, Bryton, and the rest of the cast.
Before the highly anticipated finale aired on Netflix, Justin took to TikTok to provide more insight into his relationship with Elys on 'Perfect Match' Season 2 and why they ultimately decided to part ways.
Justin expressed his admiration for Elys and acknowledged her decision to pursue a connection with someone else. He mentioned that he had undergone therapy prior to filming, which he believed had prepared him for the emotional rollercoaster of the show.
In the TikTok video Justin revealed that he "made a conscious effort to walk off" the show after Elys ended things with him. Despite the challenges they faced, Justin expressed no regrets about his experience on the show. He also mentioned that he briefly tried to explore a connection with someone else before leaving, but it didn't pan out as he had hoped.
Why did 'Perfect Match' Season 2 stars Justin Assada and Elys Hutchinson split?
In the fifth episode of 'Perfect Match' Season 2, Elys and Justin were paired together after Elys's initial connection with Harry Jowsey fizzled out due to the arrival of Jessica Vestal.
Justin was drawn to Elys right away, showering her with compliments and expressing his belief that she could be the one for him. He found her to be the epitome of beauty and was hopeful that they could potentially be a perfect match.
As Justin fully committed to his relationship with Elys, she remained uncertain and unwilling to fully commit. When Elys ultimately chose to pursue a relationship with Bryton Constantin instead, she knew she had to have a difficult conversation with Justin.
His heartbreak was evident as he expressed feeling betrayed and blindsided by her decision. Justin expressed his feelings of vulnerability and hurt, exclaiming that he had invested all of his emotions into their relationship.
With a heavy heart, Justin made the tough decision to walk away from the relationship, feeling as though he had been played and left with nothing but the memories of what could have been.
Are Elys Hutchinson and Bryton Constantin still together?
After a conversation with Bryton at a women's mixer, Elys couldn't stop thinking about him and decided to end her relationship with Justin Assada to be with Bryton. She felt excited and nervous about their future together, but their romance was short-lived as Bryton is now dating Jade Gentile, a professional wrestler known as Jazmyn Nyx. Their love for each other is clear from their social media posts and the fact that Jade has a special section on her Instagram profile just for Bryton.
