Fans of The Circle have something new to celebrate as Season 7 stars Darian Holt and Jadejha Edwards have taken their relationship to the next level.
The couple, whose romance blossomed during their time on Netflix’s hit reality competition, announced their engagement.
The pair, both members of the Divine Nine—Holt of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and Edwards of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.—had us caught up in their undeniable chemistry on the show. While their journey in The Circle didn’t end with the $100,000 prize, it led to something far more valuable: a lifelong partnership.

Holt and Edwards’ relationship began on The Circle, where contestants communicated exclusively through a social media-style platform. Their bond got deeper after Holt’s elimination when he visited Edwards in person, leading to an on-screen kiss that left fans swooning. The chemistry was so palpable that viewers quickly dubbed them the season’s “real winners.”
Though the game’s twists kept them from making it to the Final 5 together, their love story has flourished post-show.
Since The Circle, the couple has shared glimpses of their life together on social media, like announcing that Holt moved to Houston to be with Edwards. Their relationship has become an inspiring example of finding genuine connections in unexpected places.
With their engagement, Holt and Edwards have officially proven that love can indeed be the ultimate win—even in a game designed around strategy and deception.
