Temptation Island Season 5 premieres on Wednesday, June 14, 2023, at 9 p.m. ET, and is hosted by Mark L. Walberg. The premiere lasts an hour and ends at 10 p.m. ET. The synopsis for the premiere reads, “Four couples at a crossroads try ‘single life’ to decide if they should stay together.”

The first couple is Nzubechukwu Ezihie and Leonila Pedro. Nzubechukwu and Leonila (who go by “Great” and “Paris,” respectively), met on social media in 2021, as they both live the influencer lifestyle. Unfortunately, they both have a history of cheating, and it appears Paris wants the relationship to move faster than Great does.

Hall Toledano and Kaitlin Tufts also hit the beach this season. Hall and Kaitlin began dating eight years prior to Temptation Island. While they’re engaged and they own a home together, they haven’t picked a wedding date. Kaitlin hesitates to set a date, as Hall left in the past after fearing to commit fully.

Christopher Wells and Marisela Figueroa also hope to solidify their relationship this season. Christopher and Marisela have been dating for two years, but they can’t seem to get on the same page. He hasn’t remained faithful in the past but now wants to settle down, but Marisela doesn’t.

Roberto Maldonado and Vanessa Valente have a serious age gap (10 years), and they never intended for their relationship to last beyond a one-night stand. As the older person in the relationship, Vanessa is ready to commit. But she worries Roberto can’t get there just yet.

As for the singles, Alexius Adams works as a patient coordinator at a med spa and hopes to find an emotional connection on the beach.
