Yes, they are still in love. Yes, they did break up. There's no way to say if they will get back together. I hope they do. There is a substantial chance that they will get back together, but it is far from certain. The reason the show gives for the break up is that they are too different and need to grow up more before they date. I don't buy that at all. The arc was about them proving they could withstand anything and stay together. I think the real reason they broke up has to do with real life, not the storyline of the show.

Yyanks28 and @Gwevin are both right, but in different ways. @Gwevin is talking about ratings in the short term and @Yanks28 was talking about the long term. In the short term, the breakup was filmed months before the ratings drop. So it's not like Dan saw the ratings go down and then decided to break them up. In the long term, Dan was concerned with ratings. The decision to break them up came long before the drop in ratings. His logic was that in the long term, he would get more ratings if the Seddie/Creddie question remained undecided. He wanted to keep some of the suspense. The decision to break them up was to keep ratings higher in the long term by maintaining the suspense, not some knee-jerk reaction to falling ratings. The fact that the whole thing was planned out makes me wonder about what Dan is trying to pull. If he knew that they were going to break up, why did he spend iLMM, iDSaF, and iCTI showing how Seddie could get through anything intact? If he intended for them to break up, he could have planned ahead so that a break up would make sense in the storyline. This makes me think he did it to screw with us.
