Summary

  • Hayley Hendrich said reliving her relationship on Netflix’s The Ultimatum has been “very hard” after ex-fiancé Blake Robertson’s October 2025 arrest over an alleged assault in Nacogdoches, Texas.
  • Hendrich said the breakup came in September 2025, they kept living together until late October, and the engagement had already been strained by resentment, emotional triggers and a lack of closure.
  • Blake Robertson and his attorney said the case was dismissed within a month, records were expunged, and Hendrich signed the affidavit; Robertson added they are still in contact ahead of the reunion.
  • The season 4 cast member said she regrets joining the dating experiment, believes she lost herself in the relationship, and is not ready to date again while she continues healing.
