Roxanne Kaiser
Episode 33: Roxanne Kaiser
In a refreshingly candid episode of Weddings-ish with Jove, host Jove Meyer welcomes Roxanne Kaiser—entrepreneur, wellness advocate, and reality TV alum from The Ultimatum Season 2. Right out of the gate, Roxanne leans into her reputation on the show, laughing off the "villain" label and reclaiming her narrative with honesty and grace. While editing may have played its part, Roxanne makes it clear: everything she said and did came from a real place. That authenticity sets the stage for a deeply resonant conversation about modern love, commitment, and personal growth.
For those unfamiliar, The Ultimatum is a reality show with a wild premise—couples at a crossroads agree to date other people before deciding whether to stay together or part ways. Roxanne dives into her emotional experience on the show, recalling what it felt like to be engaged while watching her partner, Antonio, pursue other connections. It was intense, raw, and at times painful—but it also forced reflection. Her vulnerability is striking, offering a window into the emotional toll such an unconventional relationship experiment can take.
Listeners get a more intimate look at Roxanne and Antonio’s love story too. The couple first met nine years ago, but it wasn’t until 2020 that they began seriously dating. Their relationship has weathered its fair share of storms, and Roxanne doesn’t sugarcoat any of it. In fact, that honesty is what makes her journey so relatable—especially her emphasis on how crucial it is to be ready for commitment, not just pressured into it. The takeaway? Growth, both personal and relational, takes time.
Roxanne’s drive extends far beyond her romantic life. A true entrepreneur, she talks about her thriving line of nipple covers and her mental wellness company—both of which speak to her passion for confidence and care. Her background as the child of immigrants helped shape her strong work ethic, something she openly admits can clash with Antonio’s more easygoing nature. But instead of glossing over it, Roxanne leans into the tension, exploring how differences in ambition can challenge and strengthen a partnership.
One of the most touching segments of the episode centers on Roxanne’s wedding journey. Despite being someone who was never sold on marriage, she surprised even herself by going all in—planning a grand celebration at Chateau Loma that was equal parts glamorous and meaningful. Yet, she’s quick to acknowledge that the process wasn’t seamless. Her frustrations with her wedding planner serve as a cautionary tale for any couple: find a planner who really gets you. Her experience is a reminder that even dream weddings can come with logistical hiccups.
As the conversation winds down, Roxanne reflects on what’s next: family planning, navigating societal pressures, and staying true to herself in every phase of life. Her story is one of duality—vulnerability and strength, independence and partnership. And it’s exactly that balance that makes this episode so impactful.
