On “Are You the One?”, Longo struck up a romantic relationship with co-star Hannah Rathbun.

Hunter Barfield was deemed to be Rathbun’s Perfect Match, and Kayla Brackett was Longo’s. However, After AYTO? aired in 2015, Longo and Rathbun remained in a relationship, where they made a lot of videos together for YouTube and an app called Vine, which is now defunct.
