In a twist that broke the show’s fourth wall, Angel started casually dating Jess, a female DJ signed to Playboy’s music arm. Their “sneaky link” montage—complete with matching silk robes and a hot tub confession—became a fan-favorite subplot. But when Jess hinted at monogamy, Angel pulled back, famously saying, “I don’t do cages, even pretty ones.” The storyline ended unresolved, but IG live hints suggest they still “hang out” off-camera.
One of the most talked-about "romantic-adjacent" storylines involved Angel’s complex relationship with the polarizing internet personality Trisha Paytas (who appeared as a friend of the cast).

Post-show reports suggested that the very fears showcased on the show—infidelity and neglect—became reality. Angel reportedly filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.

While the show kept the ex’s identity partially obscured (often referred to as "the one who got away" by bloggers), the storyline was clear: this man, a wealthy entrepreneur from Angel’s pre-Playboy days in Texas, was attempting to win her back.
