April Melohn has the most Instagram followers out of ‘The Ultimatum’ castmates

Wanting to start a family as soon as possible, April Melohn gave her boyfriend Jake Cunningham the ultimatum. After the two guys she spent the most time connecting with proposed to their original partner, April ended up with Colby Kissinger for her three-week trial marriage. She understood how unheard Jake felt in their relationship and vowed to change, but he didn’t want to propose to her. Therefore, the couple split during the finale. She has since revealed her new boyfriend, a Texas native named Cody Cooper. As of publication, April has the highest Instagram count of her castmates, with 299,000 followers. Jake has 130,000.

Rae Williams is next on the Instagram follower list

Rae Williams brought her boyfriend Isaiah “Zay” Wilson on the show as she felt ready to start her career and a family. However, he considered Rae his first romantic relationship and didn’t know if he wanted to settle down yet. Rae opened up about her issues with Zay throughout their time apart, admitting it bothered her that he never posted pictures of her on his social media. Additionally, she tended to shut down during their disagreements due to how reactive he gets. On the other hand, Zay realized he was ready for marriage and wanted to tie the knot with his girlfriend. When he didn’t come home until late the following morning after an argument, Rae admittedly got physical with him and ended their relationship. She later agreed to a destination trip with Jake but did not go when she and Zay tried to work on their relationship. Rae has an Instagram follower count of 184,000.

Shanique is next on the list with 154,000 Instagram followers. She brought boyfriend Randall Griffin to The Ultimatum, determined to get married and start a family.

She paired with Zay, who has 132,000 Instagram followers, as her trial spouse as the two felt they “challenged” each other. During their three weeks, the couple got into an explosive argument and hooked up but ultimately decided they wanted to get back with their original partners. Shanique and Randall got engaged during the series finale.
