As such, it's likely that he's no longer considered a demigod, thus fulfuling the criteria of Aphrodite's prophecy. Furthermore, so far, we haven't seen a potential love interest for Magnus in the MCGA series, something which is odd since the love interests for all major characters before were made somewhat apparent from the first book of the series. So perhaps that means Rick plans to have Magnus end up with Reyna during the inevitable crossover between the mythologies.

Oh, and a funny thought that just came to me. Reyna's name means queen, while Magnus' mother had once told him that their family was descended from kings, so there is also a king-queen analogy here. I think Magnus would end up with Sam and I have a reason. Let's compare it with Percabeth. In the beginning of Lightning Thief, Annabeth show no liking to Percy, but we later learn in Mark of Athena that she had a crush on him ever since they were 12. Up until Battle of the Labyrinth, Annabeth liked Luke. In the beginning of Sword of Summer, Sam thinks Magnus is annoying. Sam also is betrothed to Amir.

In both cases we have a "couple " who think each other is annoying (Percy and Annabeth, Magnus and Sam). We also have another guy who the girl likes (Luke, Amir).
