As I delve into the lives of these Love Is Blind alums, I can’t help but marvel at the rollercoaster ride their love stories have been!
Amber Pike and Matt Barnett are adding a member to their pod.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m thrilled to share that the charismatic couple who discovered their heartfelt bond on the inaugural season of “Love Is Blind” on Netflix, and subsequently tied the knot in 2018, have announced they’re expanding their family with their first child on the way.
Amber shared on the October 8th episode of Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton’s Love Seat podcast that during summer break, he surprised her by impregnating her. She found this development quite unexpected.
At age 32, she disclosed that the pregnancy occurred during a significant period when she and her partner Matt, aged 34, were undergoing major career transitions.
She announced that Matt has taken up a new job, explaining that he left his construction work for a career in sales. She added that she had returned to college, having made the decision to pursue something different after changing her major numerous times. However, with their current circumstances allowing it, she felt it was the right time for her to go back to school.
Afterward, my partner and I added to the excitement on social media by posting a heartfelt compilation of our journey together on Instagram. This series of images culminated in a shot from our podcast episode, where Amber was lovingly cradling her baby bump while Matt embraced her affectionately from behind.
Amber captioned the cute clip writing, “Where it started, Where we’ve been, Where we’re at…”
Months ago, another child from the LIB family was born, followed by the joyous news that series three stars Alexa Lemieux and Brandon Lemieux had their first child – a little girl – during the summer season.
In an Instagram post on August 15th, the proud parents announced the arrival of their beautiful daughter, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, born on July 31, 2024. She’s a blend of her mother’s hair and father’s dimples, and they can’t help but be completely smitten with her.
In January, the couple eagerly shared the news of their upcoming baby, expressing their deep enthusiasm and fascination for parenthood.
Alexa expressed her gratitude that the event unfolded as planned, sharing with People, ‘I couldn’t be happier it’s happening and I can’t keep it a secret any longer!’

After some disputes during the course of the season, Chelsea and Jimmy seemed to resolve their differences before their wedding, as they enjoyed an amusement park date together.
Nevertheless, Jimmy openly expressed his desire for their rollercoaster relationship to conclude, ending his engagement with a tearful Chelsea, who was taken aback by his choice.
Jimmy expressed his deep affection for Chelsea during their date, saying, “I truly adore you deeply and long to build a relationship with you.” He added that he yearns for their relationship to succeed, but feels hesitant about taking the next step of marriage. Put simply, he said, “I can’t see myself walking down the aisle with you.
He clarified that they’ve boiled it all down to a single point of contention, yet beneath this lies a series of major concerns, each one deeply impactful and emotionally challenging. (For instance, the fact that Chelsea disclosed Jimmy’s past relationship with his female friend.)
After another round of discussions about 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 reservations about marriage, stemming from his perspective on his father’s unfaithfulness, AD offered comfort by emphasizing their resilience as a couple, suggesting things were going smoothly for them.
However, when it came time for him to declare his eternal vows at the alter, Clay opted against it, explaining to AD that it wasn’t prudent for him to marry since he wasn’t prepared yet.
Cue the shock.
He assured AD, “I’ll do my best for you, and we’ll navigate this journey together. Regardless of what others may think, I recognize that I’m not yet prepared for marriage, and you deserve nothing less than the best. If I’m not ready to commit fully, I won’t take you there with me until I am. At this moment, I can’t give you 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 considerations significantly influenced his decision to leave. He questioned himself, saying, “Am I married?” and found the answer to be no. When asked if he was deeply in love, he responded negatively as well.
At the gathering, Clay admitted that he had erred by wanting to date AD, yet she seemed to evade a direct answer about reconciling.
AD admitted that she did have a few dates with her co-star Matthew Duliba following the end of filming, but they are not in a relationship.
The couple from season six who agreed to a lifetime together were Amy and Johnny. Not only did they mark their fresh start with a beautiful ceremony, but they also effortlessly blended their families into one unit. Remarkably, Amy’s father expressed his affection for Johnny’s sister, stating that he now feels like he has “several daughters.
As for Johnny, he too declared at his reception that his father-in-law was his “new dad.”
They were still married during the reunion episode.
Initially, Brittany and Kenneth’s romantic connection was vibrant; however, upon returning to reality, their bond began to weaken.
According to Brittany’s statement to Life & Style, it seems the relationship shifted significantly when they returned to Charlotte. At the pods, their passion and intensity were extremely high, but when they got back home, some of that intensity softened a bit.
In a twist of fate, their former engagement didn’t break the friendship between them. As Brittany expressed during the reunion, “Even though our romantic connection has ended, the tie that binds us is destined to endure forever.
Laura and Jeramey’s engagement reached an explosive conclusion when Laura discovered that her fiancé had rekindled relationships with a fellow pod mate named Sarah Ann Bick during a night out. Following their heated argument, Laura bluntly instructed Jeramey to leave her alone.
But instead of that, he went off to ride jet skis with Sarah Ann.
At the gathering held in March 2024, it came to light that Jeramey had been on-again, off-again with Sarah Ann since wrapping up the show last year. However, their relationship has since ended.
Laura is dating someone else, who she did not identify at the reunion.
During season five, the couple faced several challenges, such as Izzy’s initial bond with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s preference for fine living over casual dining. However, it was Izzy’s dishonesty about his credit situation that Stacy pointed out as the primary factor leading her to decide against marriage.
Though Stacy didn’t utter “I do” at the altar, she nonetheless wished to continue being in a relationship with heartbroken Izzy.
“We’re at different spots,” he told her. “It really breaks my heart.”
Regarding Stacy, she appreciated Izzy for helping her open up emotionally, yet she wasn’t completely at ease about their long-term prospects. “I can’t commit for the rest of my life based on being ‘fairly certain’,” she clarified.
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 had been in a relationship with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s pod companion, before the show commenced, it was just them who managed to maintain their relationship throughout the entire experiment.
Lydia exclaimed, “Marrying is realizing a long-held aspiration! I’m overjoyed beyond words. Everything I’ve wanted seems to be right at my fingertips. It feels like being at home, it feels secure.
Milton, always thorough in his analysis, concluded, “After examining all the evidence, I believe this is the correct choice.
For this couple, opposites proved attractive throughout the entire season…that is, until they reached the alter. Noticing Paul’s uncertainty, Micah requested that he express his feelings first, and it turned out that Paul declined the proposal of marriage.
1) Micah expressed, “I’m in a state of complete chaos right now.” If Paul had proposed, I wouldn’t hesitate – I’d happily respond with a resounding “Yes!
During the reunion gathering, Paul expressed regret for his remark about Micah, made in a private conversation, that he found it difficult to perceive Micah as a mother.
In Paul’s own words, he admitted, “I realize now that my previous statement might not have been fair to her. A more appropriate way for me to express myself would be saying, ‘I’m uncertain about our ability to parent together.’
After wrapping up the filming, the pair attempted a short-lived reconciliation, but unfortunately, they couldn’t sustain their romantic bond. Paul clarified that they called it quits permanently during his visit to Micah in Arizona.
In the novel “After the Altar“, it was disclosed that Paul had begun seeing a new companion, who took pleasure in exploring new places and appreciated his culinary abilities. Later on, he confirmed their relationship status on Instagram with eyelash stylist Geneva Dunham.
Regardless of Kwame’s mother not attending the wedding or his possibly questionable talks with Micah, who was also a connection from the pods, Kwame and Chelsea still ended up being one of the three pairs that got married at the close of season four.
At the gathering, Chelsea disclosed that she had recently met her husband’s mother, while Kwame expressed regret and apologized to his wife and her kin for his actions, admitting that his conversations with Micah weren’t the finest depiction of him.
The couple is living in Seattle with their beloved dog Rocky.
It’s often said that love can be blind, but sometimes it takes a bit of time or even proposing to someone else to understand you’ve chosen poorly. This was Zack’s experience when he initially got engaged to Irina Solomonova; however, the couple ended their relationship during a trip to Mexico.
After Bliss granted a second opportunity, they bravely overcame the obstacles (including Bliss’ father’s disapproval) and declared their commitment to each other at the altar. Incidentally, they didn’t simply watch from the sidelines during that special first dance; instead, they shared their bond through a spin on the dance floor to “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack, the song that brought them together in the pods.
Following the airing of the final episode, Zack posted a picture of the pair on Instagram accompanied by the caption “Enduring Happiness”.
The couple shared in November 2023 that they are expecting their first baby.
It seems like no other Love Island couple since Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed in the first season has felt as destined for each other as this new LIB pairing does!
In the study, the oldest pair – Tiffany who was 36 and Brett who was 37 – exchanged their marriage vows despite an unexpected wardrobe issue with Brett’s trousers not fitting correctly on their wedding day. (Kudos to Lucia the seamstress, you saved the day!)
Since filming wrapped, Tiffany and Brett moved to Portland and are still perfect! Phew!
After SK said “I don’t” at their wedding, he and Raven seemingly parted ways.
Nevertheless, once filming concluded, it was discovered that their past romance had been reignited. This revelation occurred during the reunion special for season three.
Approximately a month passed, and the couple revealed their decision to part ways, citing ongoing legal disputes concerning infidelity accusations against SK. In a joint post on social media in November, SK and Raven expressed, “Due to the ongoing legal matters related to these allegations, we are unable to disclose further information at this time. We kindly request your understanding and privacy during this challenging period. Thank you for supporting our relationship journey and having faith in us.
Spectators looked on with concern as Jackie decided to offer another opportunity to Josh Demas, the fellow contestant she had bonded with inside the pods, instead of sticking with Marshall after their engagement.
Yet, during the gathering, Jackie clarified the sequence of incidents regarding the timeline. She stated, “I ended things with Marshall prior to meeting Josh at the café. It seems like I was unfaithful, but let me make it clear: I am not a cheater.
Later on, Jackie admitted to the conclusion of her relationship with Marshall, stating that she is prepared to “accept responsibility” for her choices and conduct. In essence, she expressed that their union was simply not destined to work out.
Regarding Jackie’s relationship with Josh, they were still dating and cohabiting as portrayed in “After the Altar.” However, Jackie revealed during an Instagram Live session in September 2023 that their relationship had come to an end.
Regarding Marshall, he shared with TopMob that following the conclusion of the show, he had a short interaction with contestant Kacia Clark. Marshall put it this way, “We made an attempt, but I felt the need to keep some space between us after that whole experience.
In “After the Altar,“, Marshall disclosed that he has been in a relationship with his girlfriend, Dr. Chay Barnes, for a year now. His desire is to spend an eternity with her, and they became engaged in December 2023.
Nancy and Bartise experienced one of the stormier “Love Is Blind” weddings, yet this wasn’t due to any issues with the bride or groom themselves.
In the season three finale, it turned out that while Nancy was eager to marry, Bartise expressed doubts about their relationship. This news didn’t go down smoothly with Nancy’s relatives, who openly voiced their disapproval of Bartise.
Regardless of their ups and downs, Bartise and Nancy have kept a relationship that ebbs and flows like a friendship. According to him, when they’re not friends, they become more like acquaintances; then there are times when they don’t communicate at all, but eventually, they revert back to being friends again. He explained this to TopMob in these words.
In April of 2023, Bartisse, known from the show “Perfect Match,” revealed the birth of his child named Hayden. However, he has not disclosed the mother’s identity to the public.
Several months later, he debuted his new romance with Cait Vanderberry on Instagram.
Nancy is currently in a new romantic partnership, though she hasn’t disclosed the identity of her partner in public yet.
In the last episode of the season, audiences saw Alexa and Brennon exchange vows before their cherished ones during a beautiful wedding ceremony.
In heartfelt promises, Alexa enthusiastically shared, “You bring laughter, stimulate thought, and above all, bring joy to my life.
In January 2024, the couple made public their happy news of an upcoming birth, and their little girl, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, arrived in July.
Well, we can’t say we’re surprised by this breakup.
During their romantic relationship, it often appeared as though they held different views, leading to multiple disagreements. Despite reaching the wedding ceremony together, Zanab expressed her feelings saying, “You’ve shown a lack of respect, made disrespectful comments, criticized me harshly, and ultimately destroyed my self-esteem.
Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.
He shared with TopMob News that despite encountering rough patches, things were improving and becoming less turbulent. He expressed optimism that they could move forward even if they didn’t get married immediately following the ceremony.
Colleen and Matt successfully exchanged vows in the season three finale.
Regardless of the ups and downs experienced during their romantic journey, the couple remained assured about their bond and joyfully exchanged wedding vows.
Colleen explained to TopMob News why she decided to proceed with the wedding: “The moment I saw him cry and sniffle, I thought, ‘He’s mine.’ So I knew right then and there that I would be saying yes when I saw him.
And for those wondering, Colleen confirmed, “A year-and-a-half later, we’re very, very happy.”
During the season finale, Sal wasn’t able to say, “I do.”
In an TopMob News interview, he revealed that he was single after filming.
Are we considering venturing into dating at some point?” he asked. “To be honest, I’m unsure of the strategy. I believe the most effective method might be to avoid online dating platforms.
As we know, Deepti and Shake’s time on the show did not end with a happily ever after.
Sunny, along with Hina Merchant Vempati, publicly criticized Shake on Instagram, calling him out for disrespecting Deepti by making inappropriate and embarrassing remarks about her. (Paraphrased)
They continued, urging Shake to “stay the f–k away” from their sister.
Looks like Shake will be heading to his Nobu reservation alone!
Despite the fact that Natalie and Shayne did not get married on the show, Natalie assured TopMob that the romantic stories depicted were entirely sincere.
Natale explained, “This isn’t a reality show, it’s the genuine depiction of our actual lives, true emotions, and authentic relationships.
This is why Natalie felt deeply wounded when it seemed that Shayne had accepted a role in the spinoff series “Perfect Match” during their efforts to rebuild their relationship following their failed marriage.
She disclosed on Instagram that he messaged her multiple times expressing his desire to quit during the filming halfway because he hadn’t gotten over his feelings for her since they met again at the reunion show taping. However, she motivated him to carry on with the filming.
After the filming of Perfect Match was completed, Natalie shared that she reconnected with Shayne, but in the end, decided it wasn’t appropriate for them to get back together.
Simultaneously, Shayne had a short-lived romance with Chloe Veitch, who he met during the matchmaking show “Perfect Match.
On August 15, 2022, Danielle initiated the process of dissolving her marriage with Nick at a courthouse in Chicago, having tied the knot over a year ago during their final episode.
On August 17, 2022, they shared a joint post on Instagram stating that after careful consideration, they regretfully announced their separation and the beginning of divorce proceedings. Although they hold affection for one another, their individual paths are diverging, which is acceptable. Arriving at this decision wasn’t simple, and they will forever hope the best for each other.
In the spin-off series “After the Altar,” which premiered in September 2022, their friendship turned into a romantic relationship. However, Kyle revealed only a few days after the show’s release that they had parted ways sometime after the special was recorded.
And in April, Kyle proposed to his girlfriend Tania Leanos, whom he did not meet in a pod.
Without any doubt, the most stable and apparently happy pair from the pod squad got married officially at the altar. They carried out their wedding vows, even though there was initial uncertainty on Lauren’s side.
In the month of December 2019, both Cam and Lauren shared their holiday snaps from Cancun, but neither mentioned nor featured images of the other in their posts. Interestingly, they were both sporting identical pairs of sunglasses, suggesting…
Not only that, but Lauren shared in a chat with Elite Daily that they are still a couple. In the interview, she expressed delight, saying, “Oh my goodness! We’re so happy together!” She continued, “Each day brings new insights about one another, and honestly, we find ourselves falling more deeply in love.
Cameron shared a picture taken on their wedding day, with the accompanying caption, “The most joyous day of my existence.
Despite some chilly feet on Barnett’s behalf on the morning of the ceremony, Barnett and Amber exchanged vows in the finale’s final wedding. And over a year later, they are still married.
On the Fourth of July, both partners donned identical American-themed cowboy hats for their shared Instagram posts.
They revealed in October 2024 that they are expecting their first baby.
If you believed they would ultimately get married despite all their hurdles throughout (like the significant age gap, Jessica’s feelings for Barnett, and Jessica’s lack of physical attraction towards Mark), then, indeed, your optimism is quite touching.
After their canceled wedding, it was Jessica who ended things (obviously), and in February 2020, Mark disclosed to the New York Post that he hadn’t talked to Jessica since then, although he attempted to reach out once.
He mentioned that he hadn’t received a response, but in his view, it was like spreading affection far and wide. As for the LIB experiment, he considered it the most remarkable event in his life. He went on to say 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 of 2022, Jessica tied the knot with Dr. Ben McGrath, a specialist in foot care. Their union was blessed with a child, Dax, who arrived in June 2023.
In one of “Love is Blind”‘s most surprising twists, Damian stunned Giannina by unexpectedly confessing that he wasn’t in favor of their marriage during the ceremony.
However, the duo surprised everyone once more as they disclosed their reconciliation during the season one reunion. Regrettably, they parted ways again, with Giannina confirming to TopMob News in August 2021 that she was now single.
In the realm of reality television, I found myself embarking on a beautiful journey with none other than Blake Horstmann from Bachelor Nation. Our paths crossed during the filming of All Star Shore back in 2022, and since then, our bond has only grown stronger. I shared the exciting news in November 2023 that we’re anticipating the arrival of a little miracle.
Meanwhile, Damian fueled speculations about a romantic relationship with former contestant of Too Hot to Handle, Francesca Farago. They were reportedly in a relationship on the spinoff series Perfect Match following Francesca’s dramatic surprise appearance during Love Is Blind: After the Altar.
Alas, Damian and Francesca left Perfect Match single.
It came as a shock when Kelly disclosed that she hadn’t developed a genuine physical attraction towards Kenny, leading her to decide against going through with their wedding, a decision that took her family by surprise.
Ever since their wedding, Kenny has relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, whereas Kelly remains in Atlanta, carrying on her role 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 cherish myself so deeply that I won’t settle for a relationship out of loneliness.
Back in August 2020, Kenny shared the exciting news that he had become engaged to his partner Alexandra Garrison. Exactly two years later, they tied the knot.
Among the six pairs who got engaged during the pods (the ones chosen by producers for further filming), Diamond and Carlton didn’t manage to last until the end of their trip to Mexico. Their relationship ended dramatically when Carlton shared with Diamond that he is bisexual, leading to a heated argument.
Over time, the ex-couple might become friends again, as Carlton expressed to People, “For now, whatever transpires is up in the air. It would be wonderful. But it requires patience, I believe. I think we both need to continue working through our emotions. We still hold contrasting opinions about how things unfolded and what mistakes were made.
Diamond stated, “There’s much maturing left for both of us, and I am open to growing. I enjoy growth but I believe we should find some common ground now, so we can have a conversation without getting too emotional because this is a sensitive topic. Despite the fact that it’s been over a year since it happened, it feels like it was just yesterday.
In June 2020, a Reddit user posted a query about Mark’s romantic situation following his split with Jessica, as the question arose from their previously engaged status.
It looks like your friend’s office colleague is dating this guy named Mark, as seen in the shared photo where they seem to be out together.
In a more casual manner, we could say: “LC, another woman Mark had gotten to know in the pods, then admitted that they had been seeing each other by saying, ‘This is uncomfortable because I reside in Atlanta and I’ve been dating Mark since early May…By the way, this is LC from ‘Love is Blind’…’.
The couple would later confirm they were not together.
