Adriana Russo ends up with Freddie O’Connell in Finding Her Edge.

Who does Adriana Russo end up with?

In the Netflix series Finding Her Edge , teen figure skater Adriana Russo spends most of the season tangled in a love triangle between:

• Freddie O’Connell, her first love and former skating partner.

• Brayden Elliott, her new partner with whom she fakes a relationship for publicity and sponsorships.

By the finale at the World Championships in Paris, Adriana realizes she’s still in love with Freddie and can’t fully move on with Brayden. After she and Brayden win Worlds, she publicly kisses Freddie, basically announcing that she chooses him over Brayden. This ends her partnership (and potential romance) with Brayden, but it clears the way for her and Freddie to reconcile romantically and on the ice.

Quick scoop on the ending

• Adriana and Brayden win the World Championships as partners.

• Right after, Adriana admits her heart belongs to Freddie and kisses him in front of everyone.

• Brayden, hurt and angry, walks away and ends their partnership.

• Adriana and Freddie get back together as a couple and plan to skate together again.

• Brayden later teams up with Freddie’s current partner Riley Monroe, setting up a future rivalry on the ice.

So if you’re just here for the relationship answer: Adriana chooses Freddie, and that’s who she ends up with romantically by the end of Season 1.

How fans and outlets describe it

Entertainment outlets and recaps all make it clear that Adriana’s final choice is Freddie:

• One breakdown of the finale flat-out states that Episode 8 confirms Adriana “ultimately ended up with Freddie.”

• Another ending explainer notes that the big “shock” is that she chooses Freddie over Brayden, because she can’t let go of her first love.

• Coverage of the World Championships storyline describes how she wins with Brayden, then immediately chooses Freddie, blowing up her on-ice partnership to follow her heart.

Fans on social media and forums often debate whether she made the right call, with some arguing that Brayden made her grow as a skater, while others think revisiting her first love with Freddie is the more emotionally honest move.

Little story-style recap

Think of Adriana’s arc like this: she’s a skater trying to save her family’s rink, stuck between a strategic partnership and her unresolved first love. Brayden offers her a new beginning, a fake-dating storyline that becomes surprisingly real, and a shot at gold. Freddie, on the other hand, represents the path she never really chose to leave—her father pushed that breakup, so emotionally, it’s unfinished business.

At Worlds, Adriana finally stops skating around her feelings. Winning with Brayden proves she can achieve her professional goals, but kissing Freddie right after the victory shows which relationship actually matters to her when nothing else is on the line. It’s messy, it hurts Brayden, and it risks her career stability, but dramatically, it fits her character: she ends up with Freddie, even if the ice is going to be very awkward next season.

TL;DR: Adriana Russo ends up with Freddie O’Connell by the end of Finding Her Edge Season 1, both romantically and as her future skating partner.
