“Uglies” has recently joined the Netflix catalog and is already set to become one of the biggest streaming hits of the latter half of 2024! Based on the beloved novel by Scott Westerfeld, it’s a sci-fi tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
The story is set in a future where the world is lacking basic natural resources. To preserve humanity, scientists develop genetically modified orchids as a new energy source and introduce a surgical procedure at age 16 to ensure everyone is made “pretty,” aiming to prevent further chaos caused by imperfection.
The gripping plot is brought to life by a talented young cast, including Keith Powers. As the picture’s popularity grows, interest in his personal life has surged. Find out if he’s rekindled his iconic relationship with Ryan Destiny.
Are Ryan Destiny and ‘Uglies’ star Keith Powers still a couple in 2024?
While Hollywood is full of iconic relationships, the romance between singer Ryan Destiny and actor Keith Powers has certainly made its mark. Their paths first crossed in 2015 at a Teen Vogue party, and they quickly formed a connection. They kept their relationship private initially but made their public debut at the BET Awards in 2018.

Over the following years, they were known for their mutual support, sharing their love on social media, and appearing in various campaigns and magazine shoots as the quintessential couple. However, in 2022, they broke up, with People reporting that their split was due to a desire to focus on their careers.
In the world of showbiz, such breakups often don’t signify a permanent end, and Powers and Destiny seemed to follow this pattern. Although their reconciliation was never officially confirmed, there were several signs suggesting they might have gotten back together.
Throughout the two years following their split, they were seen together frequently. Notably, in August 2022, Destiny joined Powers and his family for his birthday weekend—a gesture that seemed more than just friendly. They continued to appear together at various events in 2023, including Coachella and the Tribeca Film Festival, where Destiny was Powers’ date for the premiere of his film “The Perfect Find”.
Their latest sighting was at the “ELLE Hollywood Rising” event on June 6, where they appeared to attend together and spend the whole evening in each other’s company. So, as of September 2024, it seems likely that they may have rekindled their relationship, although they have not confirmed it explicitly. Another possibility is that they are engaged in casual dating rather than a formal relationship. All things considered, it’s hard to believe they are just friends given their frequent appearances together.
