• Summer is a busy time for travel, especially as the world prepares for the Olympics in July.
• Business Insider spoke to Olympian Tom Daley about his top tips for staying fit while traveling.
• Daley recommends stretching, meditation, and looking for free activities near your destination.

The sun is shining longer and temperatures are getting hotter, which means summer is officially here.

Nearly 82% of American adults surveyed by The Vacationer plan to travel this season, with about a quarter planning to do so internationally. Between the Olympics in Paris, Wimbledon in London, and another leg of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, Europe will likely be a popular destination.

But as exciting as traveling is, it can also be stressful. Long flights, jet lag, and packed itineraries can make it hard to prioritize physical and mental fitness.

Business Insider spoke with four-time Olympic medalist and British diving legend Tom Daley through his partnership with Trainline, a European train booking app, to learn his top tips for staying fit while traveling this summer.

Whether you're headed to Paris like Daley, the Eras Tour, or any other corner of the world, here are his five recommendations to maintain your physical and mental health while on the move.

The most important thing to remember when traveling is your routine, according to Daley.

Daley, 30, told Business Insider that the most important thing when traveling is to try to maintain some kind of routine.

He started diving at age 7 and made his Olympic debut in 2008 at just 14 — understandably, Daley said his body has changed since then, impacting how he can and can't travel.

"When I was younger, traveling when you're 10 to 15 years old, you don't really have many issues," he said. "But then as soon as you start getting a little bit older, and as I've been more of an athlete now for 23 years, I just have to start thinking about how can I look after myself best when I'm traveling," he added.

The concept of routine is also an important part of how he stays disciplined while training and focused during competitions.

"I think the one way to be able to stay motivated and determined and committed to what you need to do is a sense of routine. Being able to stick to the routine, being able to know what you're going to be doing, when, it's all about the consistency," he said. "If you consistently stick to your routine, then you'll eventually get there."

So, if you normally like to go for a walk in the mornings, plan to do the same thing on vacation; this will give you something familiar to do while you're away from home and make it easier to continue that part of your routine once you're back.

Whether you're traveling by train, plane, or car, don't forget to get up and move around.

While we understand wanting to use all your travel time to binge-watch "House of the Dragon" or "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars," it's a good idea to take a break to move around.

"Even just being able to get up and move around, being able to stretch your legs," Daley said. "I often find myself doing lots of things to be able to stay as loose and nimble as possible."

The American Heart Association recommends getting extra steps in at the airport by skipping the conveyor belt people-movers and walking around while waiting for your plane to board. The AHA also recommends staying active during long road trips by frequently stopping to stretch or take short walks around rest areas.

In-seat stretches are also a good way to stay loose.

"I try to find myself doing in-seat stretches, as far as standing up and stretching your legs out, stretching your arms out," Daley said.

Stretching is beneficial because it can help improve flexibility, mobility, posture, and mental health.

Some seated stretching options include neck, shoulder, wrist, and ankle rotations. These motions can improve circulation and allow you to avoid feelings of stiffness.

Daley recommends meditation to keep your mental fitness strong while traveling, too.

Daley told BI that he's found meditation "can be really, really useful to be able to arrive as fresh as possible."

Some of his personal meditation tips include focusing on contact points, such as where you're touching the floor or seat. He also recommends counting where you inhale on one and exhale on two — and so on — until you reach 10.

"It's being able to keep your mind constantly active, but then also not really thinking about anything other than breathing. But once you get the hang of it, it's really useful," he said.

The benefits of meditation range from better focus and concentration to improved self-esteem and self-awareness, as well as reduced stress and helping manage anxiety or depression.

Once you've arrived at your destination, remember to take full advantage of your surroundings.

Daley said there are "so many amazing things to be able to do around Europe," like playing tennis on public courts, surfing, or his favorite, wakeboarding.

Whether you're into hiking, biking, or water sports, Daley's "Summer Sports Tour of Europe" has other recommendations to help you stay active on vacation.

• I went glamping for the first time in the Sahara Desert with two kids and had an amazing time.
• Not even the sub-zero temperatures and minimal amenities ruined the beautiful views.
• After this experience, I'd go glamping again and I might even try camping. 

I don't require five-star accommodations to be comfortable, but I have spent most of my adult life avoiding camping, convinced I would hate it.

When I travel, I like having hot showers, reliable electricity, and a warm place to sleep at night. Those basics aren't a guarantee with camping, but they do often come with glamping.

Glamping varies widely but generally consists of accommodations and facilities more luxurious than a basic tent. Sometimes, it also involves sleeping in a yurt, cabin, or unique structure — after all, the glamping industry is booming in the US amid the rising demand for unique travel experiences.

So when I booked a group tour to Morocco with my two kids that included overnight camping in the Sahara Desert, I was down to give it a try.

I paid $4,256 for the three of us for the entire group tour, which included accommodations, a sunset camel ride into the dunes, dinner, and breakfast during the two days in the Sahara Desert.

At first, I didn't realize what I was in for

When I signed up for the trip, I naively assumed a desert in North Africa would be comfortable in December.

Only later while frantically searching what I would need to camp in the Sahara did I learn its temperatures in the winter could fall to 25 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.

I started to panic. The tent I was staying in did not have heat. I rush-ordered a merino wool base layer and hoped for the best.

I read reviews past travelers left saying that even though the camp I was staying in had showers, I could forget about using them because it would be far too cold.

At the last minute, I packed a few baby wipes so I could give myself a sponge bath in the desert if needed. I was no longer convinced this would be a very glam experience, but it was too late to change my plans.

Fortunately, the desert camp was much nicer than I expected

My camp in the Sahara — El Borj, located in Erg Chebbi — was anything but basic. Improbably, it had a cozy, home-like feel.

Throughout the campsite, beautiful Moroccan rugs were carefully arranged over the sand. Each structure had pops of color on its exterior, too.

The camp had a welcoming walkway lined with solar-powered lights, which was great at night.

My tent was huge. Much to my relief, it was also insulated.

The camp had electricity, although I had been warned that the power source was unreliable and could fail at any moment.

Daytime in the desert was magical, and nighttime was cold but lovely

A day in the desert was just as magical as I had hoped.

I vowed that riding a camel into the sunset, watching the sun disappear over the vast desert, and sliding down enormous sand dunes would not be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

At night, I bundled up and enjoyed a feast with roasted olives, traditional Moroccan tagine, couscous, and fresh fruit sprinkled with cinnamon.

As the temperature dropped, I huddled by the fire and stared in awe at the desert sky, which was filled with more stars than I'd ever seen at one time. The moon was so full and bright it didn't look real.

I thought about how I would have missed all of this if I had let my fear of camping — and even glamping — stand in my way.

If being cold and going without a hot shower for a day was the trade-off for such an amazing experience, it was well worth the inconvenience.

When it was time to go to bed, the blankets were heavy, but I was so tired I barely noticed their weight as I drifted off to sleep.

I woke once, briefly, and considered getting up to use the bathroom in our tent. I felt the bitter cold nipping my face and decided I could wait until the morning.

I would gladly go glamping again — and I might even try camping

I woke up early, in time to catch the golden sunrise over the dunes. I sat by the fire with a hot cup of coffee mixed with warm milk and sugar.

As I watched the sunrise, I decided that I was a glamping person after all. Later that afternoon, driving away from the desert, I wondered if I should give old-fashioned camping a try, too.

Over 4,000 residents fled Tila, Mexico, after gangs ransacked the streets, shooting at buildings and burning homes.

• SpaceX internet division Starlink is offering a new smaller, more portable satellite dish.
• The laptop-sized Mini device draws less power than the full-sized Standard, and can reach 100Mbps.
• Sales are currently limited to areas where coverage has been "unaffordable or completely unavailable."

Staying connected while off the grid is getting even easier.

Starlink, the satellite internet division of SpaceX, is now offering a new smaller, more portable dish it calls the Mini.

At 11.75 inches by 10.2 inches and weighing less than 2.5 pounds, the laptop-sized device fits easily into a backpack and can reach 100Mbps.

It also draws less power than the full-sized Standard, which means the Mini is capable of running on a 100W USB-C PD battery pack, which The Verge estimates estimates could give you about an hour of run-time on a 10,000mAh pack.

"I just set it up right now and am writing this post through space. Took less than 5 mins," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk wrote on X. "This product will change the world."

Musk also claimed his connection achieved a remarkably low 23ms latency — fast enough for online gaming.

The unit costs $599 in the US, but sales here are currently by invitation only as an add-on service to residential service plans.

Additional regions will be available in the future, but for now only customers in Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Panama can purchase a Mini, where it is available at a lower price with a special standalone service option.

"Our goal is to reduce the price of Starlink, especially for those around the world where connectivity has been unaffordable or completely unavailable," Starlink said.

Outdoor enthusiasts and digital nomads alike welcomed the concept on X.

"This would be a game-changer for me," Ron Stauffer posted. "I've spent the past decade awkwardly Wi-Fi-hopping from coffee shops to restaurants to coworking spaces and tethering from my iPhone. I always have my backpack with me, so this sounds like the perfect solution."

• The Polybahn in Zurich is the most unique train ride I've ever experienced.
• The Polybahn is a train on a steep incline that takes riders up and down the hilly Swiss city.
• At just over $1, it's an affordable and historic travel experience with scenic views.

I've traveled 5,120 miles on trains in the US, Canada, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and Germany.

My rail journeys in these seven countries have varied greatly. I've booked a range of classes on day trips and overnight rides. I've even been on the 21st-century version of a legendary luxury train— the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.

But none of those experiences were as unique as my ride on the Polybahn in Zurich in 2022.

The Polybahn is a funicular, like a train on a steep incline (sometimes called a hillavator). The rails go up and down, making it feel like a slow roller coaster.

I thought the Swiss funicular was a great tourist attraction similar to an aerial tram because you can see a range of views of the surrounding areas. It's also a cool experience for history buffs, as the transportation mode has served Zurich since 1886, according to the company's website.

And for just over $1, it's the cheapest travel activity I've ever paid for — and one of the best.

My journey started at Central Polybahn station in Zurich's Altstadt neighborhood.

At the station, I used an automated machine to purchase a ticket. One ride cost me $1.30.

Inside, I walked up a set of stairs to the only platform and immediately noticed the tracks were on an incline.

The Polybahn pulled up within minutes.

According to the Polybahn website, the train arrives every five minutes. It has two cars that each carry 50 people at a time.

As I stepped on board, I was excited by the car's bold red exterior, wide windows, and unique shape.

I noticed that there were no staff members on board. Since 1996, the train runs automatically.

There were less than a dozen people on board. Some looked like fellow tourists with phones and cameras out; others seemed like locals.

But none were employees. According to the company's website, the Polybahn was upgraded in 1996 and has since operated completely automatically.

From the elevated train, I had wide views of Zurich from start to finish.

I saw a range of architectural styles, an abundance of greenery, and the hilly streets of the Swiss city from a window seat. A wide window at the back of the train reminded me we were moving up as the tracks sloped downward behind us.

Just two minutes later, my journey was over far too soon.

I could have spent at least an hour gazing at the city from the Polybahn, but just two minutes after departure, I arrived at Polyterrasse — a viewing deck at the University of Zurich.

With a panoramic scene of Zurich in front of a mountain range, I had an optimal view of the city I'll never forget.

• Two significant upgrades to the B-52 bombers are facing issues and delays, per a new watchdog report.
• The re-engined bombers, for instance, won't be operational until 2033, three years later than expected. 
• The upgrades are part of a plan to keep the B-52s in service until at least 2050.

Some significant upgrades to the US Air Force's 70-year-old strategic bombers are facing notable issues.

Plans to replace the engines and upgrade the radars of the B-52s now come with a higher price tag, delivery delays, and technology issues, according to a new government watchdog report.

The B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program, which seeks to substitute the bombers' older engines with military-configured commercial engines, is now delayed "in part due to funding shortfalls to complete the detailed design," the annual Government Accountability Office report on major US military programs said earlier this week.

Per the report, the B-52 CERP program "has worked with the contractors and submitted budget requests to support critical design review in August 2025 and initial operational capability in mid-fiscal year 2033." Delays are notably "a result of underestimating the level of funding needed to complete the detailed design activities."

That's three years later than the Air Force planned to have the re-engined planes operating. The service first announced plans in 2021 to replace the engines on its B-52s — which are out-of-production — with new Rolls-Royce-designed ones. The new engines boast improved fuel usage and easier maintenance.

Along with the delays, the cost of CERP saw a jump. The program's procurement cost, an initial $8 billion, is now up to around $9 billion, according to the Pentagon's fiscal year 2025 budget, as Inside Defense first reported. Its projected total cost is unclear.

The B-52 Radar Modernization Program also saw a bump in cost due to issues with lab testing, the GAO report said. "Costs grew by 12.6 percent since the program's initial estimate in 2021 due to additional hardware and labor for three integration labs, installation of test equipment, and an additional year of contractor support."

That upgrade involves switching the B-52s over to a new radar that provides greater range and resistance to electronic warfare countermeasures.

Along with the issues with these B-52 programs, GAO's report found that the Department of Defense was, across the board, "still struggling to deliver new technologies quickly, even while faced with constantly evolving threats."

For the B-52, the integration of new systems is critical to keeping its B-52s operational for the next few decades. The Air Force plans to keep the planes in service until 2050, almost 100 years after the first B-52 entered service. There are currently 72 active, with some in conventional roles and others still able to serve in a nuclear capacity. Those that are no longer active are in long-term storage at the Air Force's "boneyard" in Arizona.

The Air Force continues to rely on the B-52s for long-range strategic bomber missions, even though they lack the speed of the B-1 Lancers and the stealth of the B-2 Spirits.

Their formidable airframe and durable design keep them in good shape despite continued flights and operations. And updated weapons, communications, and other hardware and software keep the planes modern and capable, as well as make it easier to conduct future upgrades.

• Trump has wiped out Biden's cash lead in the race to November.
• Donations to the Trump campaign surged in the final two days of may after his felony conviction.
• Trump now has a cash advantage over Biden, with $116.6 million on hand versus Biden's $91.6 million.

Donations to the Trump campaign poured in after the former president's felony conviction last month. And now, he has a huge cash advantage over Joe Biden.

For the month of May alone, the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee raised a combined $141 million, The New York Times reported. Meanwhile, the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee brought in $85 million for the month, the campaign said.

To Trump's apparent advantage, he spent much of May in Manhattan federal court fighting 34 felony charges for falsifying business records related to his attempt to cover up an alleged affair with porn actress Stormy Daniels. And in the final two days of May — the day he was convicted on all counts and the day after — donations to his campaign surged dramatically.

On those two days, the Trump campaign raked in six times as many large donations as on an average day, Politico reported. And that surge is probably even higher because unitemized contributions under $200 aren't included, nor are ones that hadn't yet been transferred, according to Politico.

April was also a blockbuster month for Trump's fundraising efforts. He started out the month $100 million behind Biden, but by the end, his team had raised $25 million more than Biden's had for the month, according to the Times.

And now, Biden's longstanding cash advantage over Trump has been knocked out. At the end of May, Trump's campaign had $116.6 million on hand, while Biden's had $91.6 million, FEC filings show.

"President Trump's record-breaking fundraising numbers prove Crooked Joe Biden's witch hunts against President Trump, skyrocketing inflation, and the illegal border invasion have united the American people around the fact that another four years of Biden will mean the end of our country," the Trump campaign's communications director, Steven Cheung, said in a statement to Business Insider.

Still, the Biden campaign isn't doing too shabby.

The president's campaign said that May was its second-strongest grassroots month yet, with more than three million donors joining the effort. The Biden team said that combined with the DNC's funds, it had a war chest of $212 million at the start of June. The Trump campaign and the RNC have not tallied their total cash on hand for the same period, but a partial count shows they have a combined $170 million, the Times reported.

Biden has also been spending far more than Trump. In May, Biden's campaign spent $30 million, more than four times as much as Trump's, FEC filings show. Earlier this week, Biden announced a $50 million media blitz that includes a searing attack ad highlighting Trump's conviction.

"The money we continue to raise matters, and it's helping the campaign build out an operation that invests in reaching and winning the voters who will decide this election – a stark contrast to Trump's PR stunts and photo-ops that he's pretending is a campaign," Julie Chavez Rodriguez, the campaign manager for Biden-Harris 2024, said in a press release. "From person-to-person organizing to a historic paid media campaign, we're doing the work to reach and earn the votes needed to win in November."

• Harry Jowsey and Jessica Vestal are one of the most popular couples in "Perfect Match" season two.
• Fans previously speculated that the pair dated in 2023.
• Here's what we know about their relationship on the show and whether they are still together.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Perfect Match" season two.

Netflix reality star Harry Jowsey and "Love Is Blind" fan-favorite cast member Jessica Vestal broke up in the "Perfect Match" season two finale.

In season two, stars from "Squid Game: The Challenge," "Love Is Blind" and other shows date each other to find their perfect match.

The series gives Netflix the opportunity to give fan-favorite reality contestants more screen time while promoting their lesser-known shows like as "The Trust: A Game of Greed" and "Dated & Related."

In season two, Harry, who has a reputation for being a player, arrives in the house and says he is ready to settle down in a serious relationship.

His costars are doubtful, but he perseveres, and in episode three, he couples up with Jessica, who starred in the latest season of "Love Is Blind."

The pair fight in episodes three and five when Jessica questions Harry's honesty after she hears negative comments from other contestants. But Jessica sticks by Harry.

Their relationship gets messy in episode eight, when the male contestants go on a trip away from their partners and meet a group of female contestants.

Harry is caught in a cheating scandal after Melinda Berry accuses him of kissing her off-camera. Harry denies the kisses, but Holly Scarfone says she saw it.

When all the contestants get back to the house, Melinda tells Jessica, and Jessica is unsure who to believe. In the season finale, Jessica decides not to rematch that night, meaning both contestants have to leave the competition.

Even before the season finale, there were clues they were no longer dating. Here's why.

Jessica and Harry were photographed together in Mexico last year

Before "Perfect Match" aired fans were already speculating whether Harry and Jessica were dating.

In March, TMZ and PageSix published pictures of Harry and Jessica kissing that they claim were taken in June 2023 in Tulum, Mexico.

However, these photographs may have been taken while the cast was filming "Perfect Match" season two since the series was filmed in Tulum.

Harry confirmed on the latest episode of his podcast, "Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey," that the series was filmed in the summer of 2023.

Jessica implied she was single in March.

In March of this year, Jessica seemed to push back on the idea that she was dating someone.

She posted a TikTok, captioning it: "Trust, y'all will know when someone has wifed me up. Let's focus on the ones who actually might be."

It isn't as definitive as "I'm not in a relationship," but certainly points to an ongoing relationship with Harry being unlikely.

In February, Jessica also spoke about another possible non-Harry romance.

She said on the "Viall Files" podcast that she was attracted to a costar from "Love Is Blind" season six.

"I had another strong connection there," Jessica said. "I can't say any names because I'm still trying to sort some things out."

Harry said he broke up with a secret girlfriend last year.

In the fall of 2023, Harry partnered up with professional dancer Rylee Arnold to compete in "Dancing With The Stars" season 32.

However, fans began speculating that the dancing partners were dating after seeing their chemistry and reading reports that they spent Thanksgiving together.

Harry shut down the rumors at the time, telling Business Insider in November: "I try and ignore it all because I just want to focus on the dancing. If I get distracted with dating stuff and all that stuff, then I'm probably not going to be a good dancer."

In April, Harry said on his podcast, "Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey," that he was actually in a secret relationship during the filming of "Dancing With the Stars."

"All those edits kind of brought me and my girlfriend at the time apart," Harry said, referring to TikTok videos that elevated the dating rumors about him and Rylee.

This secret girlfriend could have been Jessica since Harry never reveals the woman's name in the video. But we don't know — and in any case it was over by the time he mentioned it.

"I was madly in love with this girl," Harry said. "It was probably just infatuation, but I thought it was love. Obviously, it ended up ending, and it fizzled out because it's so difficult to see your boyfriend or girlfriend on 'Dancing with the Stars' being that close with someone else."

Harry credited the secret girlfriend for keeping him steady during his sudden rise in fame until they eventually broke up.

Jessica calls Harry a red flag in TikTok videos

Throughout "Perfect Match," Jessica's costars warned her of Harry's poor dating history. However, Jessica ignores them and continues to date him.

After the first episodes of "Perfect Match" aired on June 7, Jessica also began calling Harry a "red flag" on TikTok which seems to imply that they are no longer dating.

On Monday, she posted a video with the caption: "When the entire house is telling you that your match is the world's largest red flag but you gotta see it through."

On Sunday, she appeared in another video shared by her "Perfect Match" costar, Micah Lussier, about their partners on the show.

"When everyone warned you about your man, but you're a lover girl at heart, so you're gonna stick beside him against your better judgment," Micah captioned the post.

Harry meanwhile commented on his relationship with Jessica after the show aired on the latest episode of his podcast.

However, he had nothing but good things to say about her and even said she was "the love of my life."

"I thought that Jess was the most incredible most beautiful woman that I've ever seen in my life," he said.

Harry and Jessica are not following each other on Instagram

The biggest clue that they're not together is that Harry and Jessica don't follow each other on Instagram.

Harry has shared videos and pictures of their time together on the show, but Business Insider has checked and he doesn't follow Jessica. In fact, Harry only follows some of his male costars from the show.

Jessica follows most of her male and female costars but not Harry.

This likely means they're no longer on good terms.

Correction: June 17, 2024 — An earlier version of this story misstated the number of episodes in the spoiler warning. There were nine episodes, not six.

• Elon Musk quietly had a third child with Neuralink's Shivon Zilis, Bloomberg reported.
• Musk has at least 11 children, including five with his first wife and three with Grimes.
• Musk has faced scrutiny over his relationships with female employees at SpaceX.

Elon Musk quietly had another child with an executive at one of his companies.

Neuralink's director of special projects, Shivon Zilis, had another of Musk's children earlier this year, according to a Bloomberg report published Friday.

It's his third child with Zilis. The billionaire quietly had twins with the Neuralink executive in 2021, according to court documents that showed Musk filed a petition to change the twins' names to "have their father's last name and contain their mother's last name as part of their middle name."

It's not clear how many children Musk has in total, but he has 11 living who are publicly known: five with his first wife, the author Justine Wilson, three with the musician Grimes, and three with Zilis.

Musk cofounded Neuralink and serves as the co-CEO of the company, which develops brain-computer technology. The news about another child with Zilis comes a couple weeks after a Wall Street Journal report detailed Musk's "boundary-blurring relationships" with female employees at SpaceX.

One former SpaceX employee accused Musk of asking her to have his babies on more than one occasion, according to the report. She declined the offer and later said she was denied a raise, according to the report. She eventually left the company and received an exit package valued above $1 million, the Journal reported.

Musk has talked publicly about his views on the risks of declining birth rates since 2017, and has said he considers the issue to be the biggest threat to civilization. He has also said he's encouraged his friends to have more children. A day after Business Insider reported he had fathered twins with Zilis, he posted on X that he's doing his best "to help the underpopulation crisis."

Musk isn't the only tech mogul to want to reproduce as a way to save humanity. The ideology is reportedly gaining traction among some powerful figures who believe they can counteract the risks of falling birth rates by producing genetically superior offspring.

Zilis and Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

• Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Perfect Match" season two.
• In the new season, "Love Is Blind" alum Micah Lussier couples up with "Dated & Related" star Kaz Bishop.
• Here's an update on their on their relationship. 

Micah Lussier and Kaz Bishop may have rekindled their relationship in the "Perfect Match" season two finale, but it seems they are no longer dating.

Micah is on her second attempt at a reality TV romance after trying and failing to find a husband on Netflix's most popular reality show, "Love Is Blind."

She appears in the latest season of "Perfect Match," a Netflix crossover series in which fan favorites from other shows compete and date to find their partner.

In episode two, Micah pairs up with "Dated & Related" alum Kaz Bishop, and the pair wins two couples' challenges in the season.

But their relationship is constantly tested in the second half of the series. First, Kaz is sent on a date with Holly Scarfone, who previously starred in "Too Hot To Handle" season three.

When Kaz returns, he struggles to decide who to pick between Holly and Micah. Micah gets angry about this situation and calls Kaz a liar. They make up in episode seven and match together again.

However, in the following episodes, Micah and Kaz are caught in more fights when he chats with other women.

In episode nine, the pair have a screaming match. Micah is angry with Kaz this time for talking to a third new contestant, Christine Obanor, and kissing Holly in a game. Kaz is annoyed that Micah told other contestants that they are the weakest couple.

They finally break up and Kaz matches up with Christine, and Micah pairs up with Izzy Zapata.

In the following episode, Kaz has second thoughts and speaks to Micah about rebuilding their relationship. Micah doesn't immediately give in but eventually decides to match with Kaz.

At the end of the season, they are still coupled up.

Here are the clues that the couple probably isn't together anymore.

Micah has posted on social media about other dates

Netflix reality series are often filmed months or even years before they premiere. This means that contestants often do not post anything about their relationships from the reality show or new relationships until after the series has aired.

While we do not know exactly when "Perfect Match" season two was filmed, it was likely before the fall of 2023, when some contestants had other TV commitments.

Since September 2023, Micah has shared three TikTok posts about going on new dates. In the first post shared on September 16, 2023, Micah shows the man she is dating, and he doesn't look anything like Kaz.

Micah has not confirmed that she has a new partner, but the fact that she is dating other people means her romance with Kaz probably didn't work out.
