Are You the One? host, Catfish: The TV Show co-host, and relationship expert Kamie Crawford is now the host of MTV's newest Ex on the Beach installment: Ex on the Beach Couples: Now or Never. The drama-infused global season sees six couples on the path to engagement face their exes head-on in a series of challenges designed to test their relationships.

Over the course of three phases (the Check In, the Departures, the Final Destination), the contestants — who are living in the same villa as their exes — must decide if their current relationships can move forward. Even if said "head-over-heels in love" couples eventually choose to commit to each other, they're certainly on a wonky path to the altar.

And though the show's relationship drama doesn't directly involve host Kamie — who also hosts the Relationsh*t with Kamie Crawford podcast — she's no stranger to dating mishaps. She was in a long-term relationship with Gordon "G" Dillard (and she talked about about getting married to him) for several years before splitting from him in 2022.

So, is the beloved former Miss Teen USA winner married or dating anyone in 2023? Let's explore Kamie's relationship history.

Is Kamie Crawford married? She confirmed her split from Gordon Dillard in early 2022.

When Kamie made her Catfish debut, she was in a relationship with music manager Gordon Dillard. The pair was together when Kamie secured a full-time spot on the popular MTV series, but they ultimately parted ways in early 2022.

The model went on the Lovers and Friends with Shan Boodram podcast in February 2022 to discuss how difficult her breakup from Gordon was.

"This breakup was the hardest — I think it was probably the second hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my entire life..." Kamie said on the series. "I legit thought that I was going to have to be hospitalized. I was losing my mind ... You have to kind of undo and unlearn and un-think and un-fantasize about the things that your life was supposed to be with this person."

Kamie went on to say that they both changed over the years, and that their dynamic had shifted.

"We both agreed that we had a power shift in our relationship," Kamie continued, before noting that the change was "off."

Though she said that the two still loved each other, they recognized that things weren't "right" in their romance anymore.

Kamie Crawford is a "serial monogamist," and she dated Gordon Dillard from 2016 until 2022.

Kamie seems to be living her best single life, but she did previously envision herself getting married to her now-ex Gordon.

"We've traveled the world together, met our personal goals, and made our dreams a reality together — all while being each [other's] rock through the hard times," Kamie wrote in the caption of an Instagram post in 2019. "Can't wait to see where the next 3+ a gazillion more years take us. I love you baby."

In a 2017 blog titled "Finding Your Soulmate," Kamie revealed her tips for a successful relationship. "I'm not married, I've never been engaged — I'm just a serial monogamist that has taken a lot of time getting to know herself, her wants, her needs," the TV personality shared.

"I've come to learn a lot about what love truly means just from the examples that have been set around me and what I’ve experienced," she added. "I can definitely say that my boyfriend G has taught me a lot about what love is supposed to look like."

The pair first met in May 2016, but they didn't start dating right away.

"He was literally my twin to the point where it was scary," Kamie confessed. "We started hanging out literally every day and before we both knew it, we were falling for each other and FAST. It felt so right and so natural, but also had us both a little shook."

The brunette beauty went on to gush, "He is incredible. He pushes me to always be the best me that I can be and doesn't stunt my hustle or try to dim my shine. He loves me unconditionally, but he's a man — so he puts me in my place when I need to be left on the shelf for a second."

Back in 2020, Kamie hinted at a possible engagement. The influencer admitted in a tweet that she was taken aback when her boyfriend said at the beginning of 2020: "We have like five weddings to go to this year and one to plan."

She later clarified, "Y'all gotta chill. I don't have my ring yet so don't give him too much credit just yet."

It does not appear as if Gordon and Kamie ever did get engaged, and the two are now on their own separate paths.

New episodes of Ex on the Beach Couples: Now or Never air on Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on MTV.
