Netflix’s latest season of the hit dating reality series “The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On<\/a>” has a distinctly Texas flavor, with five contestants hailing from across the Lone Star State \u2014 including from the Austin, San Antonio and South Texas areas.<\/p>\n

The show focuses on six couples<\/a> on the brink of marriage, in which one partner is ready to tie the knot while the other isn’t convinced. After issuing a “marry me or break up” ultimatum, the couples temporarily split and date the other contestants to pursue a three-week “trial marriage” with their new partner. After that, they reunite with their original partners for a second trial marriage before deciding to get engaged, leave with someone new or walk away single.<\/p>\n

San Antonio couple Casey\u00a0Douglass, 34, and David Atkinson, 33, have been dating for 5 years, according to a Wednesday report<\/a> from Swooon. While Atkinson has given Douglass three promise rings so far, he has yet to give her an engagement ring. Douglass is the partner proposing the ultimatum in the relationship.<\/p>\n

Another Texas couple,\u00a0Hayley Dina\u00e9, 23, and Blake Robertson, 26, have been together for two years. Dina\u00e9 said the pair met in college before packing up and moving to Austin together. She grew up in El Paso and attended Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, while Robertson identified himself as an Aggie and Texas A&M University graduate. In their relationship, Robertson is the one issuing the ultimatum.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 26-year-old Ashley Wilson said she grew up in South Texas. She and her partner,\u00a0Killian Grondin, 29, were living in Miami while filming the series.<\/p>\n

The series debuted its first eight episodes Wednesday, with the finale scheduled to premiere July 22. Whether these Texans leave with a future spouse, a new romance or simply a few emotional scars, one thing is certain: Everything is bigger in Texas \u2014 including the relationship drama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix’s latest season of the hit dating reality series “The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On” has a distinctly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-374405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
