Love Is Blind’s Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton Reveal Sex of Baby

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton have finally gotten some clarity about the gender of their upcoming bundle of joy!

Approximately two months following their announcement of their first child, the pair from Love Is Blind (who initially connected and got married during the first season of the Netflix show in 2018) released a heartwarming gender reveal video. In the video, they excitedly disclosed that they are welcoming a baby boy.

On Instagram, August 1st, Lauren (age 37) and Cameron (age 38) exited their home to find a newspaper titled “Hamilton Herald” waiting at their doorstep. Upon picking up the publication, they were delighted to find an article announcing “It’s a boy!” This revelation was followed by the video transforming from black-and-white to color, with the flowers and backdrop turning blue.

Overjoyed by the news, Lauren leaped up and down in delight, then planted a loving kiss on Cameron’s lips.

In May, the reality television stars shared their experience when they discovered that Lauren was expecting, after a lengthy process involving in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

Cameron shared that they eagerly awaited the day of testing, as they had undergone IVF. Upon taking the usual test, they both entered the bathroom simultaneously to check the results.

When the pregnancy test came back positive, Lauren recalled feeling a sense of “relief.”

Upon seeing the word ‘pregnant’, it was a wonderful moment,” she shared with People. “We simply looked at each other, and I found myself kneeling and crying.

Lauren remarked, “Since we’ve been attempting to have a baby for four years now, it feels like a significant milestone has finally arrived.

For certain, the pair has openly discussed their difficult experience with fertility, where Lauren resorted to medication and regular injections on a daily basis to aid conception.

As we navigated through those challenging times together, I must admit it wasn’t easy, but it served to fortify our relationship as a couple in ways I could have never imagined.

In an October 2024 episode of their podcast, “The Love Seat“, Cameron expressed to Lauren, “You demonstrated a depth of love for me that I hadn’t previously witnessed, as it was clear that IVF and everything else wasn’t something you desired naturally but did it for my sake.

Upon touching down in Honduras, the spark between us never quite ignited as planned. Dave confessed that his former fiancée and I shared mutual acquaintances, but it wasn’t our intertwined social circles causing the turbulence. Instead, it was his reluctance to proceed, after we disclosed Lauren had past connections with someone known to us both from before the show, which created an obstacle in our budding relationship.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that Dave was hesitant about introducing Lauren to his inner circle, as he hadn’t yet informed his father about his engagement and his sister, who had become a source of conflict, disapproved of their relationship.

Among this season’s most harmonious pairs, many spectators anticipated that Monica and Joey would walk down the aisle together for a lifetime. Yet, when it was time to declare “I do,” Monica opted for “I don’t, not at this moment.

At this very instant, she expressed, “It’s a complete one hundred percent,” while fighting back tears, and added, “We’re almost, but not quite, at our destination.” Joey concurred wholeheartedly with her sentiments.

He reassured her with a hug, saying it was perfectly fine. He believed that both of them harbored a deep, abundant love for each other, which was undeniably evident. However, he felt there were greater things and opportunities for growth ahead. In sync with her thoughts, he admitted he wasn’t prepared either. Moreover, he confessed that he wasn’t entirely ready at the moment.

As a devoted admirer looking back, it was apparent that Ben and Sara held differing perspectives on crucial aspects of their joint journey, such as faith and political beliefs. Yet, by the time they walked down the aisle, there seemed to be a harmonious alignment in their thoughts. Regrettably, in the end, they chose to part ways and conclude their shared narrative.

Sara, who stated she doesn’t envision a future with Ben, clarified, “Ben, my affection for you is immense, but I’ve always yearned for a connection on the same level. Unfortunately, that’s not the case right now. I apologize if this causes any confusion.

Later on, she expressed, “The bond between us feels incredibly genuine, and my heart is fully invested. However, when it comes to discussing certain values that are deeply important to me, my mind seems to be saying ‘no’ in response to this decision.

A harmonious duo, Devin and Virginia, appeared to be moving forward smoothly – that was, until the matter of a prenuptial agreement emerged between them.

However, more significant problems arose, causing Virginia to eventually decline the prospect of spending the remainder of her life with Devin.

She explained, with tears in her eyes after leaving the altar, ‘I believe I’ve always felt a strong desire to shield Devin in many aspects of our relationship. Whether it’s a cultural influence or not, protecting him has been significant for me. Consequently, there were subjects he didn’t want to discuss, such as politics, and areas he didn’t want me to delve into. As a result, there were layers to our bond that we never fully explored.’

In the end, at least one pair, namely Daniel and Taylor, agreed to spend an eternity together and experience a winter of love beyond Christmas.

Despite initially appearing as if they had a significant challenge (with Taylor suspecting Daniel had previously followed and then unfollowed her on Instagram, giving him an idea of her appearance before the event), they successfully navigated past that specific hurdle.

Indeed, following their heartfelt exchange of promises, they spent a delightful wedding day and an entertaining reception celebration together.

After our wedding, Daniel declared, “We’ve accomplished it!” as he sat next to Taylor. Taylor concurred, “Oh, we can’t wait to embark on the next phase of our journey together.

As a devoted admirer, I found myself in a unique situation when the renowned art dealer proposed to the talented author of “Keeping Well,” despite our shared history with Hannah Jiles. However, following a brief engagement, we realized that maintaining a friendship was more beneficial for both of us.

Brittany had expressed earlier to People, alongside Leo, that “the connection didn’t develop,” as they put it. During their journey together, they discussed the possibility of making things work, but in the end, they discovered that there was no spark between them. They both acknowledged this honestly and amicably. Being open communicators, they handled the situation with ease and respect.

After gracing the screens of the Netflix dating show, I started my romantic journey with the talented musician Mod Sun in November 2024. However, come July 2025, I revealed that our relationship had ended a few months prior, in April.

Monica and Stephen’s romance abruptly ended when she found sexually explicit messages between her partner and another woman, which led to their breakup shortly after returning from Mexico. Upon discovering this, Stephen apologized initially during episode eight, but later posted an apology on his social media account following the broadcast of the episode.

He expressed his hope that he didn’t unintentionally spoil anyone’s day by being alive, and if he did, he apologized for causing them to awaken that particular morning. He wished they hadn’t had to rise at all. However, he assured everyone that his feelings for them would remain the same.

When Hannah and Nick ventured beyond the pods, they encountered both positive experiences and challenges, including some conflicts – to put it mildly. And as one might expect, “Equality is demonstrated through equal contributions.

The situation reached its peak when Hannah chose not to walk down the aisle with him, and as for Nick, he described their split as one of the most painful experiences he’s ever had.

Since then, Hannah has admitted the show forced her to do some self-introspection.

During a recent episode of The Viall Files podcast in October, she shared her insights, stating, “I’ve picked up a lot along the way, and I’ve realized there are areas I need to focus on improving.” She went on to explain, “For instance, I am quite straightforward. However, I understand my delivery could use some polishing, as I now recognize that how one delivers is crucial.

A perfect science-inspired match was formed between Taylor and Garrett from the start, and it appeared as if they were meant for each other, with “I do” being their inevitable response. However, a small hiccup occurred when Taylor discovered that Garrett had responded to his ex’s direct message (Garrett claimed he confirmed his engagement and ended the conversation). Nevertheless, this incident became a minor plot point in their love story, as told in the reality TV show “Love Is Blind.

The pair were still married at the Love Is Blind reunion in October 20224.

Indeed, as you may have gathered, Marissa and Ramses were among the favored pairs in this season’s relationships. Regrettably, Ramses decided to cancel their wedding due to some lingering doubts he had.

Marissa expresses her excitement about the wonderful future they share, and proposes marriage. In response, her partner acknowledges that falling in love involves taking a chance, understanding that.

From my perspective as a lifestyle advisor, I’ve observed that while two individuals may share a deep love, their differences, such as opinions on military matters, might not be sufficient to navigate through challenges. Drawing from personal experience and stories shared by others in matrimony, I firmly believe that love alone is insufficient. There ought to be additional factors, like mutual understanding and compatibility, working harmoniously for a successful relationship.

Concerning Marissa, despite her efforts to move past their viewpoints, upon realizing it was over, she couldn’t hold back tears. “I wish you hadn’t been here,” she said to him. “How could I have been so certain? And yet, you aren’t? It’s awful, I wanted you to pick me,” she expressed further about their separation, calling that day the worst of her life.

Tyler and Ashley’s relationship initially won hearts due to their seemingly laid-back romance. However, a hurdle emerged when it was revealed that Tyler had three children from previous relationships, which Ashley referred to as his “donor babies.” (There’s debate online about the extent of his parental role, an aspect he has not commented on publicly.)

By October 2024, during their reunion episode, Ashley and Tyler managed to overcome that detail, leading not just to a renewal of their bond but surprisingly, they ended up getting married.

Two months ago, we embarked on a journey that transformed us profoundly,” Tyler remarks as he sits with Ashley post-wedding. “From now on, we’ll have the privilege of living the remainder of our lives side by side.

Instead, Ashley revealed later on that their marriage had ended after more than a year, as they decided to part ways.

In early 2025, she shared with People magazine that Tyler and I have been apart for a while now, and we’ve come to the tough choice of ending our marriage. I had hoped for openness and harmony in our relationship, but it appears our goals no longer coincide, making it unfeasible for me to carry on with this union.

After our intense disagreement in Mexico, which we managed to resolve during our journey home to Washington, D.C., it appeared that our bond had only grown stronger. By the time we stepped foot back on American soil, our friendship seemed to have blossomed anew. To my surprise, Tim even sought out a heartfelt meeting with my father, an encounter that seemed to secure our future as allies.

After Alex’s meeting with Tim’s family, they had another disagreement, and eventually, Tim called off their engagement by stating he didn’t want any further contact with Alex. Since then, both parties have spoken up in defense following the breakup, with Alex clarifying that the separation was not something agreed upon mutually.

Following several spats during the course of the season, Chelsea and Jimmy seemed to leave their disputes in the past when they enjoyed a fun-filled amusement park date prior to their upcoming wedding.

Jimmy unequivocally expressed his readiness for their roller coaster relationship to conclude, ending his engagement with Chelsea, who was taken aback by his choice.

Jimmy expressed his deep affection for Chelsea during their date, saying, “I adore you deeply and long for a committed relationship with you.” However, he confessed that he desires their bond to succeed but feels uncomfortable with the idea of marriage. He explained, “But I don’t want to get married. I can’t.

He simplified it by saying, “We’ve boiled it down to a single point of contention, but originally, it was more like five or six major issues that deeply affected me emotionally.” (One of the issues being that Chelsea disclosed Jimmy’s past relationship with his female friend.)

Following another round of discussions regarding their past relationships, Chelsea departed tearfully, expressing her deep disappointment: “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, suggesting they could overcome as a pair, and their relationship appeared strong at that moment.

However, when it came time for him to commit to a lifelong partnership at the altar, Clay opted out, explaining to AD that it would not be prudent for him to marry since he was not yet prepared.

Cue the shock.

He assured AD, “I’ll make the effort for us both, and we’ll face this journey together. Regardless of what others may think, I’m aware that I’m not prepared for marriage yet, and you deserve nothing less than the best. If I can’t commit one hundred percent at this moment, I won’t take you there with me until I am ready…I can’t give you an affirmative answer just yet.

It became clear to AD, causing her to express, with tears in her eyes, that the relationship had been a regrettable squandering of her valuable “time and energy.

Regarding Clay, he confessed that both financial and emotional factors significantly influenced his decision to leave. He questioned himself, “Am I married?” he asked reflectively, and the response was negative. When pondering if he was deeply in love, he answered, “No” as well.

At the gathering, Clay admitted that he had erred by wanting to date AD, yet she seemed evasive about the possibility of reconciling.

AD admitted that following the completion of filming, she went out on a few dates with her costar Matthew Duliba. However, they are currently not in a relationship.

The couple from season six who agreed to spend eternity together was Amy and Johnny. Not only did they mark their new journey with a beautiful ceremony, but they also effortlessly combined their families into one unit. In a heartwarming moment, Amy’s father expressed his feelings by telling Johnny’s sister that he now feels like he has more than one daughter.

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 love was vibrant, but when they re-entered reality, their relationship gradually lost its spark.

Brittany shared with Life & Style that things shifted significantly upon returning to Charlotte. She feels their intense passion and intensity in the pods lessened slightly when they got back home.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but rejoice over the enduring friendship between these two ex-fiancés. At the reunion, Brittany herself expressed it beautifully: “Though our romantic bond has ended, the connection we share will transcend time and last for all eternity.

Laura’s engagement with Jeramey ended dramatically when she discovered he had rekindled a relationship with fellow pod mate, Sarah Ann Bick, during a night out. Following a 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 gathering in March 2024, it came to light that Jeramey had been intermittently seeing Sarah Ann for about a year, starting right after they filmed the show. 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 previous bond with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s insistence on a certain standard of lifestyle and dinnerware (no disposable plates). However, it was Izzy’s deceit about his credit history that Stacy pointed out as a primary factor for her decision against marriage.

As deeply smitten as I am, though Stacy didn’t utter “I do” at the altar, my heart yearned for her to stay connected with Izzy, who was left reeling by the turn of events.

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

Regarding Stacy, she appreciated Izzy for helping her explore deeper emotions, yet she wasn’t completely convinced about their long-term prospects. She put it simply, “I can’t confidently agree for the remainder of my life based on ‘fairly certain.’

Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.

In a surprising turn of events, the one shining achievement from Season 5, Lydia, revealed on AD Smith’s podcast “What’s the Reality” in June 2025 that she was divorcing Milton, her husband for under three years.

She explained, “It wasn’t a single issue, but rather a series of circumstances and matters that accumulated. When I suggested, ‘I’ll let you know when the divorce documents are prepared,’ his reaction was surprising: ‘I won’t sign the papers unless there’s a Non-Disclosure Agreement.’

She expressed that she had remained silent for far too long, which is why she chose to reveal the information openly. She felt compelled to voice her opinions and recount her experiences, as the burden of her silence had become unbearable.

During their marriage, Lydia mentioned that Milton, who is 26 years old, was frequently accused by women of being overly flirtatious and buying them drinks at bars. Lydia disclosed that he dismissed these allegations but turned the situation around on her, questioning why she would bother with such gossip.

This couple found themselves drawn to each other throughout the entire season, but when they reached the alter, signs of doubt emerged. Seeing Paul’s uncertainty, Micah decided to ask for his decision first, and unfortunately, Paul chose not to marry.

As for myself, I’m feeling rather chaotic, almost as if everything around me has fallen apart. Yet, had Paul expressed his intention to tie the knot with me, there wouldn’t be a shadow of a doubt in my response – a resounding “Yes, I do!

During the gathering, Paul expressed remorse for his remark made in a private conversation, where he admitted finding it hard to perceive Micah as a mother.

Paul clarified, ‘I expressed it unfairly toward her.’ A more accurate way to put it might be, ‘I don’t see ourselves as potential parents.’

After wrapping up the movie, the pair momentarily patched things up; however, they struggled to keep their relationship going. Later on, Paul disclosed that they had parted ways permanently when he paid a visit to Micah in Arizona.

As a devoted admirer, I’m excited to share that in “After the Altar,” Paul unveiled a significant change in his life – he was in a relationship with a remarkable woman who shares my passion for travel and has an eye for cooking. Later on, we witnessed their official announcement on Instagram as a couple, featuring Geneva Dunham, a talented eyelash beautician.

Although Kwame’s mother declined to attend the wedding and some might consider his discussions with Micah as questionable, given their relationship within the pods, Kwame and Chelsea were among the three pairs who exchanged vows by the conclusion of season four.

At the gathering, Chelsea disclosed that she had recently met her husband’s mother. Meanwhile, Kwame expressed remorse towards his wife and their family, admitting that his conversations with Micah didn’t accurately reflect him.

The couple is living in Seattle with their beloved dog Rocky.

It’s said that love can be blind, but sometimes it requires a bit of time or even finding yourself with another person to understand you’ve made a mistake. This was Zack’s experience when he initially got engaged to Irina Solomonova, but they ultimately split up during their vacation in Mexico.

Following Bliss’ request for another opportunity, the duo bravely went against the odds (even defying Bliss’ father’s wishes) and pledged their love to each other at the altar. To clarify, they didn’t choose to watch from the sidelines, instead taking their first dance together to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” a song that connected them during their time in the pods.

Following the airing of the finale, Zack posted a picture of the couple on Instagram, tagging it with the caption “Enduring Happiness”.

In November 2023, the pair announced they were going to have their first child, and then in April 2024, they happily welcomed their baby girl named Galileo Terri Rayne Goytowski into their family.

It feels like it’s been a while since Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed as a LIB (Love Is Blind) couple have felt so fitting together!

In the unique experiment I was so invested in, the eldest pair – Tiffany, 36, and Brett, 37 – made their heartfelt vows, quite remarkably, despite an unexpected hitch on Brett’s wedding day. His trousers, unfortunately, refused to accommodate him as they should have! (A big shout-out to Lucia, the seamstress extraordinaire, for coming to the rescue at the last minute!)

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.

In the moments after the camera lights dimmed, my ex and I found ourselves back together, a secret love blossoming anew during the season three reunion special.

Approximately a month ago, the couple made public their decision to part ways, citing ongoing legal issues regarding infidelity accusations against SK. In a joint post on social media last November, SK and Raven stated that due to these legal proceedings, they are unable to disclose more information and kindly requested privacy during this difficult period. They appreciate the interest in their relationship and trust in them.

Spectators looked on with concern as Jackie opted to provide another opportunity to Josh Demas, the fellow pod participant she had become close with, instead of continuing her relationship with Marshall. She met up with Josh Demas prior to terminating her engagement.

During the reunion, Jackie clarified the sequence of events. She explained, “I ended my relationship with Marshall before I met Josh at the coffee shop.” She wanted to make it clear that she wasn’t unfaithful as it appeared, stating emphatically, “I am not a cheater.

Later on, Jackie acknowledged the conclusion of her relationship with Marshall, stating that she is “ready to accept responsibility” for her statements and deeds. “It simply wasn’t destined for us to be together.

Regarding Jackie’s relationship with Josh, they were dating and cohabiting in the show “After the Altar”. However, in a live session on Instagram in September 2023, Jackie revealed 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. He elaborated, “We made an effort, but I chose to step back and detach myself from everything associated with that experience.

In the novel “After the Altar“, Marshall disclosed that he has been in a relationship with Dr. Chay Barnes for an entire year, and his wish is to spend eternity with her. Their engagement took place in December of 2023.

Nancy and Bartise experienced one of the most volatile “Love Is Blind” wedding ceremonies, yet it wasn’t due to the bride or groom themselves.

In the season three finale, it turned out that while Nancy was eager to marry, Bartise expressed his doubts about their relationship. This news didn’t go down well with Nancy’s family, who openly criticized Bartise without reservation.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but observe the intriguing rollercoaster ride that is Bartise and Nancy’s friendship. It’s like we’re not just friends one moment, then strangers the next, only to revert back to being friends again. In my own words, I’ve seen it transform from heartfelt camaraderie to casual acquaintanceship, then complete silence, and miraculously, friendship once more.

In April 2023, Bartisse, a contestant from the show “Perfect Match”, welcomed his son Hayden into the world. However, Bartisse has not disclosed the identity of the baby’s mother in public.

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

I can hardly contain my excitement as I eagerly follow every move Nancy makes, hoping to catch a glimpse of the lucky guy she’s been seeing! Yet, it seems like the secret is safe for now, as she hasn’t unveiled his identity to the public.

 

At the end of the season, viewers saw Alexa and Brennon exchange vows in a heartfelt wedding ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family.

With touching declarations, Alexa overflowed with affection, saying, “You bring laughter into my life, stimulate my thoughts, and above all, you bring joy to my heart.

In January 2024, the couple made public their happy news about anticipating their first child, and by July of the same year, they joyfully welcomed their baby girl named Vienna Ziva Lemieux into their lives.

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 these challenges, they managed to reach the wedding altar. However, at the altar, Zanab expressed her feelings by saying, “You have shown disrespect towards me. You have spoken harshly about me. You have criticized me. And I must say, you alone have devastated my self-worth.

Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.

He shared with TopMob News that despite facing various obstacles, he was optimistic about overcoming them and navigating calmer seas. He also expressed his hope that their relationship could continue, even if they decided not to marry on the specific day in question.

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, leading them to declare their commitment with a joyful ‘I do’.

In an interview with TopMob News in 2022, Colleen shared the reason for her decision to proceed with the wedding: “The moment I witnessed him crying and snorting, I thought, ‘He’s my man.’ Consequently, I knew that I would say yes as soon as I saw him.

Four long years have passed since I exchanged vows with my beloved, but sadly our journey together has come to an end. This wasn’t a hasty choice; it was painstakingly deliberated over countless sleepless nights. The road leading up to this decision has been fraught with emotional turmoil for us both. We shared the news on our Instagram back in May 2025, expressing the deepest sentiments of our hearts: “This wasn’t a decision made lightly, it was one that came after much thought and introspection.

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 going to date in the future?’ I’m not sure about my strategy yet. However, I believe avoiding online dating apps might be the wisest choice for me.
