The Circle Season 7: Darian Holt and Jadejha Edwards’ Flirty Showmance Heats Up – But Is It Real?

Season 7 of The Circle featured strategic alliances, secret plans, and unexpected romances. However, the flirty connection between Darian Holt and Jadejha Edwards stood out. From their first interaction, sparks flew. Viewers were eager to support their budding romance.

Darian, a 29-year-old teacher, was instantly attracted to Jadejha. He called her “attractive, smart, and genuine,” saying she had “it all.” This made fans wonder if their bond would go beyond the game.

Likewise, Jadejha was excited about Darian. She admitted her heart raced during their first chat. Soon, they became the season’s most talked-about couple. Fans dubbed them #CircleHusband and #CircleWife.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Darian. As alliances shifted and the game took unexpected turns, his trust in fellow player Kevin “K Fern” Fernandez was tested.

Ultimately, Darian found himself on the chopping block in Episode 9. However, before his exit, Darian had one final opportunity to meet with a player face-to-face—and naturally, he chose Jadejha.

The Circle: Darian Holt’s Final Moments with Jadejha Edwards

Darian and Jadejha’s chemistry soared when he, before leaving, met her for a private talk. Their playful dynamic was evident as Jadejha, upon learning Darian was single, let out an excited scream.

“Technically, I’m married now,” she teased, fully embracing their “Circle” relationship. They even shared a kiss and snapped Polaroid photos to capture the moment.

Viewers couldn’t help but wonder if their connection would survive outside the game. “Jadejha is a queen,” Darian said proudly, as the two expressed admiration for each other.

Although Darian was eliminated, his exit left fans hoping that this connection might grow beyond The Circle.

The Circle: Darian’s Strategic Decisions and the Backlash

Beyond the showmance, Darian Holt’s gameplay stirred up plenty of drama. Darian, a key member of the “Bro’s Alliance” with K Fern and Andy (played by Heather Richh), faced tricky social waters.

He revealed in an interview with Collider that he didn’t initially want to put a target on Jadejha’s back by making her an influencer. “I knew 100 percent, the moment I made her an influencer, she would have had a target on her back,” he explained, adding that after a blocking, things always got “nasty.”

Instead, Darian chose to trust K Fern-an alliance decision that would later backfire. K Fern, swayed by players like Madelyn Rusinyak, voted against Darian, causing his shocking exit.

Reflecting on the betrayal, Darian admitted, “Kevin gained my trust at the very beginning… but as the season goes on, he was not a bro’s bro and was easily manipulated.”

Darian didn’t leave without warning Jadejha, though. During their final meeting, he cautioned her about Kevin’s true intentions. “Madelyn mastered him perfectly,” Darian said of Kevin’s choices. He meant her strategy caused much of the drama that led to his elimination.

Does no one else find it weird everyone Madelyn seems to have an issue with in #TheCircle is black? Am I the only one that’s noticed that? She literally created a whole lie and because of that lie, Darian went home #TheCircleNetflix
