Love Triangle 2025 saw Original Suitor Payton offered two Singles to date: Dante and Jordan. She initially formed a stronger connection with Jordan, and the pair moved in together.

However, as the premise of Love Triangle goes, Dante later moved into the house with Payton and Jordan, and while there were some hiccups along the way, the trio seemed to form a good connection. Payton ended up picking Jordan at the Final Decision, but things went south when she was shown a vile comment he made about her at the Reunion, and the couple split straight after.

So, does Payton wish she had picked Dante? We went straight to the source and asked Payton herself, and she gave us an update on where she and Dante stand now.

Are Love Triangle’s Dante and Payton together?

While Payton only had positive things to say about Dante, she doesn’t think they would have worked out as a couple if she had picked him over Jordan.

“I think that Dante and I weren’t necessarily right for each other either,” she told Chattr.

She went on to share an exciting update about Dante’s current relationship status.

“I think that Dante is an incredible person and that he is absolutely wonderful, but he’s — I’m not speaking for him — but he’s with someone right now, and he’s really happy.”

“He lives far away from where I am, and who’s to say that, like, long distance might have worked, but I wasn’t ready to move, that’s the thing.”

“He’s with someone who’s from his town, and he’s really happy, and I would have stopped that for him, you know. So everything happens for a reason, and I think he’s in a place that’s really good for him.”

Payton confirmed that she and Dante are still really good friends and said they stay in contact.

Are Jordan and Dante still friends?

At the Love Triangle Reunion, viewers heard Dante sing Payton and Jordan’s praises.

“I’m genuinely happy for them. At the end of it, I came out with love for both of these guys. So if they’re happy together, I’m sincerely happy for both of them,” he said.

So, are Dante and Jordan still friends after his shocking comment about Payton?

“I’m unsure, I think [Dante] was trying to maintain a friendship with Jordan,” Payton told us.

Dante deserves better!

What was Jordan’s controversial comment about Payton at the Love Triangle Reunion?

As we already know, Jordan said some pretty horrible things about Payton during the first Dinner Party.

“Fuck you man, you know I’m not attracted to that,” Jordan said to someone, about Payton. “I asked for small, tanned, ethnic… She is the complete opposite in every single thing.

“Literally any other girl here I would be into,” he continued. “If I fucked her or whatever then I’m like even more of a fuckwit. Like, there’s just no way I’m not looking like an arsehole after this, dude.”

If you thought it was impossible for Jordan to sink any lower, we’ve got bad news. Love Triangle Reunion host Chrishell Stause told Chattr that there were even more comments Jordan made that didn’t air.

“I actually wish they left this part in. He made some comment about Peyton on the F ability factor of one to 10, and it was so disgusting. It was so gross,” she revealed.

“And so I said, Okay, Jordan, where do you think you fall on that list? And you know, of course, then he shrinks back. And you know, he’s a big, tough guy when you know he’s speaking, but now in front of everyone, where he has to basically own up to his actions, he kind of shrank away.”

Chrishell added that while it was “really hard” to watch Payton see Jordan’s comment for the first time, she’s glad that Payton learnt the truth.

“I wanted her to see the video,” she said. “I know the public’s going to get behind her, and I hope it makes her feel herself and find that self-worth that I really want for her so that she never puts up with this behaviour again.”

Hear, hear, Chrishell!
