The Circle Season 7 unfolded with unexpected developments, notably the surprising relationship between contestants Jadejha Edwards and Darian Holt, who appear to be enjoying a romantic connection as of 2025. This revelation came into focus after Darian was abruptly blocked by his so-called best friend in the game, Kevin Fernandez. Although Darian’s exit from the popular Netflix series was stunning, he ultimately triumphed when he shared a heartfelt kiss with Jadejha in her Circle apartment. As anticipation builds for Season 8, it’s worth reflecting on their whirlwind romance.
Generally, The Circle is not known for tumultuous romances, largely because many contestants only meet face-to-face during the finale. Operating behind screens, participants form bonds, deceive one another, and shift loyalties in pursuit of victory in this social media challenge. Flirtation and attraction often serve as strategies for contestants seeking to forge alliances. However, the true identity behind the profile pictures is frequently veiled in mystery. Notably, both Jadejha and Darian chose to present their authentic selves during the game.
Darian’s Feelings for Jadejha
Genuine Intentions from Day One
Darian entered The Circle as a sincere middle school teacher determined to remain authentic in his gameplay while vying for the cash prize. He quickly became a fan favorite, albeit lacking the strategic cunning exhibited by other competitors, such as the eventual betrayer Kevin. Darian showcased a trusting nature, often accepting his fellow contestants at face value without probing their true intentions. Unfortunately, this led to a dramatic downfall when Kevin eliminated him midway through the competition.
This pivotal moment transpired during the influencer deliberation in Episode 9, where Kevin and Gianna (portrayed by twins Nicky and Jojo Scarlotta) were given the task of blocking a player. Despite Darian’s unwavering loyalty, Kevin opted to send him home, influenced by dubious information suggesting Darian’s unreliability. This decision baffled viewers, especially since Kevin advanced to the finale alongside Madelyn, who had demonstrated her own tendencies toward deceit.
Despite this betrayal, Jadejha and Darian cultivated a notable connection throughout their time in The Circle. Their relationship showcased a unique depth unlike many others seen in previous seasons, culminating in a playful “Circle marriage”that suggested their bond was genuine and meaningful.

Jadejha’s Strategic Gameplay
Throughout the game, Jadejha consistently outperformed Darian, although their romantic involvement remained central to their strategies. Opting for a more reserved approach, she actively avoided the influencer spotlight, inadvertently placing her closely-knit allies, including Darian, at risk. Ultimately, Jadejha was blocked just before the finale by Madelyn, who recognized her as a formidable competitor. Madelyn’s cunning was pivotal not only in Jadejha’s exit but also in securing Darian’s elimination.

The nature of Jadejha and Darian’s relationship transformed, evolving from a tactical partnership to a heartfelt romance as the competition progressed. Following Darian’s unexpected ousting by Kevin, he had the unique opportunity to meet a contestant face-to-face. Although an emotional confrontation with Kevin may have been expected, Darian opted instead to visit Jadejha’s apartment, where their chemistry became undeniably strong.
The couple shared a tender kiss on Jadejha’s couch, leaving her momentarily speechless. While anger regarding Kevin’s betrayal simmered beneath the surface, Jadejha tactfully redirected her focus toward competing against Madelyn and Kevin, ultimately securing their trust as the finale approached. Even though Jadejha did not claim victory, she found something far more valuable—a genuine connection with Darian.

A Love Story Continues
Jadejha and Darian surprised fans by taking their relationship beyond the show’s confines, cementing their bond after filming concluded. They officially unveiled their romance after all episodes of The Circle Season 7 had aired, with the new year heralding an exciting announcement of their engagement. “Here’s to forever with you,”Jadejha wrote on social media, alongside an engagement ring emoji.
“Here’s to forever with you.”
The engagement announcement was accompanied by photos of Darian kneeling with a heart-shaped arrangement of roses behind him. Fans expressed their joy in the comments, with one stating, “Beautiful news from a gorgeous couple. I’m so excited for y’all’s happily ever after! Congrats!!”Another chimed in, “Somebody pass me some tissue!”
Even though Jadejha and Darian didn’t win the cash prize from The Circle, they emerged as a couple. Interestingly, the show dedicated a season to dating, yet most contestants failed to maintain any lasting relationships. Amidst the turmoil of shows like Love Is Blind and Too Hot To Handle, it seems that The Circle may indeed be the best platform for nurturing enduring love.
The Circle is available for streaming on Netflix.
