Spoilers for every episode of Age of Attraction season 1 ahead. The latest Netflix reality dating show questions a long-held idiom: Is age really just a number? For season 1 cast members Libby Vodicka and Andrew Wheeler, the 16-year age gap is more concerning on paper than in practice—even if Libby is closer in age to Andrew’s oldest daughter than she is to him. Parenthood and maturity are top of mind for both parties as they journey through the experiment; whether they’ll stand the test of time remains to be seen. In the meantime, here’s a look at Libby and Andrew’s relationship on Age of Attraction thus far—and what we know about whether they’re still together after the reality show.

What happens between Andrew and Libby at the 'Age of Attraction' retreat?

Libby, 22, and Andrew, 38, are immediately attracted to each other during the initial “speed dating” that starts off the experiment. For Andrew, that’s not surprising; he divulges that Libby is exactly his type (a.k.a. she’s fun, blonde, and younger than him). He also opens up early on about fatherhood, telling Libby that he has two daughters who are a big part of his life and that he evaluates relationships based on who he believes will enrich their lives. Libby is surprised that he’s a dad, but completely understands his perspective and isn’t scared by the prospect of becoming a young stepmom.

Emotional maturity is a big topic of conversation for them, and initially, Libby seems reluctant to share details about her past. She dodges a question about her last relationship, but eventually tells Andrew that it ended five months ago because her ex had a lot of things he needed to fix, and she wasn’t willing to take that on for him. That conversation is the first step in Libby opening up to Andrew, though she tells the cameras that her interest in Andrew makes her nervous; she wants to let her guard down as he’s the only one there that she’s attracted to, but the apparent age discrepancy and the fact that he has kids are “making her mind run in circles.”

Andrew, meanwhile, tells the confessional that while it’s fun to date younger, he’s not sure if it’s healthy. If they make it to the other side of this experiment, he knows that his friends would roast him for dating his usual type. But with Libby, he says he feels a genuine connection. Even though he’s mostly seen her funny side, he believes that there could be something deeper if she can show a sweeter, softer, and more emotional side of herself.

To both of their credit, they push forward despite their reservations and begin letting their guard down. Libby acknowledges that she is scared to let people in to see a more emotional side of her, but she’s warming up to that place with Andrew. Andrew, meanwhile, shares that his daughters are 14 and 12 and relays that his life would need to stay in Baltimore for the time being. Libby is scared about the daughters’ ages (she’s less than a decade older than his eldest!) but says she’s open to a long-distance relationship as she’s “someone who goes all in.”

The conversation reassures Andrew, who says that every time they talk, he sees more of her, and he hasn’t felt like this about anyone in a while. She keeps him off-balance, he says, and he’s attracted to that energy. While age and lifestyles are on his mind, he sees a lot of the qualities that he’d want in a long-term partner in Libby, which is enough for him to ask her to the Promise Room, where they reveal their ages.

Do Andrew and Libby make it to the Promise Room on 'Age of Attraction?'

In the Promise Room, Libby and Andrew restate their feelings for each other: He says his life was at a standstill and that she reignited his spark, while she says that his being a father attracted her to him because it made him feel more serious.

Despite that, the age reveal is still shocking for both parties. Andrew needs to sit with the information for a moment before saying that seeing her more mature side reassures him. Privately, he reveals that this is his biggest dating age gap, and he’s worried about whether they can meet each other where they are in life. Still, they decide to leave the Promise Room together and test whether they can actually fit into their lives in the real world.

Do Vanessa and Logan couple up on 'Age of Attraction?'

After the couples from the show touch down in Vancouver for the next phase of the experiment, Andrew voices a concern that echoes Libby's: The first thing he thought at the Promise Room reveal is that she’s closer in age to his daughter than to him.

But once they move in together, he feels like he’s falling for her more and more every day, and could see her as his forever person. Their life together seems playful: She teaches him how to do morning affirmations and jokes that he can only sleep in the bed one night, while he cooks breakfast and goes with the flow.

There are still a few things they need to reveal to one another, though. For Andrew, it’s that he used to play soccer professionally in Vancouver, but had to quit after he got injured. (Someone investigate the injured pro soccer player to Netflix reality show pipeline, stat!) In a moment of vulnerability, Andrew reveals that the aftermath of the injury embarrassed him, and he still feels like he let his dad down. Libby surprises him with her empathy, saying that everyone feels this way and that one day his daughters might take a path he doesn’t expect, but they have to do what’s best for them, rather than living for him. He’s impressed by this wisdom and feels encouraged that he’s seeing a new side of Libby.

Andrew is encouraged by the conversations they’re having and her maturity, and says that he wouldn’t have been able to do something like this when he was 22. To him, this feels like perfect timing for them to have met. But even though their perspectives match, pop culture references are always there to remind them of the age gap, especially when Libby reveals she doesn’t know the Spice Girls. When all the couples get together at the end of the first batch of episodes, Andrew says this is the only reminder of the age gap—a welcome low-impact conflict to have.

Before they meet each other’s friends and families in the next set of episodes, Andrew is still noodling on whether he believes Libby will be okay with his schedule and the way he needs to prioritize his children. She tells him she finds that attractive and thinks it’s a turn-off when people don’t have their own lives.

What happens when Libby and Andrew meet each other’s friends & family in 'Age of Attraction?'

At a bar in Vancouver, where the show seems to be headquartered, Andrew first meets two of Libby’s friends, Lauren and Nina. Nina is studying to become a therapist, and she wastes no time getting to know Andrew. Perceptively, she notices a bracelet on his wrist that he says his daughter made for him, which opens the floodgates to learning about his family history and age. Nina asks whether he has a good relationship with the mother of his children, and even when he insists that they do, she’s skeptical.

Lauren, meanwhile, asks how he feels about dating someone younger. Andrew doesn’t necessarily answer that question head-on, but explains that they matched on connection. Libby reasons that they’re really good roommates, which her friends call her out on, by saying this is a serious relationship, not a platonic roommate situation. Libby is more awkward in this moment than we’ve seen her be thus far, clearly showing her nerves and maybe even her true personality.

Andrew’s friends, Amir and Robert, soon join the party, where it’s revealed that Amir encouraged Andrew to consider long-distance relationships and even go on the show. Libby tells Andrew’s friends that her goal on the show was to find an emotionally intelligent man, and found that in Andrew. He adds that while their initial connection was playful, his feelings grew when they let their guards down.

The groups split so that Libby can have girl talk with her besties and Andrew can get some alone time with his bros. Amir and Robert had a bet that Andrew would end up with a 22-25-year-old blonde, but soon they’re talking about real life. Amir asks what will happen when Andrew goes back to Baltimore, where he owns a bar and has his daughters. Andrew replies that they’ve been discussing what a long-distance relationship looks like and that he doesn’t need Libby to be a stepmom but rather a big sister. Robert cringes at that and jokes that she can’t even rent a car to see him. (Touché!)

Libby and Andrew seem to be on the same page; when Libby’s friends express concern about her becoming a 22-year-old stepmom, she echoes Andrew’s assertion that she’d feel comfortable being like an older sister. Thankfully, her friends point out the gravity of the situation, even though Libby’s mind doesn’t seem to have changed: She counters by saying that Andrew’s age and identity as a father are the reasons that she likes him in the first place.

Both Libby and Andrew’s friends are cautiously optimistic. Libby’s girl friends think she’s wearing rose-colored glasses, while Andrew’s guys worry that the relationship is just fun with no depth. When the couple debriefs later, they acknowledge they have some hard questions ahead of them. While they can’t get everyone to buy into the relationship in the first interaction, they’re encouraged that everyone was able to hang out and interact naturally.

But in the seventh episode, the weight of the decision seems to be top of mind for Andrew. He tells Libby that he’s concerned about integrating their lives and forcing her to settle down before she might be ready. When he was 22, he remembers, he wasn’t ready for a committed relationship and tells her that he’d understand if she felt the same. Libby tries to assuage his fears, saying that she feels he is a good addition to her life. Still, heading into the finale’s commitment ceremony, Andrew’s reservations are on the table, and Libby is upset to hear them, especially since she opened up to him.

Did Libby and Andrew from 'Age of Attraction' decide to stay together at the Commitment Ceremony?

Before they go their separate ways for the mandated alone time prior to the Commitment Ceremony, Andrew acknowledges that he’s the one who’s brought up some of the more challenging conversations and he wants to know how they will tackle hard convos outside of this bubble. Libby admits to feeling a little anxious that he’s in his head about some of their differences, and notes that the age gap could be too overwhelming. Going into the final decision in which they decide whether to try their relationship in the real world, Andrew is clearly fighting a battle between his head and his heart, and Libby says that his doubts are becoming her doubts.

At the Commitment Ceremony, he voices his fears once again. But Libby acknowledges their connection and her thoughts via a handwritten note, doubling down on her love for him and explicitly describing his adult responsibilities as an addition to her life. While it doesn’t entirely quell his logistical concerns, he feels like this might be his “rom-com happy ending.” Andrew asks Libby to be his girlfriend outside of the experiment. She says yes, and they leave the experiment as a committed couple.

Are Libby and Andrew from 'Age of Attraction’ still together?

We won’t know for sure until the alleged cast reunion, and unfortunately, Libby and Andrew’s recent podcast appearances and Instagram presence paint conflicting pictures. Both parties went on host Nick Viall and Natalie Joy’s podcast “The Viall Files” and (separately) defended their relationship, but Libby also posted a carousel of images from the show with a caption that referred to her relationship with Andrew as a “delusionship.” Before the finale, both Andrew and Libby dropped some BTS that heavily featured each other—until we find out more concrete details, it’s nice to know they’re at least still friendly.
