    Spoilers for every episode of Age of Attraction season 1 ahead. While age isn’t always a dealbreaker when it comes to dating, it’s unfortunately largely socially unacceptable for women to date younger men. The new Netflix reality dating series Age of Attraction is putting that to the test, and Vanessa Drozda and Logan Goodrid are specifically investigating how their age gap and relationship would work in real life. Here’s a look at the couple’s journey on the reality show and whether they're still together after the cameras stopped rolling.

    What happens between Vanessa and Logan at the 'Age of Attraction' retreat?

    Logan, 29, is Vanessa’s, 49, second connection at the retreat, after they bond over a conversation about their childhoods. Vanessa reveals that she recently lost her mom, and was inspired by the way her dad cared for her, and wants to find that type of love. Logan, on the other hand, admits that he’s notorious for running away when things get serious. While he’s dated older, he’s never dated anyone older than 34 in a serious capacity. To him, dating someone like Vanessa is “intriguing.”

    Both parties are open about their dating past. Logan’s last serious relationship was three years ago, and he’s put dating on the back burner ever since then. Similarly, Vanessa has been single for four years, mostly because she found herself repeatedly in toxic relationships. Vanessa is open about those toxic relationships, revealing that she’s been engaged four times and has a daughter who was born when Vanessa was 18. The oversharing makes Logan a little uncomfortable, as he was trying not to do the math. He comments on a “visible age gap,” which Vanessa rightfully found insulting, and she notes his immaturity as a red flag.

    Still, she’s open to building something with him because he’s caring, supportive, and affectionate. He sees her as energetic and friendly, but is candidly worried about her baggage. But he walks back his comments about their noticeable age gap and tells her that he actually wants to try and see where things go. That he owned up and took responsibility for his words reassures her, and she’s open to giving him another chance, but she wants to make sure his actions match his words.

    Do Vanessa and Logan make it to the Promise Room on 'Age of Attraction?'

    In her voiceover on the way to the Promise Room, Vanessa reveals that she’s the only one in her family who isn’t married—including her sisters and her daughter—and she doesn’t want to spend the last part of her life alone. But she’s worried that Logan will see her differently after their ages are disclosed.

    Before the age reveal, Logan says that he wanted to go on this journey to find the right one, but acknowledges that he didn’t take the time to appreciate what was in front of him. Vanessa mentions her parents’s relationship again and that she wants to find her light at the end of the tunnel. She fought against her instinct to run away from the rocky moments of their relationship thus far, but she doesn’t want to run from him. He spontaneously kisses her after she says that, and she quips, “You kissed me so good it knocked my bracelet off.”

    After donning the promise rings, they reveal their ages. He’s taken aback, having believed she was mid-to-late 30s, but he still wants to try. She echoes the sentiment, telling producers that she would’ve swiped left on a dating app if she saw a 29-year-old. But with his previous hesitations, she says it’s up to him to prove whether he’s in it for the long haul.

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

    Their rocky relationship continues when they land in Vancouver, which is where they and the other Age of Attraction couples move in together. She notices that they’re not as affectionate as the other couples, and later confides in fellow contestant Theresa about their lack of intimacy. Vanessa says she feels like she’s in the friend zone, and Theresa advises her to talk to him about it. When she brings it up to Logan, he disagrees, saying that he wanted to build something with her the right way and feels that leading with physical intimacy won’t end well.

    Sex isn’t the only issue they have. With Vanessa based in Ohio and Logan in Dallas, she questions the likelihood of a long-distance relationship. Vanessa has been cheated on before and shows her insecurity about the distance by saying that she’d be worried about him bringing girls back to his place when she’s not there.

    To make matters worse, she asks him what his friends would think about him dating her and if he would lie about her age to them. He says that he’d tell them the truth, but she doesn’t seem to believe him. “I love that you’re smart enough to know the right answers even if you don’t mean it,” she says dismissively. It’s not a great look for Vanessa and her clear insecurities about their age difference…which is only compounded by her asking whether she should get Botox or lip filler before meeting his friends. (Face palm!)

    After moving in together, individual insecurities and reservations about their relationship start to surface.

    By the end of the first batch of episodes, they have had a few real talks. She explains that she thought she was going to get “fireworks” with someone younger, but it feels more like Memorial Day rather than July 4th. Vanessa says she feels like she’s walking on eggshells when they talk and that she’s mothering him, while he validly asks whether she actually likes him or just the idea of him. Logan points out that she’s not flexible with him and doesn’t feel like he’s being treated as an equal partner.

    They finally have sex that night, but it’s not exactly the fireworks that she was expecting. He comes quickly (he explains he hasn’t had sex in a while), and she has to coach him through foreplay, but by the next day, Vanessa seems to have renewed hope for the relationship. She feels like Logan is finally letting his walls down and she’s meeting the real him, and she no longer wants to run away and isn’t concerned about the lack of intimacy.

    When the couples get together again with hosts Nick Viall and Natalie Joy, Logan says that their connection is getting stronger, but they’ve still had arguments. Vanessa says that she’s learned he’s not a loud party boy and that he has a lot of depth and sensitivity, but they are still learning how to adjust to one another.

    Those compliments are short-lived because once the hosts announce that their friends and families will be arriving shortly, Logan’s reaction is off-putting to Vanessa. In front of everyone, she asks why this next step is so surprising. Logan explains that he likes to keep his life separate from his loved ones, but she’s not satisfied with his response. When they talk about it more later that night, she says she doesn’t understand why he’s so scared about his family being there. Again, he reiterates his privacy and says that it’s been a long time since he introduced someone to his family. To cameras, Vanessa says this stunts their progress, while Logan admits he doesn’t know if she’s the one and that their age difference scares him, but still wants to grow their connection.

    What happens when Vanessa and Logan meet each other's friends & family in 'Age of Attraction?'

    Vanessa’s struggle with Logan has always hinged on his immaturity and nervousness about their age gap, and meeting each other’s loved ones doesn’t necessarily temper those concerns. His mom is immediately skeptical about their long-distance relationship, and their generational differences resurface when his dad offhandedly suggests that they’re the same age. His parents are shocked to find out that she’s 20 years his senior, and his mom isn’t shy about how this might interfere with her desire to be a grandmother. Logan insists he’s not sure he wants kids at all, but his parents aren’t buying it; apparently, he’s always wanted to be a dad, and his uncertainty about that seems to be a more recent development.

    The conversation with his parents definitely gets in his head, as he admits he questions whether the age gap challenges what he wants in the long term. He’s also well aware of their differences, pointing out that she’s self-sufficient while he’s still discovering himself. His mom recognizes this as a potential barrier as well, telling the camera that Vanessa will need a lot of patience since she’s more mature.

    Things don’t go quite as smoothly when the couple meets up with Vanessa’s friend, Hayley. Even before they arrive at the bar, Vanessa makes her insecurities known, asking Logan whether he remembers why he likes her. When they sit down with Hayley, the couple constantly bickers about small things, which makes Vanessa’s friend extremely uncomfortable. To make matters worse, Hayley doesn’t react well to learning about their age gap, and Logan feels like he’s constantly being reminded of it.

    The girls get some alone time at the end of episode 7, and Hayley is blunt when she says that she doesn’t feel like this is a healthy relationship for Vanessa. Logan reminds her of Vanessa’s previous boyfriends (derogatory) and says the whole thing is “bad vibes.” Vanessa adds fuel to the fire when she recounts her version of the courtship with Logan, including the portion when she felt like she was in the friend zone. Hayley points out that there are many red flags—one of which is Logan’s insecurity about the age difference.

    But Vanessa isn’t ready to call it quits just yet, and she tells Logan about Hayley’s concerns. Their final conversation before the commitment ceremony is about getting to a place where they’re no longer fighting. Vanessa wants them to pick their battles and accept each other for who they are.

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

    Before spending some time alone, Logan says he feels nervous and anxious—part of him wants to commit, and part of him questions whether they’re too unsteady, playing into his fear of commitment. Their farewell is odd, as he treats it sort of like a breakup, telling her that she’s “one of the most amazing girls he’s ever met” and that “it’s weird to close this chapter.” Vanessa reads it that way, too, and starts to cry because she has PTSD from her past relationships not working out, and feels like this is another failed attempt. In a confessional, she recognizes that he’s “in the prime of his life right now…why would he give that up for someone 20 years older than him?”

    So, going into the Commitment Ceremony, it seemed extremely unlikely that Vanessa and Logan would choose to stay together. At the top of the mountain, she shares that she feels safe with Logan, and he acknowledges that Vanessa has made him a better man. Vanessa says that she’d like him to be part of her world moving forward, hoping that he reciprocates those feelings. Unfortunately, Logan initially seems to feel the opposite, questioning whether the chaos of their relationship was toxic or healthy. He asks her to return the promise ring. Heartbroken, she says she should’ve listened to her gut instinct about him, referring to their relationship as a square peg in a round hole.

    But seemingly forgetting the very real concerns of their volatile relationship, Logan shocks everyone and not only asks Vanessa to date him after the show, but gets down on one knee to pop the question. (Remember, this is not a requirement for Age of Attraction like it is on its sister show, Love Is Blind.) Vanessa, forgetting about her gut instinct again, is giddy about the turn of events and says yes to becoming Logan’s wife. So instead of leaving the experiment as boyfriend and girlfriend, these two head back to Ohio and Dallas completely (and unnecessarily) committed.

    Are Vanessa and Logan from 'Age of Attraction’ still together?

    In the biggest surprise of the Age of Attraction reunion (no shade, but let's be real), Vanessa and Logan are still happily engaged almost a year later. The tumultuous pair even went Instagram official after the finale's airing. (They'd been keeping the engagement a secret from family and friends until then.)

    Speaking to Tudum, the pair shared that their next step is to move in together by the fall, though they still need to figure out where they'll live. Logan even told the outlet how much he's changed since filming.

    "I was nervous about societal pressure and pushback from friends and family," he recalled, before sharing his new mindset. "Age doesn’t reflect interests, mindset, outlook, or alignment. Someone can be at a different stage in life, but if you share fundamental concepts that are core to the foundation of a relationship, age is just a number."
