The Circle season 7 is almost over, with the finale episode coming out on October 2. The last installment of the season, i.e. episodes 9 to 12, was released on September 25, in which the fans got to witness The Circle's first even on-camera kiss— between Darian and Jadejha.
The duo had a showmance right from the beginning of the season because they related to each other's culture. From the get-go itself, they called each other #CircleWifey #CircleHusband. Because of their long-brewing chemistry, it was obvious for Darian to choose Jadejha when he was given a choice to meet one player after he was eliminated.
When the two met, they were glad to see that the other one wasn't a catfish. They reconfirmed with each other if they indeed were single. They then exchanged information about other players before kissing each other. Fans of The Circle reacted to this moment with excitement because many of them had been rooting for the couple since the start.
"OH MY GOD THEY KISSINGGGGG!" said one fan.
It’s me screaming like Jadejha when they started kissing cause we been rooting for this couple since the start," said another fan.
"Jadejha and Darian are so cute. The kiss was cute," a third one said.
"Okay this moment with Darian and Jadejah is soo cuteeee. I literally screamed when they started kissing!!" said another one.
Some The Circle fans complimented their chemistry while others noted the fact that it was the first kiss of the show.
"First #TheCircle kiss?!?!?! and possible wedding?!? Black people are killing it on reality tv this year. Their chemistry is so good, and their energy matches like," an X user wrote.
"Good lord I looked down to type, look up and I find them kissing. Issa match made in #TheCircleNetflix heaven," another X user wrote.
"Who else was blushing when Jadejha and Darian started kissing? Lmaoo," read another.
Darian and Jadejha's first meet on The Circle season 7 episode 9
When The Circle system said that Darian was on his way to meet one of the contestants, Jadejha almost knew he would show up. She tidied her place and spritzed some room freshener to welcome him. When he walked in, she screamed at the top of her voice.
Jadejha then asked him if he was actually single, and he said yes. When she asked her the same thing, she quipped that she was now married. She said she wore a size 5 ring and wanted six children. Darian joked that if she wanted to make that dream come true she'd have to win the $100,000 prize money.
Darian then disclosed that he put Kevin as his number one, but asked Jadejha to be cautious of him because he was eliminated under Kevin's influence. He also told her that Gianna had called Kevin a "backstabber".
He said he was glad to see his #CircleWife this early. Jadejha asked him how he liked Houston, her hometown, and Darian said he loved the city and was ready to move there. They then clicked two pictures on Jadejha's Polaroid camera— one for each— as a memory of their first meet. They then leaned towards each other and kissed.
