Can virtual love conquer real-world awkwardness? OWN’s “The Never Ever Mets” returns to tackle that very question this Friday, bringing seven couples together for the first time after they’ve built relationships solely online. Season two kicks off with a mix of nervous excitement, hidden anxieties, and the potential for immediate combustion as these digital romances get a real-world test drive.
Among the couples making their in-person debuts are Charli and Jared, a pair with over four years of online history – and some hefty secrets they’ve kept from each other. Will their virtual connection survive a dose of reality? Meanwhile, plus-sized model Keke exudes confidence, but nerves flicker beneath the surface as she prepares to meet Brandon. He, in turn, has discovered something about Keke’s habits that’s giving him pause.
The premiere episode will focus on those crucial first dates, where the couples finally discover if their online chemistry translates into actual sparks. It’s a high-stakes social experiment, where the potential for either heartwarming connection or spectacular disaster is equally high. “The Never Ever Mets” airs Friday, April 4th at 8:00 PM on OWN.
