As a seasoned observer of romantic entanglements, both on and off screen, I must say that the love lives of these former Love is Blind contestants are as intriguing as they are complex. It seems that each one has embarked upon a unique journey post-show, with some finding happiness while others are still navigating the bumps in the road.
Chelsea Blackwell is giving fans a backstage pass into her post-Love Is Blind romance.
In an open sharing, the contestant from season six, who started dating Tim Teeter on October 1, has revealed the story behind their first meeting.
In a TikTok video posted on October 12th, the flight attendant shared that while her season on the Netflix dating program was still running, she chose to return to online dating. She mentioned that the upcoming reunion for the show in March was close at hand when she started using Bumble.
Despite being quite nervous, Chelsea admitted she felt prepared,” she said. “Having done sufficient personal work, she acknowledged that joining a dating platform during such a noisy phase of her life might not have been the wisest decision.
Reflecting on my recent Tinder match with a seemingly charming stranger, I found myself in an unexpected predicament. As it turned out, a respected colleague of mine revealed that this individual, Tim, was none other than a mutual acquaintance in our circle. Quite the twist of fate!
In her own words, “If you’ve watched the series, you’re familiar with the character I play, which might make me appear as a mad, psychotic, or insane person. So, it was nerve-wracking for me to interact with others, and I found myself thinking, ‘Oh my goodness, I promise I’m just an ordinary person.’
She also mentioned that he had indeed watched the program, promptly inquiring, “Is it true that you’re as eccentric in reality as you seem on TV?
Her joking response was, “It depends how you treat me.”
Chelsea, who got engaged to Jimmy Presnell within the pods but ended their relationship before the wedding, stated that her bond with Tim was “instantaneous.
She remarked that he was both amusing and odd, yet he managed to engage in meaningful dialogue, something rather uncommon these days. From the outset, it was clear to her that she deeply cared for him, and the feeling was mutual.
She also shared that their relationship hit a few rocky patches early on.
She mentioned, “It wasn’t always smooth sailing and full of joy, beauty, and color. I encountered a challenging period where I questioned whether it was the appropriate time for us to start dating seriously. I had doubts about whether it was fair to him, so there was a brief interval when we weren’t together.
Yet, the temporary separation made Chelsea acknowledge, “I immediately understood that I didn’t want to be without him. So, I put him through a tough time, luckily for him.
As for her take on her boyfriend these days, he’s certainly exceeded expectations.
She enthusiastically expressed that he is the most extraordinary individual she’s encountered in her lifetime. ‘He puts up with me,’ she admitted, ‘I can be quite a handful, not necessarily for the reasons people might assume. I value my solitude and need it to recharge. He, on the other hand, is very different. We’ve had to learn how to communicate effectively because our expressions of love are distinct. It’s been an incredible adventure getting to know each other.’

Following several spats throughout the season, Chelsea and Jimmy seemed to resolve their differences during a pre-wedding outing at an amusement park, which appeared to bring them closer together.
In my own words, I must confess that Jimmy unequivocally signaled his readiness to bring our rollercoaster journey to a halt. With tears in her eyes, Chelsea was left bewildered by his choice to call off our engagement.
On their date, Jimmy confessed to Chelsea, “I have an intense affection for you that feels like love until death, and I yearn to establish a relationship with you. However, I truly hope it works out between us—but I’m just not ready to take the next step towards marriage.
He stated that they’ve narrowed it down to a single point of contention, but originally, it encompassed five to six major problems that deeply affected him emotionally. (One such issue being that Chelsea exposed Jimmy’s past relationship with his female friend.)
And after yet another back-and-forth between the two over their respective ties with exes, Chelsea left for good in tears: “I was so hopeful 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, suggesting that their relationship would overcome any obstacles and things appeared to be going smoothly for them.
However, when it came time for him to commit to a lifelong marriage vow at the altar, Clay opted out, explaining to AD that it would not be prudent for him to tie the knot since he wasn’t prepared yet.
Cue the shock.
He assured AD, “I’ll put in the effort on your behalf and we’ll face this challenge together. Regardless of what others may think or say, I acknowledge that I am not yet prepared for marriage and you deserve the best. If I’m not ready to commit fully, I won’t take you there until I am. At this moment, I cannot give you a definite ‘yes’.
It turned out to be an eye-opening moment when AD, visibly emotional, admitted that the relationship had been a squandering of her valuable “time and effort.
From my perspective as a lifestyle guide, I’d say Clay openly shared that both financial and emotional commitments significantly influenced his decision. He pondered, “Am I truly a husband?” he questioned, and the response was clear: no. When he asked himself, “Am I deeply in love?”, the answer was equally elusive: no.
At the gathering, Clay admitted he had erred by wanting to date AD, yet she seemed hesitant about potentially reconciling in the future.
As a lifestyle aficionado, I must share an intriguing tidbit from the world of entertainment. Upon wrapping up our film project together, I did find myself going on a few dates with my costar, Matthew Duliba. However, it’s important to note that we are not currently in a relationship.
Among all the couples in season six, it was Amy and Johnny who agreed to spend eternity together. Not only did they mark their new chapter with a beautiful ceremony, but they also effortlessly combined their families into one unit. In a touching moment, Amy’s father expressed that he now considers Johnny’s sister as one of his many 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 intense, Brittany and Kenneth’s love story lost its spark when they re-entered everyday life.
According to Brittany, things changed noticeably when they returned to their hometown, Charlotte. She believes that the fervor and intensity they had while living in the pods started to wane upon returning home.
In a twist of fate, their romantic connection may have ended, but their friendship continues to thrive. As Brittany expressed during the reunion, “Even though our romantic journey has come to an end, the special bond we share will endure for all eternity.
Laura’s engagement with Jeramey ended dramatically when she discovered he had rekindled his relationship with fellow pod mate, Sarah Ann Bick, during a social outing. Following their heated argument, Laura asked Jeramey to leave her alone.
But instead of that, he went off to ride jet skis with Sarah Ann.
At the get-together in March 2024, Jeramey disclosed that he and Sarah Ann have had an on-again, off-again relationship for about a year now, starting from when the show was being filmed, but they’ve recently parted ways.
Laura is dating someone else, who she did not identify at the reunion.
During season five, the couple appeared to navigate through several challenges, such as Izzy’s initial bond with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s preference for a certain standard of living and dinnerware (no plastic plates, if you please!). However, Stacy pointed out Izzy’s deception about his financial past as the primary factor that led 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 a heartbroken Izzy.
“We’re at different spots,” he told her. “It really breaks my heart.”
In my own words, I’d express it as follows: Stacy found herself deeply appreciative towards Izzy for helping her explore and navigate emotional terrain, yet there remained a lingering uncertainty about our future together. To commit to a lifetime with him based on ‘fairly certain’ just doesn’t feel right for me.
Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.
Season five’s sole success story came from arguably its most unlikely pairing.
Initially facing difficulties due to the revelation that Lydia was already involved with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s pod companion, before the program started, the geology enthusiasts were the sole couple who managed to maintain their relationship throughout the entire experiment.
Lydia expressed her joy, saying, “Marrying is realizing a long-held dream. I’m overjoyed! I have everything I want now, and it feels like I’ve found my home, where I feel secure.
Always the thorough problem solver, Milton concluded, “Given all the evidence, I believe this decision is correct.
Throughout the entire season, this couple seemed drawn to each other despite their differences…that is, until they stood at the altar. Noticing Paul’s uncertainty, Micah requested that he voice his opinion first, and ultimately, Paul declined the proposal of marriage.
1) Micah expressed, “I’m feeling as though I’ve become a mess,” while also stating, “Had Paul wished to wed me, I would not hesitate in replying, ‘Yes, I will marry you.’
At the gathering, Paul expressed regret for his remark regarding Micah’s ability to be a mother, which he had made during a private conversation.
Paul clarified, “What I said was not fair to her. A more accurate way to express my thoughts would be saying, ‘I don’t see us being suitable for parenthood.’
After wrapping up filming, the pair attempted a temporary reunion, but unfortunately, they couldn’t sustain their relationship. Later on, Paul clarified that their split was permanent as he went to see Micah in Arizona.
In “After the Altar”, it came to light that Paul had started seeing a new lady, who loved exploring places and appreciated his culinary talents. Later on, he made their relationship public on Instagram with makeup artist Geneva Dunham.
Although Kwame’s mother declined to attend the wedding and there were questionable discussions between Kwame and Micah, who were also acquainted in the pods, Kwame and Chelsea were among the three pairs that exchanged vows at the conclusion of season four.
At the get-together, Chelsea disclosed that she had recently met her husband’s mother. Meanwhile, Kwame extended an apology to his wife and her relatives for his actions, admitting that his conversations with Micah weren’t the most favorable 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 moment or even proposing to someone else to understand that you’ve made a mistake. This was exactly the case with Zack when he initially got engaged to Irina Solomonova, but they eventually split up during their vacation in Mexico.
Following Bliss’ request for another opportunity, the couple bravely disregarded the statistical odds and Bliss’ father’s preferences, ultimately exchanging vows at the altar. (It’s worth mentioning that they didn’t simply watch from the sidelines, instead sharing their first dance to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” a song which held special significance for them during their time in the pods.)
Following the broadcast of the final episode, Zack posted a picture of the pair on Instagram accompanied by the caption “Everlasting Happiness.
The couple shared in November 2023 that they are expecting their first baby.
It feels like it’s been quite a while since Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed, from season one, had a connection that seemed so perfectly fitting!
In the study, the eldest pair – Tiffany who was 36 and Brett at 37 years old – exchanged their marriage vows, despite an unexpected wardrobe issue on Brett’s part as his trousers didn’t fit correctly for the wedding. (Big up to Lucia, the seamstress, you’re amazing!)
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.
Meanwhile, once filming ended, it was discovered that their past relationship had been revived, becoming evident during the season three reunion special as they were found to be dating again.
Approximately a month later, the pair publicly declared their decision to part ways, citing ongoing legal matters concerning infidelity accusations against SK. In a jointly released statement on social media in November, SK and Raven requested privacy during this challenging period, explaining that due to the ongoing legal proceedings, they are unable to disclose further details. They expressed gratitude for their followers’ support and interest in their relationship.
Spectators looked on with concern as Jackie opted to grant another opportunity to Josh Demas, the fellow pod-partner she had formed a bond with, by arranging a get-together with him prior to terminating her relationship with Marshall.
However, during the reunion, Jackie set the record straight on the timeline of events. “I broke up with Marshall before I met Josh at the coffee shop,” she said. “It looks like I’m a cheater. I am not a cheater.”
Jackie later spoke about her breakup with Marshall, admitting that she was responsible for her choices and communication. She expressed that their relationship simply wasn’t destined to work out.
Regarding Jackie’s relationship with Josh, they were in a relationship and cohabiting as depicted in “After the Altar”. However, Jackie revealed during a live stream on her Instagram in September 2023 that they had parted ways.
Regarding Marshall, he shared with TopMob that following the show, he had a brief interaction with another contestant named Kacia Clark. In his own words, “We made an effort,” he said, “but I decided it was best for me to step back and separate myself from all of that associated with that experience.
Following the altar, it was disclosed that Marshall has been in a relationship with Dr. Chay Barnes for a year now, and he wishes to spend an eternity with her. Their engagement took place in December 2023.
Nancy and Bartise’s wedding during Love is Blind was particularly dramatic, not due to the actions of the bride or groom, instead… (The drama stemmed from sources other than the bride or groom.)
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 well with Nancy’s family, who openly criticized Bartise without reservation.
Regardless of their ups and downs, Bartise and Nancy continue to have a relationship that’s more like a rollercoaster ride than a consistent friendship. According to Bartise, it’s fluctuated from close companionship to mere acquaintances, then even to no contact at all, only to return to being friends again.
In April 2023, Bartisse, a former contestant on “Perfect Match,” revealed the birth of his son named Hayden. However, he has not disclosed the identity of the child’s mother in public.
Several months later, he debuted his new romance with Cait Vanderberry on Instagram.
Nancy is currently in a new romantic connection, though she hasn’t disclosed the identity of her partner yet.
In the final episode of the season, audiences witnessed the wedding ceremony of Alexa and Brennon, surrounded by their cherished family and friends.
With heartfelt words, Alexa exclaimed, “You bring laughter, stimulate thoughts, but above all, you bring joy to my life.
In January 2024, the couple joyfully shared the news of their upcoming bundle of joy, and by July, they had lovingly welcomed their newborn daughter named Vienna Ziva Lemieux into their family.
Well, we can’t say we’re surprised by this breakup.
During their romantic relationship, it often felt like Zanab and Cole were on different wavelengths, leading to numerous disagreements. Despite reaching the wedding altar together, Zanab asserted, “You’ve shown disrespect, you’ve made insulting comments, you’ve criticized me harshly, and in the end, you’ve single-handedly destroyed my self-esteem.
Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.
He shared with TopMob News that despite encountering several obstacles, things were improving and becoming less turbulent. He expressed optimism that, even if they didn’t get married on that particular day, they could continue their relationship afterwards.
Colleen and Matt successfully exchanged vows in the season three finale.
Regardless of the ups and downs they experienced while courting, the couple remained self-assured about their bond and joyfully exchanged wedding vows.
Colleen shared with TopMob News why she decided to proceed with the wedding: “Once he started crying and sniffing, I thought, ‘That’s my partner.’ From that moment, I knew I would be saying ‘yes’ as soon as 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.
He asked, “Are we venturing into dating in the future?” To which I replied, ” frankly, I haven’t a clue about the strategy. I believe the wisest course would 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 and Hina Merchant Vempati, Deepti’s brother and partner, have been criticizing Shake on Instagram, with posts such as “Shake, you’re pathetic,” implying that he has been making insensitive and awkward remarks about Deepti.
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 Natalie and Shayne not getting married during their time on the show, Natalie assured TopMob that the love stories portrayed were entirely sincere.
I wanted to clarify something,” I mentioned. “This isn’t just a scripted show like reality TV. It’s about the raw emotions, genuine connections, and authentic experiences that make up our everyday lives.
This is why Natalie felt deeply wounded when it seemed that Shayne had accepted a role in the spinoff series, Perfect Match, despite 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 shoot as he was still emotionally attached to her following our reunion show recording, which reminded us of our first encounter since our split. However, I motivated him to carry on with the filming.
After the filming of Perfect Match was completed, Natalie mentioned that she reconnected with Shayne, however, in the end, she decided they should not reunite.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, allow me to share a tidbit from my personal chronicles. Following our serendipitous encounter on the set of “Perfect Match,” I found myself momentarily entwined with the captivating Chloe Veitch, who graced our screens on “Too Hot to Handle.
On August 15, 2022, Danielle initiated divorce proceedings against Nick in a Chicago court, over a year following their nuptials which took place on their wedding finale.
On August 17, 2022, they shared a joint statement on Instagram that we’ve decided to part ways after careful consideration. We’re sad to announce our separation and the start of our divorce process. Though our hearts are still connected, life is taking us in different paths, and we understand and accept that. Reaching this decision wasn’t an easy task, but we wish each other nothing but the very best as we move forward separately.
In the TV spinoff “After the Altar,” which premiered in September 2022, their friendship turned into a romantic relationship. However, Kyle revealed not long after that they had parted ways sometime between filming and the show’s airdate.
And in April, Kyle proposed to his girlfriend Tania Leanos, whom he did not meet in a pod.
The strongest-looking and apparently happy pair from the pod team finally got married officially, confirming their union (with a brief pause in decision-making by Lauren initially).
In December 2019, it turns out that Cam and Lauren separately shared pictures of their vacations in Cancun, but neither tagged the other nor posted images of each other. Interestingly, they both sported the same style of sunglasses…
Moreover, Lauren shared during a conversation with Elite Daily that they are still a couple. In her words, “Oh my goodness! We’re so happy!” She continued, “Every day, we discover new things about each other, which only strengthens our bond. And the more time we spend together, the deeper our love grows.
Cameron shared a picture taken on their wedding day, labeling it with the sentiment, “The most joyful 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, the couple – husband and wife – donned identical American-flag cowboy hats for their Instagram posts.
They revealed in October 2024 that they are expecting their first baby.
If you believed that these two characters were destined to get married after overcoming all the obstacles they faced (such as their significant age gap, Jessica’s feelings for Barnett, and Jessica’s lack of physical attraction towards Mark), then, sweet innocent soul, you must have been living in a fairy tale world.
After their canceled wedding, with Jessica making the decision (obviously), Mark shared with the New York Post in February 2020 that he hasn’t spoken to Jessica since then, although he attempted contact once.
He mentioned that he hadn’t received a response, but to him, it was like spreading affection. Additionally, he emphasized that the LIB experiment remained his most remarkable experience yet. He expressed 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 the summer of 2022, I was blessed to tie the knot with Dr. Ben McGrath, a renowned podiatrist. Our joy knew no bounds when we became parents to our little miracle, Dax, in June 2023.
In a surprising turn of events, Damian unveiled one of the most jaw-dropping instances from ‘Love is Blind’ by unexpectedly disclosing his doubts about getting married to Giannina at the altar.
However, the duo astonished everyone once more by disclosing their reconciliation during the season one reunion. Sadly, they split up again, as Giannina announced to TopMob News in August 2021 that she was no longer in a relationship.
Subsequently, she discovered love on yet another reality show. Her relationship blossomed with Blake Horstmann from Bachelor Nation after their encounter during the filming of All Star Shore in 2022. In November 2023, she shared the news that they are anticipating a new addition to their family.
In a turn of events, it’s been speculated that Damian and Francesca Farago, former cast member of ‘Too Hot to Handle’, have ignited romance whispers. They were reportedly in a relationship on the spin-off series ‘Perfect Match’, following her surprising entrance during ‘Love Is Blind: After the Altar’.
Alas, Damian and Francesca left Perfect Match single.
I was taken aback, as many others seemed to be, when Kelly openly admitted that she hadn’t felt a genuine physical attraction towards Kenny and decided against going through with the marriage – a decision that left even her family in shock.
Ever since their wedding day, Kenny has relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, whereas Kelly remains in Atlanta, continuing her career as a health and empowerment coach. Lately, one of her Instagram posts conveyed the message about being single in your 30s: “Now I understand boundaries better. I value myself so deeply that I won’t settle for a relationship just because I feel lonely.
Back in August 2020, I was thrilled to share that my beloved Alexandra Garrison and I were set to embark on a lifelong journey together, as she had agreed to be my partner. Exactly two years later, we officially tied the knot.
Among the six couples who got engaged during the pods (the ones the producers chose to feature), Diamond and Carlton unfortunately didn’t last until the end of their vacation in Mexico. Their relationship ended dramatically when Carlton disclosed his bisexuality, causing a heated argument between them.
Over time, the ex-pair might become friends again, as Carlton shared with People, “For now, whatever may come is up in the air. It would be wonderful, but I believe it requires time. I think we both need to continue working through our feelings. We still hold different opinions about how things unfolded and what went wrong.
Diamond expressed, “We both have plenty of room to develop further, and I am open to that growth. Growth is something I appreciate, but I think we should reach a point where we can discuss this sensitive matter calmly, as it’s still raw for us, even though it occurred over a year back.
In June 2020, a fan posted on Reddit expressing curiosity about the romantic situation of Mark following his breakup with Jessica.
It seems your pal’s workmate is in a relationship with the fellow shown in this photo, who appears to be out on a date with someone else.
In another pod, there was a woman named LC who had formed a connection with Mark. She later made it clear that they had been involved romantically by saying, “It’s a bit awkward because I live in Atlanta and I’ve been dating Mark since the beginning of May…By the way, this is LC from ‘Love is Blind’…
The couple would later confirm they were not together.
