Who is still together from Building the Band?
Overview of all six bands
- 3QUENCY – Girl group, winner of the competition. Still together post‑show (TV Insider).
- Midnight Til Morning – Mixed‑gender group. Remained intact despite multiple bottom‑two finishes (Betches).
- SZN4 – Group of four. Status is still unconfirmed (TV Insider).
- Conor & Alison – Romantic duo that formed when Conor left Midnight Til Morning for Alison (Betches).
- Belle & Harrison – Romantic duo from the show. Post‑show relationship status unknown.
- Rico & Jamari – Duo highlighted by Catfish host Nev Schulman. Their current partnership status is unclear.
Detailed status of each band
3QUENCY was declared the winner and has stayed together, according to TV Insider. The group is reportedly working on new music. Midnight Til Morning, despite constant bottom‑two appearances, not only stayed intact but flew to Sydney two weeks after the competition and has a full album ready to go (Betches). Mason Watts, a 25‑year‑old member from Australia, is part of the group (Wikipedia). SZN4’s status remains unconfirmed; no official statement has been released. Conor and Alison left the competition as a duo and are believed to still be together, but no direct source has verified it. Belle and Harrison also have an unconfirmed status. Rico and Jamari’s partnership outcome is unknown.
Midnight Til Morning spent three months in the studio after the show and is teasing a single called “Bye” – a comeback that defied their track record of being in the bottom two every week (Betches).
Are Connor and Alison still together?
Their relationship timeline on the show
According to Betches, Conor (a member of Midnight Til Morning) ditched his band for Alison during the competition, creating a romantic duo that became a fan favorite.
Current status of their relationship
No official statement or social media post has confirmed whether they are still together. Their post‑show activity remains private, so their relationship status is unconfirmed.
Without a public update, viewers can only assume the pair is still together based on lack of a split announcement – but no source has confirmed it.
Are SZN4 still together?
Group updates and member activities
As of late 2025, TV Insider lists SZN4’s status as unconfirmed. No music releases, social media activity, or public statements have appeared since the show ended.
The implication: Without any concrete evidence, it’s reasonable to assume the group has either disbanded quietly or is in a holding pattern.
Are 3Quency still together?
Reinvention statement from 3Quency
3QUENCY – the winning girl group – is still together after the show ended, according to Betches. A representative from the group mentioned that they are reinventing themselves post‑show, though exact details of the transformation have not been shared.
Post‑show updates
No new music has been released yet, but insiders suggest the group is reportedly in studio sessions. The band’s future direction remains under wraps.
3QUENCY won $500,000 but has yet to release any debut single – fans are waiting to see whether the prize fund translates into actual music (Wikipedia).
Are Belle and Harrison together?
Their story on the show
Belle and Harrison were among the romantic duets formed during the competition. No direct source has confirmed their post‑show status.
Current status of their relationship
The trade‑off: Without a public statement or social media evidence, their relationship falls into the “what’s unclear” column. Fans hoping for a fairytale ending will have to wait for an update.
Are Rico and Jamari still together?
Nev Schulman’s reflection on their relationship
Nev Schulman, the host of Catfish, was featured on the show and commented on Rico and Jamari’s dynamic, noting the pressure of a reality‑TV partnership.
Current status as of 2025
Rico and Jamari’s current relationship status is unconfirmed. No statement from either member or the production team has clarified whether they remained a duo after the show.

The remaining four bands (SZN4, Conor & Alison, Belle & Harrison, Rico & Jamari) have not provided updates, leaving their futures uncertain. If you want to follow what happens next, keep an eye on the band’s social media accounts; otherwise, the stage is set for an eventual split or a quiet fade.
