The cast of Too Hot to Handel try snacks from around the world
Too Hot to Handle's Rhonda Paul and Sharron Townsend connected instantly – but where are they now?
Netflix's new dating show Too Hot To Handle was filmed last summer – but the cast kept the fate of their relationships a secret on social media until the show was released.
While Harry Jowsey and Francesca Farago have left clues about their relationship all over Instagram, and have since posted pictures together, fans are now wondering whether other golden couple, Rhonda Paul and Sharron Townsend, are still together.

After a brief spark with David that fizzled out pretty quickly, Rhonda fell for Sharron almost instantly and the two became one of the most loved couples at the retreat. But, unlike other golden couple, Harry and Francesca, Rhonda and Sharron didn't excessively break the rules.
From their romantic dates to that adorable phone call with Rhonda's son, the pair have left fans dying to know whether they're a serious item or not.
We have good news and bad news for those who fell in love with the couple on the show. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rhonda and Sharron opened up about where they are at with their relationship.
The good news? They are definitely still in each other's lives. But the slightly less good news? They haven't seen each other since filming ended – and now, the coronavirus lockdowns have made it even more difficult to reconnect in person. (Rhonda lives in Georgia with her son and Sharron lives in New Jersey.)
"It's just a quick flight, and we kept trying and trying but it just never worked," said Rhonda. "I tried, but listen, we are great. Like, we still talk on the phone, we still FaceTime, we're still supportive of one another... If we can get together, I'm sure it'll pick up where it left off, no problem.
"We're trying to make it happen. It's been a year, yes, but that'll just make it more exciting. We've held out."
In a separate interview with ET, Sharron added: "I have a lot of love for her. We are definitely still rocking... Initially, once we came home from the retreat, Rhonda and I kept in contact. We were doing well for a few months. Then, with work and all that, I kind of got busy, and then my mom fell ill. That caused me to [focus on] everything that was going on here, so we took a break for a few weeks."
"Prior to the coronavirus happening, we had made plans of visiting each other," he continued. "And there's been talks of who is going to move, so we can kind of make things work. We've been talking about relocating to Los Angeles, hopefully."
For the sake of Rhonda and Sharron's connection, can the coronavirus just wrap it up and leave now? Please? We're really rooting for that reunion.
