‘Age of Attraction’ Hosts Natalie Joy and Nick Viall Spill Major BTS Details on Vanelle and Jorge’s Breakup
Key Points Netflix’s latest reality dating show, Age of Attraction, premiered on March 11. 60-year-old attorney Jorge Sanchez and 27-year-old project manager Vanelle Fenmou broke up within the show’s first five episodes. The show’s hosts, Natalie and Nick Viall, just shared details about their breakup that we didn’t see pan out on screen. Netflix’s newest dating show, Age of Attraction, is truly wild. In case you haven’t already binged the first five episodes (which, let’s face it, you probably have), the premise is equal parts simple and unexpected. The social experiment follows 40 singles as they explore connections with each other, but there’s a catch: They don’t know each other’s ages until they confess their feelings upon entering the “Promise Room” together. Meaning: You could potentially be pursuing someone much older (or much younger) than you. It makes for comfy, sink-into-your-couch television, and honestly, fans have hosts Natalie Joy and Nick Viall to thank for bringing such chaos to our screens. A prime example of said chaos? The messy split between 60-year-old attorney Jorge Sanchez and 27-year-old project manager Vanelle Fenmou. While Vanelle claims their breakup “had nothing” to do with their 33-year age gap, Nick and Natalie have since provided some behind-the-scenes context we didn’t get to see in the show’s final cut. Netflix When it came time for Vanelle and Jorge to head into the Promise Room, Nick told Entertainment Weekly, “That was a scene we got to watch in real time. We were really excited because we knew two things: Vanelle was telling everyone on set that she was so grateful that she found her husband, and that her dad would not be okay with her dating anyone over 40.” He added, “We were not sure how that Promise Room would go. We were as glued to it as anyone. They’re fascinating individuals.” Aside from Vanelle’s dad taking issue with her partner being over 40, she and Jorge hit a wall in their relationship when it came to sexual intimacy. ICYMI, she initially told Jorge that she intended to stay celibate until marriage when they paired up in the Promise Room, and he later complained that she “controlled their intimacy” and wouldn’t allow certain things while hooking up during an argument. Netflix They eventually broke up after an off-camera altercation Jorge had with a “crazy guy” who had come up to them on the street. Vanelle admitted, “I felt uncomfortable in that situation, and I just felt like it could have been handled differently.” Nick weighed in on the moment with EW, adding, “I think there’s really interesting conversations about communication and how important that is in relationships. There was a lot of mutual respect and love between the two of them, but they, obviously, had some things they had a hard time working through.” Will we see more of Jorge and Vanelle as Age of Attraction pans out? We’ll have to see when the next batch of episodes hits Netflix on Wednesday, March 18. Watch ‘Age of Attraction’ on Netflix
