The Truth About Too Hot To Handle's Melinda Melrose

According to Reality Titbit, Melinda Melrose is one of 16 children, which may have had influence on her desire to want to stand out, leading her to becoming a model and eventually appearing in a reality television series. Her Instagram bio, where she has amassed over 44,000 followers, says that she "built a runway I'm not too short for," which shows her tenacity for growth. 

This could be why she's interested in the show. According to Celebs In-Depth, Melrose has been dating her boyfriend, Darius Goodworth, for seven years, and the two may have just temporarily put their relationship on hold so that she could film "Too Hot to Handle" to boost her career. 

Goodworth is a registered nurse, and Celebs In-Depth reports that he still shares photos and videos of Melrose on his Instagram Story, so it appears they're still together. While Melrose states she's going on the show to find a man that can "keep up with her," she could simply be saying this to maintain her single appearance while actually still dating Goodworth back home.
