As a seasoned observer of reality TV romances, it’s always intriguing to see where the stars of Love is Blind end up after their whirlwind journey through the pods. It seems that each couple has a unique story to tell, and some more tumultuous than others.


Get ready for another post-pod reveal.

Since the filming of Love Is Blind season seven, Hannah Jiles, one of the contestants, has embarked on a transformative health trip. Not too long ago, this Netflix personality flaunted her latest appearance on TikTok by employing popular music.

On October 7th, I enthusiastically shared a video of myself, where I was donning a sleek black mini-dress and emulating Dakota Fanning’s iconic line from the movie “Uptown Girls.” I quoted, “Take a look around, can you spot her? News flash. You’re not gonna find her here.

Hannah, who became engaged to Nick Dorka on the program, titled the video, “The same person, but with a more positive outlook on life.

In a post, her co-star Marissa George commented on “A year of growth,” and Hannah responded with a growing plant emoji.

In the pods, Hannah spoke about her struggles with her fluctuating weight and being judged for it.

She expressed during the first episode of ‘Love Is Blind’ that it’s been quite challenging for her to find a husband due to people focusing too much on superficial aspects. She explained that even if you’re an outstanding individual with a captivating appearance and charming personality, if there’s a slight excess weight, it seems to deter potential suitors.

The outcome of Hannah and Nick’s relationship is yet unclear, with fans eagerly anticipating upcoming episodes. However, their interactions have been tense since their face-to-face revelation and continued to be strained even during their time in Mexico, as Hannah wrote a list of pros and cons about her fiancé.

In a recent interview with TopMob News’ Francesca Amiker, I shared that she had definitely left the list for me to find, placing it next to my bed. Expressing feelings can be done in various ways; perhaps if we could’ve had a straightforward chat about it, it might have saved some confusion.

As a lifestyle expert, I shared during my interview with TopMob News that our perspectives are remarkably distinct. We communicate in unique ways, and it’s evident that we perceive things differently. To put it simply, what he experiences might be his personal truth, while what I observe is mine, and I strongly believe these realities don’t align.

Following several spats during the course of the season, Chelsea and Jimmy seemed to bury their past differences during a fun-filled amusement park date, just prior to their upcoming nuptials.

Yet, it was evident that Jimmy wanted their rollercoaster relationship to conclude, as he ended his engagement with Chelsea, leaving her in tears due to the unexpected choice.

Jimmy expressed his deep feelings for Chelsea during their date, saying, “I’m head-over-heels in love with you and I yearn for a committed relationship. However, despite my strong desire for it to succeed, I just don’t feel ready to take that next step—I can’t.

He clarified that they’ve boiled it down to a single point of contention, but originally, it encompassed five or six major topics that deeply affected him emotionally. (One such issue was Chelsea revealing Jimmy’s past relationship with his friend.)

Following another round of discussions regarding their past relationships, Chelsea departed tearfully, saying, “I had such high hopes for us.

The pair were both single during the March 2024 reunion.

As Clay voiced his doubts about marriage, stemming from his perspective on his father’s unfaithfulness, AD offered him comfort and confidence in their relationship, suggesting everything was going smoothly for them.

However, when it came time for him to make a lifelong commitment at the altar, Clay chose not to, explaining to AD that it was irresponsible of him to marry since he wasn’t prepared.

Cue the shock.

He assured AD that he would put in the effort, and they would face this situation together. Regardless of what others might think, he acknowledged that he isn’t prepared for marriage at this moment, and she deserves nothing less than the best. If he isn’t ready to commit fully, he won’t take her there until he is. At this point in time, he can’t give a definite yes.

It was a revelation that made AD declare through tears that the relationship was a waste of her “f–king time.”

Regarding Clay, he disclosed that both financial and emotional factors significantly influenced his decision to leave. He questioned himself, “Am I a married man?” to which he replied in the negative. When asked if he was deeply in love, he answered negatively as well.

At the reunion, Clay admitted he had erred by wanting to date AD, but she seemed hesitant about the possibility of reconciling.

AD openly admitted that following the conclusion of filming, she went out on a few dates with her costar, Matthew Duliba. However, it’s important to note that their relationship is not ongoing at this time.

Initially intense, Brittany and Kenneth’s love story lost its spark when they re-entered everyday life.

According to Brittany, things changed significantly when they returned home from their time in the pods. At the pods, their passion and intensity were at an all-time high. However, this fervor seemed to diminish slightly once they got back home.

In a twist of fate, their past engagement didn’t break their friendship. As expressed by Brittany during the reunion, “Though our romantic connection has ended, the tie that binds us is strong enough to endure for all time.

At the gathering in March 2024, it came to light that Jeramey had an on-and-off relationship with Sarah Ann for approximately a year, starting from when they worked together on the show. However, they have parted ways since then.

During season five, the couple encountered several challenges – among them were Izzy’s prior relationship with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s specific demands about her lifestyle and dinnerware (she preferred real dishes over paper ones). However, Stacy pointed out Izzy’s deceit regarding his credit history as a significant factor that led to their decision against marriage.

Though Stacy didn’t say “I do” at the altar, she still wished to continue the relationship with heartbroken Izzy.

“We’re at different spots,” he told her. “It really breaks my heart.”

Concerning Stacy, she appreciated Izzy for helping her open up emotionally, yet she wasn’t fully convinced about their long-term prospects. She shared that being “fairly certain” wasn’t enough for her to commit to a lifelong decision.

Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.

Season five’s sole success story came from arguably its most unlikely pairing. 

Following an initial hiccup when it emerged that Lydia was romantically involved with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s fellow pod-resident, before the show commenced, only these geology enthusiasts managed to maintain their relationship throughout the entire experiment.

Lydia exclaimed, “Marrying is realizing a long-held dream!” She was overcome with joy and felt as if she had all she needed right there. It felt comforting, it felt secure, just like being at home.

As an analytically minded engineer, Milton concluded, “The evidence from all the data points suggests that this is the best choice I can make.

For this couple, opposites drew them together throughout the entire season, that is, until their wedding day. Noticing Paul’s reservations, Micah requested that he express his feelings first. Unfortunately, Paul decided against marriage.

1) Micah expressed that he feels as though everything’s fallen apart, he said. If Paul had proposed marriage, there’s no doubt in my mind he would have enthusiastically agreed, Micah added.

At the gathering, Paul expressed regret for his remark made during a private conversation where he stated that he couldn’t envision Micah as a mother.

Paul clarified, “What I said earlier was not fair to her, and I should have put it differently. A more appropriate way to express my thoughts might be that I don’t envision ourselves in a parental role.

After wrapping up filming, the pair attempted a reconciliation, but unfortunately couldn’t maintain it. Paul clarified that their split was permanent as he paid a visit to Micah in Arizona.

In the novel “After the Altar“, Paul disclosed that he had started seeing a new companion, who took pleasure in exploring new places and appreciated his culinary abilities. Later on, they made their relationship Instagram official with beauty specialist Geneva Dunham.

Although my mother declined to join me at the wedding and there were some questionable discussions I had with Micah within the pods, our relationship with Chelsea led us to become one of the three couples who exchanged vows at the conclusion of season four.

At the gathering, Chelsea disclosed that she had recently met her husband’s mother. Meanwhile, Kwame expressed regret towards his wife and their entire family, admitting that his conversations with Micah were not the most favorable depiction of him.

It’s been suggested that love is oblivious, but sometimes it takes a bit of time—or even finding yourself with another woman—to understand you’ve made a mistake. This is exactly what happened when Zack first got engaged to Irina Solomonova, but the couple eventually split up during their vacation in Mexico.

Following Bliss’ request for another opportunity, the duo bravely disregarded the odds (and Bliss’ father’s preferences) and exchanged wedding vows at the altar. (By the way, they didn’t just watch from the sidelines; instead, they danced to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” a song that connected them in their shared pod.)

Following the broadcast of their final episode, Zack posted a picture of the couple on Instagram accompanied by the caption “Everlasting Happiness”.

The couple shared in November 2023 that they are expecting their first baby.

Spectators looked on with concern as Jackie decided to offer another opportunity to Josh Demas, the other person she had bonded with in the pods, instead of continuing her relationship with Marshall, by arranging a meeting with him prior to ending their engagement.

During the gathering, Jackie clarified the sequence of occurrences that had been in question. “I ended things with Marshall prior to meeting Josh at the café,” she explained. “It seems like I was unfaithful. However, let me assure you, I am not a cheater.

Jackie later spoke about her split with Marshall, acknowledging that she bears responsibility for her speech and behavior during their relationship. Essentially, she explained they simply weren’t destined for each other.

From my perspective, speaking as a lifestyle advisor, regarding my personal relationship with Josh, we were still going strong, sharing our lives in the series “After the Altar”. However, during an Instagram Live session in September 2023, I shared the unfortunate news that we had parted ways.

Regarding Marshall, he shared with TopMob that following the competition, he had a short interaction with another contestant named Kacia Clark. In his own words, “We made an effort,” Marshall said, “However, I decided it was best for me to keep some distance from all of that post-experience.

Nancy and Bartise’s wedding at “Love is Blind” was exceptionally dramatic, yet it wasn’t due to either the bride or the groom causing a stir.

In the climactic episode of season three, I found myself eagerly anticipating my upcoming marriage. However, Bartise expressed doubts about our relationship just as the wedding bells were ringing. This revelation understandably upset my family, who didn’t hesitate to voice their disapproval directly towards Bartise.

Regardless of their ups and downs, Bartise and Nancy have managed to keep a relationship that’s more like a roller coaster than a steady friendship. As Bartise put it in an interview with TopMob, “It’s gone from us being friends, to barely knowing each other, back to no contact at all, and then back to being friends again.

In April 2023, Bartisse, a contestant from the show “Perfect Match,” revealed the birth of his baby boy named Hayden. However, he has not disclosed the mother’s identity in public.

Several months later, he debuted his new romance with Cait Vanderberry on Instagram.

Nancy is currently involved in a fresh romance, though she hasn’t disclosed the identity of her partner in public yet.

Well, we can’t say we’re surprised by this breakup.

During their romantic relationship, it often felt like Zanab and Cole were not in agreement, leading to numerous disagreements. Despite reaching the wedding altar, Zanab expressed her feelings by saying, “You’ve shown disrespect towards me, you’ve insulted me, you’ve criticized me, and for good measure, you’ve single-handedly destroyed my self-esteem.

Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.

He shared with TopMob News that despite encountering various obstacles, they were managing and discovering calmer seas. He expressed his hope that they could carry on their journey, even if they didn’t get married on that specific day.

Regardless of the ups and downs they experienced in their romantic journey, the couple remained certain about their bond and joyfully exchanged their vows.

In an TopMob News interview, he revealed that he was single after filming.

Despite Natalie and Shayne not getting married on the show, Natalie assured TopMob that the love stories depicted were entirely sincere.

Natalie clarified, “This isn’t a reality show; it’s an honest portrayal of our true lives, genuine emotions, and authentic relationships.

This is why Natalie felt deeply wounded when it appeared that Shayne had decided to join the cast of the spinoff series “Perfect Match” despite their efforts to rebuild their relationship following their failed marriage.

She shared on Instagram that he repeatedly messaged her during filming expressing a desire to quit because he hadn’t gotten over his feelings for her following our encounter at the reunion show taping. However, she encouraged him to carry on with the shooting.

After completing work on “Perfect Match,” Natalie admitted that she reunited with Shayne, however, in the end, she chose to part ways and not rekindle their relationship.

Without any doubt, the strongest and apparently happy pair from the pod team got married officially. They went ahead with the wedding, even after a brief hesitation on Lauren’s side initially.

As I reflect back on December 2019, it seems that both Cam and I shared snaps of our tropical getaway in Cancun – quite serendipitously, we didn’t tag each other or post any photos featuring one another. However, a curious detail caught my eye: we were both sporting the same pair of sunglasses! Now, I wonder if we unknowingly bumped into each other on that beautiful beach or perhaps we share a similar sense of style… It’s always fascinating to see life’s little coincidences, isn’t it?

Furthermore, Lauren shared during a chat with Elite Daily that they remain a couple. In fact, they are overjoyed and constantly discover new aspects about one another, which only serves to deepen their affection for each other even more.

Cameron shared a picture taken on their wedding day, with the accompanying comment, “The best day of my life!

If you believed these two were destined to get married despite all the hurdles they faced over time (like the significant age gap, Jessica’s attraction towards Barnett, her lack of physical interest in Mark, and more), then, my dear, you truly are an optimist at heart.

After their cancelled wedding, it was Jessica who ended things, as reported in the New York Post in February 2020. Since then, Mark has stated that he hasn’t spoken to Jessica since that day, although he did attempt to contact her once.

He mentioned that he hadn’t received a response yet, but to him, it felt like spreading affection. Moreover, he emphasized that the LIB experiment remained his most significant experience to date. In essence, he stated that without Jessica, there wouldn’t be the person he is today.

Mark and Aubrey Rainey wed in September 2022. Their sons, Ace and Axton, served as ring bearers.

In August 2022, Jessica tied the knot with Dr. Ben McGrath, who is a podiatrist. Their family expanded in June 2023 when they had a baby boy named Dax.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must share with you one unexpected twist from the hit show “Love is Blind.” In a moment that left viewers stunned, I – Damian – confessed to Giannina that I had reservations about tying the knot at the altar. This revelation, coming right before the ceremony, sent shockwaves through the audience and added another layer of intrigue to the already captivating series.

However, the duo surprised everyone once more as they disclosed their reconciliation during the season one reunion. Sadly, they split up once more, with Giannina confirming to TopMob News in August 2021 that she was now single.

Subsequently, she discovered love on another reality program, where she developed a romantic relationship with Blake Horstmann from Bachelor Nation following their encounter during the filming of All Star Shore in 2022. In November 2023, she revealed that they are expecting a child together.

In the meantime, Damian ignited speculations about a romantic relationship with former participant of Too Hot to Handle, Francesca Farago. They were reportedly in a relationship during the spinoff series Perfect Match, following her surprising cameo during Love Is Blind: After the Altar.

Alas, Damian and Francesca left Perfect Match single.

Audience members were taken aback when Kelly disclosed that she hadn’t developed a genuine physical attraction towards Kenny, and thus decided against proceeding with the marriage, a decision that came as quite a shock to her family.

Ever since their wedding day, Kenny has relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, leaving Kelly behind in Atlanta where she continues her work as a health and empowerment coach. A recent Instagram post of hers addresses the topic of being single in your 30s: “I’ve learned to set boundaries. I value myself so much that I won’t settle for a relationship just because I’m feeling lonely.

Back in August 2020, Kenny revealed his engagement to his partner Alexandra Garrison. Two years afterwards, they tied the knot.

Among the six couples who got engaged inside the pods (the ones producers chose to follow throughout the show), Diamond and Carlton didn’t manage to stay together until the end of their trip to Mexico. Their relationship ended in a heated argument when Carlton disclosed his bisexuality to Diamond.

Over time, the ex-couple might become friends again, as Carlton expressed to the media, “Whatever will be, will be. It would be wonderful, but it requires patience I believe. I think we both need time to understand our feelings better. We still hold differing opinions about how things unfolded and what went wrong.

Diamond expressed, “There’s much maturing ahead for both of us, and I am ready to evolve. I enjoy growth, but I think we need to reach a common ground where we can discuss this sensitive topic calmly since it still stirs strong emotions in us, even though it’s been over a year since it occurred.

In June 2020, a Reddit user posted a query about Mark’s romantic situation following his split with Jessica, as the question had arisen among fans.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m excitedly sharing this tidbit: It seems one of my friend’s colleagues is romantically involved with the charismatic gentleman in the recent snapshot! Based on the context, it appears they were out on a lovely rendezvous together.

Hey there! As a die-hard fan who can’t get enough of your captivating love stories, let me tell you about an intriguing turn of events. It turns out that another lady, LC, whom Mark seemed to have formed a connection with in those enchanting pods, admitted they’ve been romantically involved! Can you believe it? This LC lives all the way in Atlanta, and she’s been dating my man, Mark, since the beginning of May! And just as a side note, this LC happens to be none other than the charismatic lady from the hit show, Love is Blind. Now isn’t that an interesting twist?
