When Netflix released Too Hot To Handle season 6, the chemistry between Flavia Laos and Joao Coronel was hard to miss.
The two hit it off after realizing they were more compatible with each other than the rest of the cast members.
Flavia, a Peruvian actress and singer, and João, a Brazilian social media influencer and actor, entered the retreat with high hopes for love. Although they didn’t initially pair up, they eventually connected, creating a buzz among fans.
Trials and Temptations
In season 6, the environment around the contestants was curated to constantly entice them to give in to their temptations.
The villa rules were to be strictly followed, but hurdles were thrown in to test the contestants’ loyalty to their partners.
At one point, Jalen was brought to the retreat to test Bri’s relationship with Demari but caught Flavia’s eye instead.
The conversation between Flavia and Jalen caused her to question her relationship with Joao. Fans who had shipped them together since they officially became an item in episode 2 were heartbroken.
During a workshop, Flavia worked through her thoughts and realized she’d be missing out on something good by leaving Joao.
The Breakup between Flavia and Joao
She eventually talked with Joao about her fears at that time. Despite the honest conversation, Joao could not reconcile the doubts that rose from Flavia’s confession.
He felt insecure in the relationship, and just before the finale, he broke things off during a date with her. Jaoa sang her a breakup song.
This move caused tension between the two which they thankfully talked through and agreed to part ways.
Flavia and Joao may not be romantically together but have become best friends. They both have been focusing on their careers. Joao, a musician, has been active in Los Angeles, releasing music and working toward his professional goals.
Flavia, a well-known Peruvian actress, and influencer, continues to work in entertainment and has expressed that she is prioritizing personal growth and career over dating.
We will update you if their relationship status changes, but they continue basking in their friendship.
