The fourth season of Temptation Island has finished, which means audiences got another season’s worth of one of the messiest shows on television. For the uninitiated, Temptation Island follows would-be stable couples on a trip to a tropical island where each member of said couple is courted by several hot strangers. The singular motive of these singles to break up the couple, or at least, be tempting. It’s certainly one way to test your relationship, which is exactly what Iris Jardiel and Luke Wechselberger, two cast members on the current season, decided to do. But did they withstand the island’s temptations?

Their Instagram accounts didn’t indicate anything good for the couple throughout Season 4. Since the season premiere, Luke hadn’t posted anything to do with Iris, outside of their promotional videos for the show. Iris was in the exact same situation, being that her only posts featuring Luke also happened to be an extended video featuring the couple, with the caption “All I can say is yikes.” In the trailer the couple explains that they’ve been together for five years. In that period the only time either party was ever “tempted” was when Iris began to wander while the couple was on a break. Iris also explained that it was her idea to come to the island, to which Luke responded “I never turn down a challenge.” They finished their interview by stating that they both intended on leaving with one another, but as is shown throughout the video, both Luke and Iris appeared to get close with several other people throughout the season.

As for their time on the island, the Seattle couple certainly had their quarrels. Luke had been consistently jealous of the attention that Iris was getting, which caused him to flirt to make up for his insecurities. While he did admit that it wasn’t the healthiest coping mechanism he didn’t attempt to change. He also enthusiastically made it clear that he was ready to succumb to temptation if he got the inkling that Iris was connecting with other singles, which resulted in plenty of fans coming to regard Luke as a walking red flag.

Despite the fact that viewers may have been rooting for the demise of the couple, some eagle-eyed fans had speculated that they were still together. According to Cheat Sheet, Luke and Iris appeared to have attended Coachella together after fans noticed that a photo posted to Iris’ story was taken in a backyard that looked very similar to a photo that Luke had added to his story. Meanwhile, Iris managed to hide her left hand in photos on Instagram that she posted before the finale.

As it turns out, Iris did indeed say “I do” at the Temptation Island finale. Not only were they the only original couple to mutually decide to leave the island together, but Luke proposed immediately afterward. While the reunion still brought up Luke’s dirty laundry — namely, his propensity to flirt with the women in the house — Iris defended him and their relationship, saying that they are open and transparent about his feelings and the communications he continues to have with other singles from the show. While the two said they don’t have a specific date set for their wedding, they shared their plan to stay engaged for at least two years, along with their goal of having the ceremony in Santorini, Greece. At least they’re keeping the “island” part in their relationship, and hopefully not the temptation.
