There is no disputing that every relationship has its share of ups and downs, but things become more difficult when the parties involved have different ideas about what they want from the future. This is actually amply demonstrated in Netflix’s “The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On,” in which five couples try to work out their disagreements by seriously considering all the options. Kathryn “Kat” Shelton and Alex Chapman were two of them in season 2, so if you’re just interested in knowing more about them and where they are right now, we’ve got the information for you.
Kat and Alex’s The Ultimatum Journey
According to rumours, Travel Nurse Kat and Entrepreneur turned Software Sales Executive Alex met for the first time on Hinge in 2020, and they rather immediately fell in love. On October 22, they joyously chose to take their relationship official, and at many Halloween parties afterward, they seemed to have no qualms about introducing one another to the majority of their acquaintances. The fact that the latter later accompanied his companion on the road to realise their unshakeable goals of travelling, having new experiences, and accepting life’s numerous turns only strengthened them.
The stark differences in Kat and Alex’s personalities, nevertheless, eventually started to cause issues because they didn’t fit with how they really intended their lives to be in a few years. Although they both enjoy spontaneity and being outside, the rational second thought they needed more time, while the conflict-avoidant first made it plain she wanted to move to the next stage. He even went so far as to say that he needed someone to confront him rather than just give him the reins, not realising it would make her become obstinate and give him an ultimatum.
At one point in the series, Kat frankly lamented, “[Alex] never gives me a true response…,” before adding, “I don’t want to go three or four years and still be like, what’s going on? I prefer to know right away. Then, by saying, “We are this fun, adventure-loving couple who are skiing, surfing, and travelling all over the place,” he essentially confirmed her case. Since we’ve been so busy, I’ve been unable to pop the question. However, it turns out that he is not afraid of marriage in general, especially after helping Roxanne Kaise, his trial wife, realise the advantages of marriage the way he has always viewed them owing to his parents.
The only concerns Alex had were whether or not he was personally ready for forever and whether or not he thought she was the one after realising Kat did challenge him in her own quiet manner after they reconnected. She further demonstrated that she was prepared by making it clear that Alex must express or demonstrate his love for her, giving him a decision to choose. She had finally learnt to speak her thoughts during her trial marriage to Antonio Mattei. “Once you make [this ultimate choice], you’re committed. You must go all-in and continue to go all-in. It’s make or break,” he added later, implying that he was still unsure about his actual course of action.
According to what we can gather, Kat and Alex have undoubtedly resolved the most of their problems, allowing them to not only remain together but also become engaged and make plans for their future together. Although neither of these North Carolina residents has officially confirmed or denied this as of this writing, their social media accounts seem to support this theory. Both of their feeds continue to be filled with images from their shared experiences, and they even follow one other’s closest friends and family members. Therefore, even if the exact nature of this Travel Nurse and Software Sales Executive’s relationship is currently unclear, we have high hopes that they have remained together.
