Relationship status: Still together

Are Lisa and Brian still together from The Ultimatum Season 2? Jelisa “Lisa” Horne and Brian Okoye were one of two five original couples on Season 2 of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. Lisa, a 32-year-old vice president of clinical services, was the Ultimatum Giver, while Brian, a 29-year-old financial analyst was the Ultimatum Receiver.

Lisa and Brian were the only original couple on The Ultimatum Season 2 to not recouple with a new partner at The Choice. Lisa and Brian left The Ultimatum Season 2 in Episode 3 after Lisa learned she was pregnant and they decided to exit the experiment together, though Brian did not propose to Lisa and they did not get engaged. “I had expectations coming into this experience that is ultimately going to end with Brian getting down on one knee. You don’t just get married or get engaged just because you’re pregnant, but I would hope it makes him realize a little bit more that ‘you’re the woman I want to build a life with,’ so why am I also not the woman you want to put a ring on her finger,'” Lisa said in a confessional interview.

So are Lisa and Brian still together from The Ultimatum Season 2? The answer is yes. Lisa and Brian confirmed they were still together in an interview with People after The Ultimatum Season 2 premiered, in which they talked about how the experience strengthened their relationship. “It definitely brought us a lot more self-awareness in regards to [us] emotionally,” Lisa said. “It’s easy for him to notice when I’m triggered about something or when I’m upset about something. He takes those things very, very seriously now. And as well as me, I’ve noticed how I communicate with him a lot more easily now, and I’m a lot more observant to him and being communicable about what he wants and things of that nature.”

Brian, for his part, told People that The Ultimatum ended up helping his and Lisa’s relationship because it “put a lot on the front street” in terms of their issues. “We were super vulnerable, and obviously for the world to see and for us to see as well. It definitely opened our minds up more about what we were experiencing,” he said. “And it made us more willing to actually work on those things.”

He continued, “And as parents, I think it gives us a little bit more of the softness that we need. Even though a lot of people don’t see that, but we have a really great friendship and just relationship as a whole.”

Lisa and Brian also looked back on their massive fight over Brian flirting with other cast members before they left The Ultimatum Season 2. “I am not going to lie, I was distraught,” she said. “We’re in this experiment. In my mind, I’m like, ‘He’s out here dating other women and I’m pregnant.’ I didn’t know what to feel or how to think in that moment, but my reassurance came after talking to him.”

Brian also told People about what it was like to re-watch his and Lisa’s fight. “Honestly, to watch it again, it’s like you get a little nervous because you don’t remember exactly how it played out, but at the same time, you just wish things went differently,” he said. “For me, I think the biggest thing was we were able to grow through it. I know people in relationships go through things all the time, but it’s all about how you withstand the obstacles that you’re faced with.”

Despite the drama during their short time on The Ultimatum Season 2, Lisa told People that she had “no regrets” about how her and Brian’s experience on the series.”I don’t have any regrets in regards to how it worked out, especially with the pregnancy because that has been an amazing journey in itself,” Lisa said. “Of course, I have regrets of how certain things unfolded … just my reaction in regards to the cocktail party and how that unfolded. Obviously that is the only regret I have.”

She continued, “But in regards to our time on the show and how I had to leave the show, no regrets on that because it really gave me time to have a healthy pregnancy, which is what I needed.”

Brian added, “I wouldn’t say I have any regrets of leaving. I think the decision that I made, and we made, together was the best decision for us, but I do wish that we were able to stay because I think that we could have learned a lot more about ourselves within that time, as well as what we were aiming for in terms of our relationship.”

Lisa and Brian also confirmed they were still together in an interview with Bustle after the premiere of The Ultimatum Season 2, in which they looked back at their pregnancy. “Finding out the news that she was pregnant, we had to make a decision quick as to whether or not we wanted to proceed,” Brian said. “I went into father mode instantly to say, ‘Hey, it just doesn’t make sense for us to continue the experience.’ We wanted to get as much out of it as possible — and it was unfortunate that we couldn’t finish it out — but I don’t regret it at all.”

Lisa added, “Once Brian found out, he was like, ‘Nothing else matters. I want to make sure your mental health is good, I want to make sure you’re good, I want to make sure our baby is good, let’s go. I want to go to the doctor like tomorrow to make sure everything is alright.’ And I agreed with him. So, that was his decision. He went into immediate protective mode.”

Lisa, who told Bustle that she doesn’t usually “clear up rumors,” also reacted to cast mate Alex Chapman claiming that she knew she was pregnant before filming on The Ultimatum Season 2 started. “People are going to say what they want to say, but it’s OK because we knew the truth,” she said. “I didn’t know [I was pregnant], so what anyone else had to say didn’t bother me. I know they’re good people. They’re not malicious.”

Before they confirmed they were still together, Brian and Lisa hinted at their relationship status on their social media. Both Brian and Lisa still follow each other on Instagram. Lisa also shared an Instagram post the day The Ultimatum Season 2 premiered of her and Brian on the show, which Brian reposted on his Instagram Story. “I put my heart on the line…was it worth it?? The Ultimatum: Marry or Move Season 2 is now on Netflix,” Lisa captioned the photo, which Brian reposted on his Instagram Story with the caption, “Yessir sis!” Brian also hinted that he and Lisa were still together when he reposted a friend’s Instagram Story of him and Lisa on The Ultimatum Season 2, in which the friend congratulated Lisa and Brian on the milestone in their relationship. “It’s timeeee! Congratulations @lisahorne_ & @brianxokoye,” the friend captioned the photo.

The Ultimatum Season 2 is believed to have filmed from September to November 2022 based on the social media hiatuses of the cast members. In November 2022, Brian shared an Instagram post in which he celebrated “two years of love and growth” with Lisa, which seemed to have confirmed they’re still together. “Tell me your vision and I’ll show it to you This past weekend was one for the books,” he wrote. “I celebrated two years of love & growth with @lisahorne_ and was fortunate to produce the finale of Red Bull’s HBCU Tour at NCCU. After months of planning of preparation we created a masterpiece.” Lisa commented, “Always so proud of you my baby” with a heart emoji, to which Brian responded, “my lady.”
