The Never Ever Mets couples

Among the seven couples, Shay and Josh have been together for 12 years and yet have never met before. OWN describes them as a “complicated relationship,” and also, Shay’s trust issues have been a concern for their current rough patch.

Dymond and Aaron H. met on Facebook, and they instantly hit it off. With many mutual upbringings and similar interests, they have become closer over the course of five years of dating. However, it hasn't been all smooth sailing since Dymond learned that Aaron has many female friends.

JoAnna “Jody” and Aaron J., with their similar artistic and creative interests, have been dating for nine months. Both of them are looking forward to the next stage of their relationship and strengthening their bond. Things might get heated with Jody’s s**ually open lifestyle and Aaron’s insecurities.

The Never Ever Mets features four more couples and their stories. They are Alexis and Dominique, Sandia and Chris, Millie and Gregg, and Sienna and Brandan. The couples will also get visits from their friends and family and discuss how their experience with their potential partner is going.
