Devi has had two primary love interests throughout most of Netflix’s Never Have I Ever — the heartthrob Paxton and her enemy-turned-lover, fellow scholar Ben. In season four, bad boy Ethan (Michael Cimino) enters the fray. Throughout the final season, several narratives unwind simultaneously, leaving Devi’s love life up in the air until the very end. 

Spoiler Warning for Never Have I Ever

In the final moments of Never Have I Ever, Ben travels back to San Fernando Valley from New York City to tell Devi he’s in love with her — in serendipitous rom-com fashion. The two decide to enter a relationship. Considering Ben will be in New York at Columbia and Devi in New Jersey at Princeton, it should be doable. However, many viewers have been on Team Paxton since the start and have some logical arguments as to why. Were Paxton and Devi the better endgame? Did the writers make the wrong choice?

Daxton will always have our hearts

benvi it's cute and has some really good tropes, but daxton will always be my endgame. they changed each other's lives, devi taught paxton to bring out the best in himself, and he taught her to love herself for what she is <3 #NeverHaveIEverpic.twitter.com/SpQJ5W43tw

Did Paxton treat Devi better than Ben?

notice how paxton has literally never made devi feel like she was too much or too weird, and when they were together he consistently told her that she was more than enough for him… that’s a #real man pic.twitter.com/TPGDPcMPbh

Paxton will always love Devi

it's very obvious that paxton still has feelings for devi, look at the way he hugged her, the way he looks at her, the way he kissed her. netflix i hate you!!!

When you think about it, Devi choosing Ben was a predictable conclusion

Y’all wondering if Devi will end up with Paxton or Ben when the answer has always been obvious. Mindy Kaling is Devi, Ben is BJ Novak. BJ Novak is the love of Mindy’s life. So if 2+2 is 4, Devi is ending up with Ben. Very unfortunate for Daxton fans 😭 #neverhaveiever pic.twitter.com/3cbCfScj5M
