The Ultimatum's April Marie introduced fans to her new boyfriend, Cody Cooper, after her split from Jake Cunningham. Viewers were introduced to April and her ex-boyfriend Jake during season 1 of the new Netflix series, which debuted earlier this month. However, the couple's love story changed after they swapped partners with other contestants to see if being with someone else would break or strengthen their bond. Unlike some couples who completed the experiment, April, 23, and Jake, 27, called it quits before doing so.
After The Ultimatum season finale, Jake, who was initially hesitant to participate in the reality show, revealed that he and April agreed to follow the experiment of dating other contestants. However, she altered her part of the deal by getting involved with someone outside of the show. Jake said he had followed everything April wanted, only for her to be unfaithful. When the former couple began the dating experiment, Jake had a connection with co-star Rae Williams but claimed they never had sex, though they kissed a few times. However, Jake was displeased that April did much more than he was. Although he wished her the best, he said he didn't want anything to do with her anymore.
