‘Perfect Match’ star Francesca Farago has searched for love on multiple reality TV shows

Francesca Farago is no stranger to reality dating shows. She starred in season 1 of Too Hot to Handle, where she met fellow contestant Harry Jowsey. The couple got engaged over Zoom when Jowsey proposed to Farago with a Ring Pop. 

But their relationship didn’t last, and Farago briefly appeared on season 1 of Love Is Blind: After the Altar. She went looking for love again on Perfect Match, where she dated other reality star singles, including Damian Powers, Dom Gabriel, and Abbey Humphreys.

Since filming Perfect Match, Francesca Farago has found a new boyfriend, and it’s not anyone she met on the reality dating show. 

She is in a relationship with Jesse Sullivan, a TikTok star who mostly uses his platform to document his experience as a trans man and the parent to his child, Arlo. Sullivan also starred in the documentary My Transparent Life.

Francesca Farago says her boyfriend, TikTok star Jesse Sullivan, refuses to watch ‘Perfect Match’

Francesca Farago revealed that her boyfriend, Jesse Sullivan, won’t watch her on Perfect Match.

“My boyfriend isn’t watching,” Farago told Variety. “I wasn’t planning on watching. I’m so in love with him. It’s crazy how good we are all the time, 24/7, so I was like I don’t want to watch it just because it doesn’t interest me.”

She said that while the TikTok star is “supportive,” watching the show is “uncomfortable.” “It is a little uncomfortable for both of us, but at the end of the day, I was single during filming, and he’s very aware of that – and he’s very supportive,” Farago explained. “The trailer got released, I thought he was a little bit upset, and he left the house and I was like, ‘Oh, damn, he’s upset,’ but then he comes back with roses and a little note that saying [sic] he was so proud of me. He’s just so supportive. He’s not going to watch it, but he’s very supportive.”

Now that she’s in a happy relationship, Farago shared that she’s “definitely done with dating shows,” but she would be open to filming ‘a ‘Challenge’ show or something that didn’t involve dating.”
