In her season, which aired in 2023, Snyder came close to marrying Izzy Zapata on the finale. They were in the middle of their wedding, and he had even said "I do," but she declined. Instead, Snyder explained that she couldn't marry Zapata yet, because they had issues to sort out.
Snyder told Entertainment Weekly after the show's season finale in October that he was aware beforehand that she wasn't going to go through with the union.

"He knew that I wasn't saying yes, and he told me that he still wanted to say yes," she said. "He was worried about looking stupid or rejected up there, and I was like, 'Don't show up. I'll handle this.' It was more like he wanted everyone to know that the love was real and that he's saying, 'I'm always going to be a yes to you, even though I know you're not there.' Parts of it were sad for me, and the other parts were somewhat romantic, I guess, but it wasn't fun."
They ended their relationship afterward.
In the new footage Snyder shared, the words "She's happy" pop up on the screen.
