Why did Flavia Laos Urbina and Joao Coronel split? ‘THTH’ star reveals she ‘needs time to meet next boyfriend’
TKCA 1ZZ, TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS: 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6 contestant Flavia Laos Urbina entered the retreat midway through the season to shake things up. Despite giving all the men a chance, she quickly realized her strongest connection was with Joao Coronel.
Their relationship seemed solid until the final episode when Joao ended things with a song he wrote and performed for Flavia, asking if their time was up. This breakup came after Flavia showed interest in Jalen Olomu-Brown, another late arrival, causing Joao to struggle with trust issues.
Talking of their split, Joao said, "Flavia and I have been rock solid since day three but this was the most mature, respectful and honest way this could've ended."
"I knew I wasn't gonna be able to talk it out and be honest. That's why I sang a breakup song — really I'm sorry about that. From now on, I will look at the person in the eyes and I will not run away from disappointment," he added.
In a recent Instagram Q&A session, Flavia was asked what she learned from her time on the Netflix dating show.
"Just kidding, mmm friendship I have really cool friends that will have my back no matter what. Also I have to take my time to meet my next boyfriend/husband/dad of my children so I don't get the wrong one," she wrote in her Instagram Story.
