The Circle Season 7: Are Jadejha Edwards And Darian Holt Still Together In 2025?

The Circle isn't normally characterized by its dramatic relationships for obvious reasons: many of the cast members don't meet until the finale. Hiding behind screens, contestants form alliances, create vicious lies, and switch teams in an attempt to win the social media experiment. One tactic used by plenty of contestants is forming alliances based on flirting and attraction. While it can be a way to get a team member, it's never clear whether the person behind the screen is the same as the cast member in their profile picture. In the case of Jadejha and Darian, both played as themselves.

Darian Had A Crush On Jadehja In The Circle

He Seemed Earnest From The Start

Darian entered The Circle as an earnest middle school teacher intent on being himself and winning the cash prize. He became likable early on, but wasn't the same strategic player as someone like Kevin, who ultimately betrayed him. Darian seemed to take contestants at face value, rarely questioning their motives or intentions. This led to his comeuppance, as he was eliminated midway through the show by Kevin, his closest male alliance.

This event occurred during the influencer deliberation in episode 9, where Kevin and Gianna (played by twins Nicky and Jojo Scarlotta) were tasked with blocking a contestant. Despite Darian's prior loyalty (and his role in elevating Kevin to his coveted influencer status), Kevin chose to block Darian. He cited information from Madelyn Rusinyak that cast doubt on Darian's trustworthiness. It was a truly baffling move on Kevin's part, but he did make it almost to the end alongside Madelyn, who had proven himself to be very untrustworthy.

However, before getting eliminated, Jadejha and Darian had established themselves as a solid Circle couple. While those situations crop up every season, something about their connection seemed different. They even had a "Circle marriage" on the show, with both of them seemingly excited and invested in the union. No one could have anticipated the seriousness of their onscreen flirtation.

Darian & Jadejha’s Journey In The Circle Explained

Jadejha Could Have Won The Show

Jadejha was a more successful player than Darian throughout the game, but their relationship was still a focal point in their gameplay. As a The Circle season 7 cast member, Jadejha aimed to maintain a low profile, intentionally avoiding the influencer role. This strategy, however, led to the elimination of her close allies, including Darian. She was ultimately blocked just before the finale by Madelyn, who perceived her as a significant threat due to her impressive gameplay. Madelyn was also largely responsible for Darian's elimination.

Darian and Jadejha's relationship evolved from a strategic alliance to a genuine romantic connection as the game continued. After Darian's shocking blocking by former ally Kevin, he had the option to meet someone in person. While it would've made sense if he wanted to angrily visit Kevin and call him out for his betrayal, Darian had something else in mind. Darian made his way to Jadejha's apartment, where their attraction to each other became palpable.

Darian and Jadejha shared a sweet kiss on her couch that left her nearly speechless. While she was angry regarding Kevin's betrayal, she kept her vendetta relatively quiet, while still playing the rest of the game against Madelyn and Kevin. She gained the latter two cast members' trust as the contestants reached the finale. Jadejha ultimately lost as well, but she won something way better than notoriety and a cash prize, as she found love with Darian.

Darian & Jadejha Got Engaged

They've Been Together Since Filming Ended

Jadejha and Darian shocked everyone when they actually got together after The Circle season 7, turning their onscreen alliance into a reality. The pair reunited after the show and started dating, revealing their relationship after all episodes of The Circle season 7 had aired. In the wake of the new year, Jadejha and Darian revealed that they got engaged. "Here’s to forever with you," Jadejha captioned, followed by an engagement ring emoji.

"Here's to forever with you."

In the photos, Darian can be seen getting down on one knee with dozens of roses shaped like a heart in the background. Fans were ecstatic in the comments, saying, "Beautiful news from a gorgeous couple. I’m so excited for y’all’s happily ever after! Congrats!!" and, "Somebody pass me some tissue!" Jadejha and Darian were both likable cast members, and seeing them manifest happiness is a satisfying ending.

While Jadejha and Darian didn't win The Circle, they won each other. The Circle even had a season specifically for dating, but no one made it out as a couple. With failed relationships galore on Love Is Blind and Too Hot To Handle, perhaps The Circle really is the best place to find lasting love.

The Circle is available to stream on Netflix.
