Perfect Match alum Francesca Farago has announced her engagement to her partner Jesse Sulivan. Francesca is a reality star and Instagram influencer, who rose to fame by starring in a couple of Netflix dating series, including Too Hot To Handle, Love Is Blind, and more recently, she featured in the flag-off season of Perfect Match. Although Francesca never found her soulmate on any of these shows, she got a lot of fame and has never looked back.
Francesca Farago’s Reality TV Stint
Francesca made her reality debut in 2020 during the first season of Too Hot To Handle. There, she coupled up with Harry Jowsey, and they went on to date on and off for nearly a year before calling it quits. She later sparked dating rumors with Love Is Blind alum Damian Powers when she arrived with him for Love Is Blind: After The Altar season 1.
Francesca and Damian’s bizarre romance reignited when they both appeared on Netflix’s Perfect Match, which premiered in February. The two got involved in a messy triangle with Dom Gabriel, leaving the latter heartbroken. It also cemented Francesca’s status as the show’s early villain. Although Francesca also paired up with a third contestant on the show, she ended up leaving the villa as she entered — single.
However, barely a few months after the show ended, Francesca left fans stunned when she revealed her engagement to her partner Jesse Sullivan. The pair had previously dated before getting back together. The news triggered massive reactions from fans, with most having mixed feelings about the engagement. Here is what they have been saying.
Francesca Farago Found Her Perfect Match
Francesca Faraga was one of the original cast members of Netflix’s Perfect Match and quickly stamped herself as one of the main attractions on the show due to her tendency to court controversy and the fact that she paired up with three contestants during her time in the villa.
The 30-year-old reality star first paired up with Dom Gabriel, who won season 1 of Perfect Match with Georgia Hassarati. Francesca caused controversy when she brutally left Dom for her “friend” Damian. Francesca’s insatiable thirst for drama led her to pursue a romance with Abbey Humphreys.
However, she quickly returned to Damian after being dumped by Abbey for making out with Kariselle Snow. Francesca events walked out of the show single after she broke up with Damian. After leaving the show, Francesca hinted at reuniting with her ex, which eventually proved true. In a March 2023 interview with Tudum, Francesca confirmed she was back with her ex, Jesse. She said,
“I ended up getting home and messaging someone I had already known. We connected right away, and we’ve been really happy together ever since. I’m in a super solid place in my relationship right now.”
Following the announcement of their engagement, some fans quickly pointed out how they perfectly fit each other. One such fan, Delicious_Tap_5971, took to Reddit to start a thread about Francesca’s recent engagement. Despite not being liked by many viewers, the Instagram influencer’s engagement still excited fans. One particular user, mamastolo, commented,
“I really dislike Francesca, but she and Jesse seem really good together and happy. I honestly hope this is it for her. Really cute!”
Perfect Match Fans Think The Relationship Might Not Last
As the conversations on the Reddit thread progressed, an intense debate broke out between the fans. Some Perfect Match fans quickly pointed out that Francesca’s relationship with Jesse might not last. This group of fans highlighted how Francesca had previously talked about wanting an open relationship. The fans also noted how this would certainly work against the couple.
The Reddit users also believe that Francesca’s behavior during her time on Perfect Match points to someone who revels in the attention she gets from admirers. Although nearly all the contestants showed interest in her during the show, she welcomed their advances. On this basis, it was easy for many users to conclude that she would have problems with the type of commitment required to make a monogamous marriage work. While reacting to the thread, one user, Background-Night-322, said,
“Ya true. I just feel like Francesca probably doesn’t understand the meaning of engagement. If they get married, that’s even worse. The whole point of both is to have a commitment to one another. Francesca so far hasn’t shown she is interested in that.”
Some Perfect Match fans also mentioned how Jesse had previously said no to the idea of having an open relationship with Francesca. They revealed that Jesse had also emphasized that he and Francesca are in a 100% monogamous relationship. He also dismissed suggestions that he supported her desire to have an open relationship.
Francesca has undoubtedly proven to be a magnet for controversy. She must handle negativity to build a peaceful home with her fiance and his child. It’ll be interesting to see how she manages it. Perfect Match fans hope the two can stand the test of time, but there is still some skepticism.
