Xanthi and Stevan were a match that fans thought was going to last for long on Perfect Match season 2. However, they broke up on episode 4 titled Truth Bombs, which aired on June 7, 2024. This happened after Stevan was sent on a date with Alara and later chose to pair up with her, while Xanthi was sent packing.
Stevan and Xanthi lived as a couple only for one episode of the show. They were previously matched with Micah and Kaz respectively, who swapped their places and became a couple on their own. When Micah and Kaz won the compatibility challenge, they decided to send Stevan and Alara on a date.
Subsequently, Stevan chose Alara as his match over Xanthi. This eventually resulted in Xanthi leaving the show because she didn't have a connection with any other men in the villa.

Why did Stevan and Xanthi separate on Perfect Match season 2?
Stevan and Xanthi separated in episode 4 after Stevan went on a date with Alara in episode 3, titled Chaos Theory. He was torn between the two ladies and couldn't decide on who among the two he should go with. Stevan's inclination towards Alara was apparent in his chat with Kaz. When the latter asked him how he felt, Stevan said he was stuck and felt like kissing Alara on their date. He then told Kaz:
"I know I asked to go on the date, and that's my bad".
In a confessional of Perfect Match, Stevan noted that one of the two things could happen:
"Go with my match, currently Xanthi, which would make our relationship stronger to a degree, or I can follow my heart and try to match with Alara but kinda put my head on the chopping block".
The only downside Stevan thought of matching with Alara was that later in the show, she could find a better connection with someone else and move on with them. But seeing Alara talking to Dom solidified Stevan's inclination towards her and he walked up to Xanthi to end things.
Stevan told Xanthi that his Perfect Match date with Alara went well and that he wanted to kiss her when they spent time together. Xanthi then asked him if he would pair with Alara and continue to get to know her better.
Stevan replied that he had "a lot of love" for Xanthi but that night he wanted to choose Alara to see what their connection was like. She then responded that it was a big move and that she hoped it would work out the way Stevan wanted it to.
Stevan and Xanthi's relationship before they broke up in episode 4 of Perfect Match season 2
In episode 2 of Perfect Match season 2, Kaz felt a connection with Stevan's former partner, Micah, who was also inclined towards Kaz. Xanthi and Micah being good friends chatted on how they felt about it.
Micah told Xanthi that she was drawn to Kaz but wouldn't go forth with it if Xanthi didn't want her to. Xanthi shared that Kaz wanted someone who was more affectionate and since she herself would take the time to open up, so she might not be the best match for him. Therefore, Xanthi green-lit Micah's decision to match with Kaz and suggested they swap partners because she was down to know Stevan more.
When Xanthi and Micah discussed their decision with Stevan and Kaz, the boys were in disbelief because they had discussed the same topic. When Xanthi and Stevan thought of pairing up, Xanthi said in a confessional:
"My mind is telling me 'Don't go for it. It's not gonna last' nut my body is telling me. 'You know what? I'm kinda down for it'."
Her assumptions about the longevity of her match with Stevan turned out to be right, as he later paired with Alara.
The finale episode of Perfect Match season 2 will drop on June 21, on Netflix.
