Interestingly, both Marlo and Scotley admit to being new to the world of blind dates, adding an extra layer of anticipation to their rendezvous.

As Marlo and Scotley finally come face to face, the chemistry is palpable, leaving viewers eager to see what lies ahead for this dynamic duo.

Are Marlo Hampton and Scotley Innis still together?
Marlo had dropped subtle hints earlier this year about being involved with someone special, although she kept the identity of this mysterious man under wraps. A closer look at her social media posts reveals no trace of Scotley or any other potential love interest. Regrettably, it seems that they are not together, contrary to what Marlo's personal handles might have suggested.
However, back in May, Marlo candidly shared with Entertainment Tonight, "He's nice looking. He's nice and he's tall, so right now I'm just having fun. I'm smiling every time I'm with him." Embracing the advice given by her friend Sheree Whitfield, Marlo adopted a carefree mindset, saying, "Just enjoy the moment, Marlo. Have fun because I'm one who overthinks everything like, 'OK, are we gonna be together in five years? Well, when are we gonna move in together? Or, what are we doing here?' So, I'm just having fun."
