At the time, Huda kept quiet when asked about Louis, citing “legal reasons,” a comment many connected to Netflix’s strict contractual obligations.
For weeks, fans were left guessing, until September 21, 2025, when Huda finally confirmed the romance by sharing a series of Instagram photos and a caption hinting that she was officially “off the market.” Since then, both have expressed a desire to keep things more private than their previous TV relationships.
Louis Russell Too Hot to Handle
Russell joined Too Hot to Handle season 5 expecting it to be a regular dating show where he could hook up with anyone he wanted. However, he soon found out that he was on a sexless retreat where he had to follow Lana’s strict rules or lose money from the $200,000 prize pool.
Louis struggled to resist temptation and broke several rules with different women. He also caused drama by leading on three women at once: Megan Thomson, Christine Obanor, and Hannah Brooke. He eventually settled for Christine, but not before kissing Hannah in bed and getting exposed by Lana.
Louis Russell is showing some villain tendencies on Too Hot to Handle season 5, but he also has a likable side. He is funny, confident, and charismatic.

Battle Camp (Season 1)
After Too Hot to Handle, Louis joined the Netflix competition series Battle Camp. The show combined strategy with physical endurance, and Louis quickly gained attention for his teamwork and social skills. However, his journey ended abruptly in Episode 5 after the elimination wheel twist sent him home despite not being voted out. This shocked both Louis and fans, who felt he had been playing a solid game.
During Battle Camp, Louis was also romantically linked to fellow contestant Brianna Balram (Too Hot to Handle alum). Their connection didn’t last beyond the show.
Perfect Match (Season 3)
Louis returned once more to Netflix with Perfect Match Season 3, where he was paired with Sandy Gallagher from The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On.

Season 3’s crown went to Lucy Syed and Daniel Perfetto.
After the show, Louis revealed that his time with Sandy taught him about communication and honesty. While their relationship didn’t work out, the two ended things on friendly terms.
