Fitness+ Apple watch 5 series cellular not connecting to Apple TV 4k

After installing the latest updates to both Apple TV 4K and Watch series 5, when trying to connect, the apple watch just says “connecting” and eventually stops trying. I’ve restarted/reboot both devices, checked all the settings, signed in an out of iCloud, but the problem persists. All worked fine before the recent updates. My iPhone XR connects to fitness+ and my watch connects to my phone fitness+, but somehow the watch and the tv marriage is on the rocks.
