Fact Check: Are Isaac and Ruth from The Ultimatum: South Africa still together? 

The Ultimatum: South Africa introduced six couples to viewers, including Isaac and Ruth, who dated for two years. During their relationship, Ruth felt Isaac was unsure about marrying her, hence the former gave her boyfriend an ultimatum to either marry or move on.

On the Netflix show, both Ruth and Isaac were paired with new partners for a two-week trial marriage. Ruth chose Nolla and Isaac was paired with Khanya during this experiment. In episode 6, Ruth confessed to Nolla's original partner about sleeping with him, and when Isaac found out, he got into a physical argument with Nolla.

This was a shock to viewers of The Ultimatum: South Africa and strained Ruth and Isaac's connection. Isaac couldn't trust his girlfriend, and Ruth felt he was not serious about their relationship. They both were unable to establish trust and eventually parted ways after leaving the Netflix show, meaning they are no longer together.

Isaac and Ruth's relationship on The Ultimatum: South Africa

When The Ultimatum: South Africa contestant Nolla found out that Ruth broke their confidentiality and exposed that they were getting physical, Nolla decided to inform Isaac, who got angry and was disappointed with Ruth's actions. He claimed that Ruth didn't value their relationship, which is why she felt okay breaking his trust:

"I don't think someone who actually values their relationship at that level would be comfortable to do what Nolla and Ruth have been doing."

On The Ultimatum: South Africa episode 7, after the trial marriage ended, all contestants returned to their original partners. Ruth and Isaac got back together, but whenever they had a conversation, it would escalate into a heated argument. Despite Ruth apologizing, Isaac felt she was not sorry about her actions, but about how he found out.

Meanwhile, Ruth believed sleeping with Nolla was a choice she made, which is why she wouldn't apologize for it.

She confronted Isaac about kissing and cuddling with Khanya, implying he wasn't loyal either. Ruth was also upset that Isaac introduced his trial wife to his family members while he was temporarily with her, while Ruth had not met any of his family for the past two years. Ruth told the cameras during her confessional interview:

"One thing that p*ssed me the most I've been with you for two years. You've been with Khanya for two, three weeks. Already she has met someone from your family, which I have not."

Eventually, Isaac introduced Ruth to his sister Benedicte, cousin Joseph, and friend Moses.

In episode 8, titled The Last Dance, when Isaac's sister asked her brother why she never met his long-term girlfriend, Isaac said he was "busy" and couldn't rush a "life-changing decision."

Meanwhile, Ruth expressed her concern about Isaac's questionable behavior, his habits, and uncertainty when it comes to their relationship, she said:

"The only reason he did not want me or did not let me meet you guys is because he wasn't sure of me."

The Ultimatum: South Africa contestant shared he couldn't change himself completely for Ruth and the reason why they were getting into an argument was due to her demands. Isaac's friend told him that he wasn't ready for a relationship despite Ruth seeing a future with her boyfriend. Isaac said:

"Now I'm coming back to questioning stuff again. And I feel that has been the downfall of my relationship with Ruth. We keep going forward, then we go backward. There is just no solution here."

As mentioned before, the two ultimately parted ways.
