Lexi Goldberg appeared in The Ultimatum: Queer Love season 1, and it's time for an update on the popular cast member. Lexi issued the ultimatum to her then-girlfriend Raelyn "Rae" Cheung-Sutton in The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On's first spinoff. Joining them on the show were four other queer couples: Mildred Woody and Tiff Der, Aussie Chao and Sam Marks, Vanessa Papa and Xander Boger, and Yoly Rojas and Mal Wright. The season aired on Netflix from late May 2023 to early June 2023, as all the episodes were released in a short window.

The Ultimatum: Queer Love season 1 turned out well for some of the couples on the show. However, some have split after the fact. Yoly and Mal left engaged, but by the time of the reunion, which was filmed in January 2023, they had broken up. Tiff and Mildred also left the experience engaged, but Tiff was the victim of domestic violence,...

Yoly Rojas was featured on Netflix's The Ultimatum: Queer Love season 1. She and her girlfriend Mal Wright came onto the show after Yoly issued Mal the ultimatum. Their relationship was at a crossroads, as the pair came on the show to determine if they were right for each other. The Ultimatum: Queer Love season 1 ran from late May 2023 to early June 2023, as most of the episodes were released close together. The show was likely filmed in mid to late 2022, which means it has been almost two years since The Ultimatum viewers caught up with Yoly.

Joining Yoly and Mal on The Ultimatum: Queer Love season 1 were four other couples: Xander Boger and Vanessa Papa, Tiff Der and Mildred Bustillo, Sam Marks and Aussie Chau, and Rae-Cheung-Sutton & Lexi Goldberg.

The Ultimatum: Queer Love season 1 was filled with twists and turns, but after the season finale and shocking reunion aired, its time to talk about where the cast members are now. The hit Netflix reality TV series was revolutionary in featuring five female and non-binary couples, but it still followed the structure of the inaugural season of The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On. One partner in each relationship issued an ultimatum to their respective partners, and the results were explosive.

The five pairs introduced in The Ultimatum: Queer Love were Sam Marks and Aussie Chau, Lexi Goldberg and Rae Cheung-Sutton, Vanessa Papa and Xander Boger, Tiff Der and Mildred Woody, and Yoly Rojas and Mal Wright. While some trial marriage pairs made palpable connections, like the chemistry between Yoly and Xander, others stained their relationships by simply hooking up, like Vanessa and Rae. However, tea was spilled at the reunion...

The final installment and reunion of The Ultimatum: Queer Love premiered in June 2023, and there's curiosity surrounding whether one of the pairs, Sam Marks and Aussie Chau, is still together. While there was plenty of love between the pair, Aussie's selfishness and inability to engage meaningfully with a partner made it difficult for Sam to take them seriously. Many of Aussie's issues and past traumas were brought up in their trial marriage with Mildred Woody. Seeing that another partner had difficulty with Aussie's tendencies empowered Sam to adopt a new persona that challenged Aussie when they misbehaved.

Four of the five original couples ended the finale engaged, with Xander Boger and Vanessa Papa as the only couple that decided to part ways. Despite her intense connection with Xander, Yoly Rojas accepted Mal Wright's proposal. Lexi Goldberg and Rae Cheung-Sutton, Tiff Der and Mildred Woody, and Sam and Aussie also ended the finale engaged.
