Remember Keith Manley from Married at First Sight season 9? After splitting from Iris Caldwell, he is now dating American R&B singer Ari Lennox.

So what’s going on? What have we missed since we last saw him? This Keith Manley biography explores his life.

Meet Keith Manley, Ari Lennox’s Rumored Boyfriend

In June 2022, Keith Manley was first seen with Ari Lennox at a wedding in San Diego. Sharing IG photos of them from that day—one of which showed them tied in a loving embrace—Ari sparked rumors that she had found a new lover.

News of the two coming together comes nearly seven months after Ari admitted she’s “unlucky” in love on an episode of If Not For My Girls. “I’m just bored,” Ari Lennox explained at the time. “I’m bored! Or I’ll find someone who’s super interesting and then be like, it sucks. And I’m sorry, but that’s important. Or you’re scared of my dog! Like, grow up! It’s the sweetest thing,” she added.

The Washington DC soul singer was previously rumored to have been romantically linked to rappers J. Cole and Moneybagg. She also had a long-term boyfriend before her rise to fame.

MAFS: Keith Manley and Iris Caldwell’s Relationship

Keith Manley was paired with Iris Caldwell on season 9 of Married at First Sight. With similar backgrounds and religious beliefs, the two initially seemed to get along well.

However, Iris is immature and inexperienced in love beyond the bedroom. This tires Keith out and in the end, even though Iris wants to be together on Decision Day, Keith Manley decides to leave.

The temporary couple later officially divorced in late 2020.

It was also later revealed that Iris had not given her virginity to Keith during their marriage. According to Iris, Keith had not opened and closed enough to build the intimacy she wanted. As for Keith, he felt it was not his job to take her virginity. Furthermore, because Iris was still immature, Keith was tired of the whole thing by the end of the film.

For those who missed Iris on MAFS, she’s a non-profit program coordinator who has chosen to remain a virgin until marriage. Religion plays a big part in her life, and she wants a husband who believes in traditional gender roles.
