With Netflix’s ‘Too Hot to Handle: Italy’ living up to the reputation of its parent production as well as all other international iterations, we get a reality series that is both hot and steamy. It follows a diverse group of attractive and sensual singles as they find themselves in a dream location, only to then be forced to remain celibate in the hopes of developing an emotional connection. Their encouragement is a grand prize of €100,000, but it actually dwindled down to €1,000 within days before the cast managed to raise it back to €62,000 despite all of them being coupled up.
Ibiza and Daniele Seem to No Longer be Romantically Involved
From the moment Evissia Ibiza Altea and Daniele Iaia locked eyes upon stepping onto the shores of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, the spark between them was undeniable. However, it initially didn’t appear as if they would be able to establish a strong connection due to her maintaining her distance both mentally and physically, as well as his cocky and playboy-ish ways. They proved everything wrong, though, as they gradually showed immense growth not just with one another but also personally, which is how Daniele even ended up winning the final prize pot.
But alas, despite the fact that Ibiza and Daniele had promised to continue getting to know one another in the real world, it doesn’t seem as if they were able to make things work in the long run. Thus, today, the Atlanta, Georgia-born yet Milan, Italy resident is primarily focused on her modeling and acting career, whereas the latter is simply dedicated to developing as an independent artist in Rome. It’s also imperative to note that 25-year-old Ibiza’s top priority right now is no one but her 5-year-old son Angel Gabriel, who recently had to undergo an operation and is slowly yet surely recovering. This ‘L’Isola dei Famosi’ (‘Island of the Famous’) star is also a travel enthusiast – whether it be Florida, Morocco, France, or Spain, she has been everywhere in the past couple of months alone.
Michelle and Klodian Are Likely Still Growing Together
Michelle Veronesi was merely 19 years old when she first came across our screens, but the way she carried herself and handled her relationship with Klodian Mihaj was well beyond her years. The 25-year-old had a great connection with her from the get-go, yet as time passed and they grew more serious, he began pushing away owing to his past trauma as well as fear of commitment. However, instead of getting angry, the teenager gave him his space while also continuously reiterating that she would always be there for him, that is, until he was finally ready to really open up to her.
In the end, Michelle and Klodian walked away hand-in-hand as an official couple. So, it appears as if they are still possibly involved and figuring out their life together despite being long-distance. The former currently splits her time between Varese and Milan in Italy as well as the United States, juggling her career as a fashion model with her further studies in the field of Economics. On the other hand, the latter is based out of Venice, where he proudly serves as the Manager of a high-end restaurant named Ristorante Riviera, a position he has proudly held for over 3 years. We should mention that both Michelle and Klodian share a passion for travel, too, with some of their favorite destinations being the UK, Spain, and Greece.
Carlotta and Alessandro Appear to be Head Over Heels in Love
Carlotta Cocins and Alessandro Varsi’s relationship on ‘Too Hot to Handle: Italy’ was arguably one of the most playful and steamy in all iterations of the show since they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. This did result in them losing over €40,000 throughout their stay in the retreat – from day 1 until the very end – without ever going all the way, but they did form an emotional bond over time. Nevertheless, the 28-year-old admittedly wasn’t ready to put a label on what they shared, even though she and her partner were both on the same page about wanting to continue exploring things in the real world.
From what we can tell, Carlotta and Alessandro have indeed managed to get to know one another on an even deeper level since the show concluded filming, resulting in them now being in love. This much is evident from the way the former has spoken about her time on the show as well as shared pictures with him, alongside castmates turned close friends Ibiza and Daniele, as seen above. If we’re being honest, this is truly a feat considering they are long-distance, pushing them to be really intentional in terms of their desires, emotions, and everything in between. She is an Architect, Content Creator, Travel Blogger, and Aspiring Actress primarily based in Dubai, whereas he is a fitness enthusiast as well as the proud owner-operator of a restaurant called Ristorante Shooters in Rome.
Yomely and Maurilio Likely Continue to Strengthen Their Relationship
While Maurilio La Barbera’s first choice was Michelle because she is his typical type to a tee, things changed when she chose Klodian early on, and then Yomely Fernandez came into the picture. The combination of the then-24-year-old’s beauty and brains intrigued the then-32-year-old the moment the bombshell arrived in episode 4, yet they had their fair share of issues too. It was the Latin brunette whose head turned when newcomer Giovanni stirred the pot in episode 5 with his fierce, spicy intensity, but she thankfully soon realized that he didn’t care for her the way Michelle did. Therefore, Yomely ended up choosing the latter for good, only for them to then get deeper, discuss their past as well as their future, and ultimately leave the villa as an official couple mere days later.
Neither Yomely nor Maurilio has explicitly confirmed or denied their relationship status as of writing, but their respective social media profiles do make it seem like they are still happily together. Honestly, we are rooting for them too, especially since they both deserve a happy ending, given how they have always been sincere about their feelings, no matter what they are. On a more individual level, it appears as if Yomely is a professional model wholly dedicated to her craft, aiming to represent her Latin heritage to the best of her abilities, whereas Mauriio is a man of many hats. The now 33-year-old is an entrepreneur, an entertainment producer, a fitness enthusiast, and a professional mentalist who, like his reported partner, also has wanderlust that he tries to quench by taking several trips a year.
Alessia and Jacopo Don’t Seem to be Together Anymore
If we’re being honest, Alessia Toso and Jacopo Tommasini had one of the most intriguing bonds in this version of ‘Too Hot to Handle’ owing to how they navigated the experience on the down low. The latter was initially unabashedly interested in Ibiza, but her lack of interest, the then-24-year-old’s open flirtations, as well as his finally learning to embrace the retreat, eventually pulled them together. It did take him some time to be as affectionate toward his partner as she desired, but once he let go of all his concerns and fears, their connection solidified to such an extent that they walked away from the production hand-in-hand when it was over.
Even though Alessia and Jacopo had a strong connection, it doesn’t appear as if they were able to maintain it in the long run upon returning to the real world and their busy lives. After all, the former is a professional singer who has released 4 singles in the past year, including “Segreteria,” “Scivola,” “S.O.S.,” and most recently “Black Glitter,” whereas Jacopo is Client Manager. This yoga enthusiast and Dietetics graduate from the University of Milan (class of 2017) used to serve in the Sales Department as an Advisor or Admin for many different brands. However, in late 2024, he evolved into a Shop Manager at G & B Negozi before spreading his wings in May 2025 to work as a Client Manager at Bolero in Mykonos, Greece, where he remains today.
Federica Nesti is Making a Name For Herself in the Enetertainment Industry
Although Federica Nesti was unlucky in love throughout her brief stint in the original production, things have always been drastically different in terms of her familial or professional experiences. We specify this because it seems like she shares a beautiful relationship with her loved ones, who have supported her every dream and given her the confidence to be a part of the entertainment industry. In fact, this Fashion & Design graduate from the Academy of Luxury in Milan presently serves as an official Promo Girl for a nightclub by the name of [UNVRS] in Ibiza, Spain, all the while also continuing to dabble in the world of modeling. It’s evident that she is perfectly content with her life as of writing, and we can’t wait to see what’s in the cards for her next.
Simone Coppola is a Proud Restaurateur
Simone Cappola was at Lana’s celibate retreat for just around 24 hours before he was eliminated by the AI cone owing to her belief that he represented everything she stood against. However, thankfully, it hasn’t negatively impacted his life in any way, shape, or form; instead, it has only propelled him into the limelight, giving him even more exposure than his previous stint on ‘La Isla de las Tentaciones’ (‘Temptation Island’) did. Thus, today, at the age of 31, he continues to spread his wings as a public figure while also serving as the proud owner-operator of 2 different restaurants in his homeland of Italy. He currently resides in Madrid, Spain, but he is behind Burg’s Burger and 400 Gradi – Trattoria del Borgo, both of which are in the province of Taranto in the Apulia region of Italy.
