In a sneak peek, he confronts speculation about his sexuality, particularly concerning assumptions regarding erectile dysfunction after his refusal to consummate his marriage with Becca Haley.
Social media buzzed with various theories, ranging from assumptions about his sexual orientation to suggestions of being a virgin or a “repressed Christian.” However, Austin is ready to set the record straight.
In a teaser for the final episode, the 32-year-old candidly discusses the speculations with castmate Michael Shiakallis and a friend, firmly denying the rumors.
“People saying I experience erectile dysfunction or that I’m a repressed Christian, and none of those things are true,” Austin asserts.

He goes on to explain that his decision to refrain from intimacy with Becca was simply about wanting to build a strong foundation before taking that step.
Meanwhile, Austin has moved on from Becca and is now in a relationship with someone unexpected—his roommate. Despite initial assumptions, it’s not the producer allegedly fired for inappropriate conduct with Austin.
Their relationship began after Austin returned home from filming the show, and the “Where Are They Now” special promises to delve deeper into their romance.
In the teaser, the couple discusses their relationship while seemingly on a double date with Chloe and Michael.
As the season wraps up, Austin Reed’s journey continues, filled with new beginnings and unexpected connections.
