In the fifth episode, viewers learned that Brittany and Leo were not among the six couples chosen by producers to continue their journey in Mexico. A card explained, “They took their own trip to Mexico and broke off their engagement weeks later.” This marked a first for the series, as it was the first time a couple was entirely omitted from the narrative after an engagement.

Show producer Chris Coelen explained the decision to cut the couple, stating that they believed the other couples were more likely to follow through with their engagements. “When we make that decision…we felt that the six couples we did end up following were the ones that felt more, on a gut level, had a real shot to say ‘I do,’” Coelen shared. However, he noted that he believed Leo and Brittany could still be part of the reunion.

Since the show, Brittany and Leo have opened up about their experiences, sharing insights into what led to their split. They broke off their engagement in Miami after the show, highlighting the challenges they faced behind the scenes.
