With the Ted Lasso finale now streaming on Apple TV+, viewers are eager to find out if Ted gets back together with his wife Michelle. Let's delve into what we know.Ted, portrayed by Jason Sudeikis, found himself in the UK due to a combination of factors. He was hired by Rebecca as an act of self-sabotage and revenge against her ex-husband. Additionally, Ted wanted to give Michelle some "space" as their relationship faced difficulties. Despite attempting couples therapy, their love was unrequited, leading to their divorce. However, hints throughout Season 3 suggested a possible rekindling of their romance, especially with the introduction of Dr. Jacob.
While the finale doesn't explicitly confirm their reunion, it implies that Ted and Michelle get back together.
For those rooting for a Ted/Rebecca endgame, we apologize as they don't end up together. They share an emotional farewell, and though there's a teasing suggestion of a potential intimate encounter, it doesn't materialize.
During the final game of the season between Richmond and Manchester City, Michelle and their son Henry watch the match from the US. Their excitement contrasts with Dr. Jacob's disinterest, which visibly bothers Michelle and Henry. As the game unfolds, the episode cuts to scenes of Michelle and Henry passionately cheering alongside fans while Dr. Jacob remains detached. When Richmond emerges victorious, Dr. Jacob displays a smile of resignation.
The episode concludes with Ted returning home, and the absence of Dr. Jacob is notable. While we don't witness a physical embrace between Ted and Michelle, in the last scene, Michelle cheers Ted on from the sidelines as he coaches their son's soccer team.
So, are they back together? At the very least, it seems likely, but it's certain that Michelle has ended her relationship with Dr. Jacob. Fan opinions on this development vary, with some expressing disappointment and others supporting Ted's happiness.
"I'm more bothered by Michelle and Ted reuniting. Ted deserves someone who truly understands, respects, and appreciates him. He deserved a more substantial character arc than a complete circle," one fan expressed.
"Did Ted end up with Michelle again? It was left ambiguous, but it seemed like the ending had Ted looking at Michelle in the stands. If that's the case, I'm not thrilled. It also appears that things aren't going smoothly with Jacob. Michelle didn't appreciate this wonderful man, so she doesn't deserve him," another fan added.
However, not everyone is convinced of their reunion. "I don't think Ted and Michelle getting back together was implied. Perhaps it's just peaceful co-parenting without the presence of the disliked Jacob," one viewer theorized. "In my mind, Ted and Michelle are definitely not back together; they're simply co-parenting flawlessly," another viewer tweeted.
