Get ready for some serious romance because R&B icon Chilli and her boyfriend, actor Matthew Lawrence, are stepping into the hosting spotlight! The dynamic duo is set to co-host a brand-new reality dating series called “Second Chance Love” on Hallmark+. This exciting project promises to explore the complexities of rekindling past relationships.
A Romantic Italian Getaway
The show’s backdrop? The absolutely stunning coastline of Sardinia, Italy! Chilli, whose real name is Rozonda Thomas, and Lawrence will guide viewers and contestants through a journey of love and rediscovery. “This project is special to both Matthew and I for several reasons,” Chilli shared. “As executive producers and hosts, we can’t wait to share the inspiration behind the pursuit of true love. Working with Hallmark is a dream come true.”
What to Expect from ‘Second Chance Love’
Premiering on New Year’s Day, “Second Chance Love” will feature five couples who are traveling to Italy with the hope of reigniting a romance that faded years ago. “Is love in the air? We’re about to find out,” Lawrence teased in the trailer. “Five unique couples from across the country are about to join us to find out if a lost relationship might just be the love of a lifetime.”
Over two weeks, these couples, whose ages span from their 30s to their 70s and whose past relationships ended anywhere from five to 40 years ago, will dive deep into nostalgia, emotional reflection, and intimate dates. Guided by Chilli and Lawrence, they’ll revisit shared memories, confront lingering issues, and explore the possibility of building a new future together.
A Return to a Special Place
While this is Chilli and Lawrence’s first professional project together, Sardinia holds a special significance for them as a couple. They previously enjoyed a Mediterranean getaway there in June, sharing photos from their trip on Instagram. Their relationship first captured public attention in late 2022, and they’ve been going strong ever since.
