Did Lauren and Derek get married on Catfish?

Oh, these two. Lauren and Derek set the bar insanely high for all Catfish couples to come. Lauren chatted with Derek for eight years on MySpace before meeting for the first time on Season 2 of Catfish. To everyone’s surprise, Derek actually turned out to be exactly who he said he was, and the two became a real-life couple in no time. Derek proposed on the Season 2 reunion show, and it seemed like he, Lauren, and her 3-year-old son Mason would live happily ever after. Unfortunately, Us Weekly recently reported that the two have ended their engagement. If this couple couldn’t stay together, is there any hope for the rest of us?

Like many catfish, Felicia always offered up excuses for why she and Mike couldn’t meet. Luckily with Nev and Max’s help, the pair finally met and Felicia turned out to mostly be the person she said she was, give or take a few details (you can’t be too picky when you’re on Catfish, right?). During the episode’s epilogue, we learned that Mike and Felicia officially became a couple, and Felicia was planning on moving back to New Jersey to be closer to Mike. Unfortunately, shortly after the episode aired, Felicia tweeted that Mike stood her up at the airport when she came to visit him, and their relationship was over. Felicia’s current Twitter profile photo shows her kissing another man, so it’s safe to say she’s moved on as well.

And then Rod revealed he continued to speak to Ebony online only because she was sending him money. Then she told Nev and Max that she only spoke to Rod because she thought he was gay, and she just wanted a friend. Can anyone else follow this tangled web Rod and Ebony wove? The pair were able to move past all this, and Rod and Ebony remained “cordial” and still talked after the show was over.

But when Kya finally met “Alyx,” he turned out to be Dani, a transgender man. Kya wasn’t too bothered by the revelation, and the pair started dating by the end of the episode. Less than a year after their episode aired, Dani tweeted that he and Kya were no longer together.

Why did Ashley and Mike lie to each other?

These two were the first “double catfish” featured on the show, both lying to each other about their names and pictures because they were ashamed of their weight. After meeting, the two hit it off and decided to stay together.

Eh, maybe not. Season 1’s Derek and Lauren were the first Catfish couple to get engaged on the show, prompting host Nev Schulman and Max Joseph to brag on their Twitter accounts about the potential first Catfish wedding. ’90 Day Fiance’ Catfish Story Lines That Belong on MTV: David, Lana, Yolanda, Williams and More!

However, after Felicia stood Mike up when they were supposed to meet, Mike called the show to let Nev and Max sort things out. Although Felicia was caught making various lies about her life, her name and pictures were real, which was all Mike really cared about anyway.

After spending seven seasons together with Nev as the ultimate investigative duo, Max left the show to pursue his career as a filmmaker. “Hey guys, the time has come, sadly, for me to move on from Catfish. Working on this show for the last seven years has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

Leuh initially fell for Justin after meeting him on Instagram, but grew suspicious after two of their meet-up attempts failed. After meeting on Catfish, they decided to make their relationship work. Things looked promising until Leuh posted an update on Twitter.

They were a Catfish first — not only did neither of them lie about their name or pics, but they also got engaged after the show’s taping! Unfortunately, they split in 2014. Today, Derek is now married to someone else and Lauren is keeping a low profile on social media.

Although they’ve been talking online for more than 10 years, Kim and Matt had never met in person. Once Catfish showed up, the two met and it was revealed that Matt had been genuine about his identity and was simply shy about meeting in person because of his weight. After the show, the two remained best friends.
