Perfect Match Winners Split: Georgia and Dom’s Post-Show Breakup Drama Explained

The tropical paradise setting of Netflix’s Perfect Match promised fairy-tale endings, but Season 1 winners Georgia Hassarati and Dom Gabriel proved reality TV romance rarely survives the real world. After beating 22 other Netflix reality stars for an all-expenses-paid vacation in February 2023, their relationship crumbled amid accusations of blindsiding, podcast betrayals, and clashing communication styles.

What Happened After Perfect Match Season 1?

Georgia and Dom’s post-victory collapse unfolded dramatically in Netflix’s official “Where Are They Now?” follow-up video. While Georgia initially described their split as “amicable,” citing long-distance challenges, Dom revealed feeling “blindsided” when Georgia appeared on Too Hot to Handle star Harry Jowsey’s podcast. “We were still talking, we were together, and she had to do a certain podcast,” Dom explained. “The title was ‘Georgia and Harry Fall in Love.'” According to multiple entertainment reports including Variety and E! News, Georgia and Jowsey dated intermittently from June 2022 to April 2023.

Dom’s public frustration intensified through interviews and social media, prompting Georgia to defend herself on Nick Viall’s The Viall Files podcast. “He was so annoyed we weren’t moving at his pace,” she stated. “I want someone mature who communicates.” The Australian influencer emphasized their incompatibility off-screen: “We were not a perfect match… I felt pressured.”

The Communication Breakdown

Their conflicting accounts highlight core relationship fissures:

• Differing Expectations: Dom sought rapid commitment, while Georgia preferred gradual pacing
• Trust Erosion: Georgia’s podcast appearance breached Dom’s boundaries
• Conflict Styles: Public accusations replaced private resolution

Entertainment therapists note such patterns commonly doom reality TV couples. Dr. Jenn Mann (host of VH1’s Couples Therapy) told Insider: “Accelerated intimacy in filmed environments rarely accounts for fundamental compatibility gaps.”

Where Are the Season 1 Couples Now?

Most Perfect Match Season 1 pairs dissolved post-filming:

• Francesca Farago (Dom’s original match) is engaged to Love Is Blind’s Damian Powers
• Chloe Veitch (The Circle) and Shayne Jansen (Love Is Blind) split weeks after filming
• Only Joey Sasso and Kariselle Snow remain friends after their breakup

The messy collapse of Georgia and Dom’s relationship underscores reality TV’s romantic mirage: winning the game doesn’t guarantee lasting love. As Season 3 unfolds, viewers are reminded that authentic connection requires more than strategic coupling under cameras.
