Here’s Whether Too Hot to Handle’s Nathan & Holly Are Still Together After Costing the Cast $30K+
Warning: Too Hot to Handle season 3 spoilers ahead. Since the most recent season ended,, fans have had one question: are Nathan and Holly still together after Too Hot to Handle season 3 or did their relationship end after they left the retreat (and Lana.)
Nathan Soan Mngomezulu and Holly Scarfone are two of 12 contestants on Too Hot to Handle season 3, which premiered on Netflix on January 19, 2022. Too Hot to Handle, which first premiered in 2020, is reality TV dating competition where 10 to 15 men and women spend four weeks at a retreat in a tropical location with the hopes of breaking their cycles of meaningless flings to form long-lasting relationships. At stake is also a $100,000 grand prize ($200,000 in season 3) awarded to the contestant who has changed the most while in the retreat. The prize s determined by Lana, a cone-shaped, virtual assistant who watches the contestants and forbids any form of sexual contact—including kissing and self-gratification. If a contestant is caught breaking Lana’s rules, the prize fund is reduced by thousands—and sometimes tens of thousands—of dollars.

In an interview with Oprah magazine in 2020, creator Laura Gibson revealed that the show is inspired by an episode of Seinfeld titled “The Contest,” in which the characters try to resist masturbating for a cash prize. “None of them can actually do it, and so they actually all lose the money. And I thought, ‘There’s a TV format in that,'” she said. “Why don’t we get some of the hottest people on planet to try and see if they can hold themselves back for cash?” She continued, . “As an older person, I knew that I would always go for the cash, but I know that my 19-year-old self would have gone for the sex.”
Creator Louise Peet also noted that Lana was a mix of Ellen DeGeneres and Mary Poppins. “We think of Lana as Mary Poppins meets Ellen DeGeneres. She’s also a bit of a super nanny as well,” she said. “Lana was their love guru, Lana was their guidance, Lana was their friend.” Gibson added, “When I heard the idea I thought, ‘I can’t believe this hasn’t been done before.’ We’re always being watched and listened to. It felt so modern and youthful to have an AI robot that was their love guru.”

Despite the breakup, Holly told Us Weekly that she has “no regrets” about her relationship with Nathan and how much money they spent. “Of course I cared about the money,” she said. “I didn’t come to do the experience for money, but I did wanna respect everyone around me. But, at the same time, I knew I had met someone just incredible and [who] held a special place in my heart, you know what I mean? And I felt like it would’ve been a disservice to myself to not really explore that. … I feel like I would’ve had regrets if I just let time pass and [did] not harness every moment.”
As fo what attracted her to Nathan, Holly told Us Weekly, “I feel like sometimes you just know — like, it’s really hard for me to pinpoint one thing. Besides the fact that he’s just stunning, he’s beautiful, he’s an alpha. His personality is incredible, and he’s so intelligent too, but it was just a feeling of, like, I don’t know — I just saw him. The best I can describe it is like magnets — almost, like, I was just instantly attracted to him.”
In an interview with Capital FM, Nathan confirmed that he and Lolly have seen each other at least once in London after they finished filming Too Hot to Handle. “We had a great time on the show, we had a great time off the show, she came to London, we did our thing. We put a pin on things just because of COVID so I can fly to the States to go see her, but we’ll see where we are this year,” he said. “I’m flying back to London tomorrow, I’m pretty sure she’s coming so we’ll just wait and see.” Holly added, “Me and Nathan, we have an incredible story, I mean, he’s an incredible man and I’m just so blessed that out of all the experiences, we have an incredible season.”
Nathan and Holly were two of the 10 original contestants on Too Hot to Handle season 3.

Nathan completed the workshop and reunited with Holly the next day. In the finale, Nathan and Holly told each other “I love you.”
