Love Is Blind Stars Lauren and Cameron Celebrate Exciting Baby News After IVF Journey!

by

Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton are getting their miracle.  

The stars of “Love Is Blind,” who found each other and tied the knot during the first season of the Netflix reality show back in 2018, announced that, following a lengthy process involving in-vitro fertilization (IVF), they are thrilled to be welcoming their first child.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the day to try, having gone through IVF, and I was absolutely thrilled when that day finally came,” I shared with People during a recent interview on May 26th. “We followed tradition by taking the test together in the bathroom, our hearts pounding with anticipation.

He went on to say, “We noticed the word ‘pregnant’ there. That was an incredibly significant moment, to finally see the word ‘pregnant’ on the test.

And Lauren couldn’t agree more, adding that it was nothing less than “a relief.”

Upon seeing the pregnancy test turn positive, an overwhelming sense of joy washed over me at the age of 37. My partner and I exchanged glances, our eyes filled with tears. Overwhelmed, I found myself kneeling, shedding tears of happiness.

She observed, “It’s taken quite some time, but we’ve been diligently attempting to conceive for the past four years.

In truth, the couple’s pregnancy news arrived only seven months following a moment when Cameron became emotional discussing their challenges with fertility.

When I observed your struggle with the medications and daily injections, during an October episode of their podcast ‘The Love Seat’, the 34-year-old expressed to Lauren, ‘I realized you didn’t inherently desire IVF treatments, but did it for me. This act demonstrated a depth of love towards me that I hadn’t witnessed before.’

As a devoted follower, I wholeheartedly agree that the challenges we encountered only strengthened our bond, drawing us even closer together.

She shared that it brought us closer as a pair, for it fostered a stronger sense of connection between us. Now, we stand side by side, offering mutual support, and our understanding of one another has deepened.

In my experience as a lifestyle advisor, I’ve observed that when we navigate through life’s significant and weighty challenges together in any relationship, it forges an unbreakable bond. This shared journey has the remarkable ability to strengthen our connection.

Back in those days, the couple found it uncomfortable due to the persistent inquiries such as, “When will you welcome a new family member?” which felt like unwanted pressure.

Lauren explained on Tamron Hall in 2022 that it can be challenging at times due to its personal nature. She added that she and her team are thankful for the enthusiasm and involvement of their audience, as they have been with them since the beginning. However, discussing topics like pregnancy or trying to conceive can be sensitive, as it’s not an easy journey for anyone.

The romance between them didn’t get a strong start when they arrived in Honduras. Dave confessed that he and his former fiancée shared acquaintances, but it wasn’t their mutual friends that caused the issues. Instead, it was Dave’s reluctance to proceed after learning about Lauren’s past relationship with someone they both knew before the show.

Apart from this, it’s worth noting that Dave was hesitant about introducing Lauren to his social circle, as his father wasn’t aware of his engagement and his sister, who has been a source of conflict, strongly disliked their relationship.

Among the most fitting pairs this season, many spectators anticipated Monica and Joey walking down the aisle and embarking on a lasting relationship. Yet, when it came time for the wedding vows, Monica opted against saying “I do” by stating, “I don’t, not at this moment.

At this very instant, she expressed that it’s a complete 100%, but she felt as though we, the two of us, still haven’t quite reached our goal. Joey concurred wholeheartedly with her sentiments.

He assured her after their embrace that it was perfectly fine. He believed they both held a deep, abundant love for each other, which was evident. However, he felt there were larger aspects and personal growth to consider. He concurred with her sentiment, admitting he wasn’t prepared yet. And in all honesty, he shared that he wasn’t one hundred percent ready at the moment either.

Despite having significant differences regarding religion and politics early in their relationship, by their wedding day, Ben and Sara appeared to be in agreement on many aspects of their life together. However, in the end, they chose to part ways, bringing an end to their joint journey.

According to Sara, she expressed that she doesn’t see a future with Ben because she desires a partner who shares the same frequency with her. She conveyed her deep affection for him, but unfortunately, she feels they are not in sync at this moment. She apologizes if this message is unclear.

Later on, she mentioned, “I acknowledge that our bond feels deeply genuine, and indeed, my feelings are involved. However, when we discussed some core values I treasure dearly, my rational thinking leans towards the idea that I shouldn’t be part of this decision.

Afterward, the harmonious duo, Devin and Virginia, continued down their path – that is, until they encountered the subject of a prenuptial agreement.

However, more substantial problems arose that eventually led Virginia to decline the prospect of spending the remainder of her life with Devin.

She expressed that throughout our relationship, she felt a strong need to shield Devin. She wasn’t sure if this was rooted in culture, but protecting him had always been significant for her. As a result, there were subjects they both avoided, such as politics, where he didn’t want her to delve deeper. Consequently, there were aspects of their relationship that remained unexplored, areas they never fully reached.

In the end, at least one pair, Daniel and Taylor, agreed to an eternal commitment and a romantic period extending beyond Christmas, affectionately known as “a season of love.

Despite initially appearing as if they encountered a significant challenge – Taylor’s suspicion that Daniel had previously followed and then unfollowed her on Instagram, potentially recognizing her from the show – they successfully navigated past this specific hurdle.

Indeed, following the heartfelt exchange of their vows, they savored a stunning wedding ceremony and lively celebration afterward.

After declaring their deep affection for each other in moving vows, the couple relished a wonderful wedding and festive reception that followed.

Or:
Once they expressed their heartfelt promises, the pair delighted in a beautiful wedding and joyful reception that ensued.

After getting married, Daniel sat beside Taylor and exclaimed, “We’ve achieved it!” Taylor echoed his sentiment, expressing, “We can hardly wait to embark on our new journey together.

Initially, the well-known art dealer proposed marriage to the writer of “Keeping Well,” an idea that came about after a love triangle involving Hannah Jiles. However, following a brief engagement, they realized it was more beneficial for them to remain friends.

Brittany had earlier shared with People magazine (in an interview alongside Leo), “There was no spark between us.” As time passed during our trip, we both felt that the connection wasn’t developing and we made the decision mutually. We talk openly and honestly, so it wasn’t a complicated situation. It was a straightforward, respectful understanding between us.

Monica discovered that her fiance, Stephen, had been sending explicit messages to another woman, leading to an abrupt end of their relationship upon their return from Mexico. In the eighth episode, he expressed remorse at the time, but later posted an apology on his social media account following the broadcast.

In a post on Instagram Stories on October 8th, he expressed his hope that he hadn’t caused anyone any distress by simply existing. If unintentionally he had, he apologized for intruding into their day. He wished they didn’t have to start their day this way. However, his affection towards everyone remains unchanged.

After Hannah and Nick stepped out of the pods, they experienced a mix of good times, bad times, and even some heated debates – to put it mildly. As for their perspective on equality, “You’re regarded as an equal when you start contributing like one.

Everything culminated when Hannah chose not to walk down the aisle with him, and for Nick, breaking up was “one of the most painful experiences I’ve 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 stated, “I’ve picked up quite a bit, and I’ve realized there are areas I need to improve. For instance, I’m quite straightforward, which I know, but my approach could use some refinement. I’ve come to understand that the way something is presented is crucial.

In a fortuitous union reminiscent of scientific synchronicity (or those unexpected tattoos), Taylor and Garrett found an immediate connection that suggested they were meant for each other from the start. However, they encountered a temporary setback when Taylor discovered Garrett had responded to his ex’s direct message. According to Garrett, he confirmed his engagement and ended the conversation. This incident became a brief chapter in their Love Is Blind tale.

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

Absolutely, I’m glad you’re here! It turns out, despite Marissa and Ramses being among the most promising couples in the limelight this season, Ramses decided to postpone their wedding due to some doubts that crept up in his mind at the last minute.

Marissa tells her partner, ‘Our future looks promising, and I’d like to spend it with you as husband and wife.’ To this, he replies, ‘I grasp the idea that love can be risky. I do understand.’

He pointed out that their contrasts, particularly on military matters, might not be sufficient for them to reconcile effectively. “From my personal experience of marriage and listening to others who are married,” he continued, “I believe that love alone is not enough… I think there need to be additional factors contributing to success as well.

Regarding Marissa, despite her efforts to move past their views, once she realized it was all over, she couldn’t hold back her tears. “I wish you hadn’t come here,” she says to him. “How could I have been so certain, and you weren’t? It’s just awful, I wanted you to pick me,” she lamented, expressing that the day of their separation was the worst in her life.

Tyler and Ashley soon gained popularity among viewers as they showcased a seemingly carefree relationship. However, their journey took an unexpected turn when Tyler revealed that he had three children. Ashley playfully referred to them as his “donor babies,” but there’s ongoing debate about the extent of his parental role, a topic he has yet to address publicly.

By October 2024, during their reunion episode, Ashley and Tyler managed to overcome that detail and not just rekindle their relationship; they actually got married and became each other’s husband and wife.

Tyler remarks, “Two months into this journey, it’s transformed everything for us.” He speaks these words as he sits beside Ashley following their wedding, adding, “And now, we get to share the remainder of our lives together.

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

In a statement released in January 2025, she confided in People magazine that Tyler and herself have been apart for several weeks. We’ve made the tough choice to part ways permanently, as we found that our life paths are no longer compatible, leading to an irresolvable disconnect in our marriage. Despite my hopes for open communication and mutual understanding, it seems our relationship goals have diverged.

By the time they returned to Washington, D.C. from Mexico, it appeared as though Alex and Tim had resolved their significant argument, and their relationship seemed stronger than ever. Interestingly, Tim even had an emotionally charged conversation with Alex’s father which seemed to secure their future bond.

Following my encounter with Tim’s family, we found ourselves in another heated disagreement. Subsequently, Tim chose to terminate our engagement by stating he didn’t wish for me to be in his presence again. Since then, we have each spoken up to clarify the circumstances surrounding our breakup, with me emphasizing that the separation was not a mutual choice on our part.

Following several spats spread across the season, Chelsea and Jimmy seemed to bury their differences prior to their wedding, as they enjoyed a fun-filled amusement park outing together.

Nevertheless, Jimmy explicitly signaled his readiness to conclude their rollercoaster relationship, terminating his engagement with tearful Chelsea – who was shocked by his choice.

Jimmy expressed his deep affection for Chelsea during their date, stating, “I adore you deeply and desire a committed relationship with you.” However, he confessed that despite his longing for the relationship to succeed, he feels unable to take the next step of marriage, explaining, “I don’t want to walk down the aisle. I can’t.

He clarified that they’ve boiled it down to a single point of contention, yet this issue stems from five or six major concerns that have deeply affected him emotionally. (One significant concern being that Chelsea exposed Jimmy’s past relationship with his female friend.)

Following another round of discussions regarding past relationships, Chelsea walked away tearfully and for good, expressing her 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 by emphasizing their resilience as a couple. Their relationship appeared strong and harmonious.

As an ardent admirer, let me recount a heartfelt scenario: When the moment arrived for Clay to pledge “I do” in the sanctuary, instead, he expressed “I don’t,” confiding in AD that it wouldn’t be prudent for him to wed, given his unpreparedness.

Cue the shock.

He assured AD, “I’ll put forth the effort for us both, and we’ll face this challenge together. Regardless of what others may think, I recognize that I’m not prepared for marriage yet, and you deserve nothing less than my best. If I can’t offer you 100% commitment at this moment, I won’t take you there until I am ready…I’m unable to give you a definite yes at the present time.

It became clear, causing AD to tearfully admit that the relationship had squandered her valuable “time and energy.

Speaking from the heart as an ardent admirer, let me share Clay’s words about his decision to part ways: “Just like myself, ties of both a financial and emotional nature significantly influenced him. Peering into the mirror one day, he questioned, ‘Am I truly a husband?’ The answer that echoed back was no. When I asked myself, ‘Am I deeply in love?’, the response was equally clear – no.

At our recent gathering, I shared with everyone that I had erred in the past by expressing my desire to date AD. However, she gracefully danced around the possibility of rekindling our relationship. As a lifestyle advisor, I would always advocate for open and honest communication when navigating such complex situations.

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

The pair from season six who agreed to spend eternity together were Amy and Johnny. Not only did they mark the start of their journey with a beautiful wedding ceremony, but they also effortlessly brought their families together, creating a united family unit. Amy’s father even expressed his affection for Johnny’s sister by saying he feels like he has gained “multiple daughters” now.

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 flourished, but when they re-entered reality, their relationship began to lose its spark.

In my expert opinion, the dynamics shifted significantly upon returning home after our time together in the pods. Initially, the passion and intensity were sky-high, but once we returned to our normal environment, some of that intensity seemed to dissipate.

Despite no longer being engaged, their friendship endures. As Brittany expressed during the reunion, “The connection between us will persist forever, even though we’re no longer romantic partners.

The engagement between Laura and Jeramey abruptly ended when Laura discovered that he had reunited with Sarah Ann Bick, one of his fellow pod mates, during a social outing. 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 was disclosed that Jeramey had an on-off relationship with Sarah Ann since the production of the show, which lasted for about a year. However, they are no longer together now.

Laura is dating someone else, who she did not identify at the reunion.

During season five, the couple faced several challenges – among them were Izzy’s past relationship with Johnny Maraist and Stacy’s preference for non-disposable plates over paper ones. However, Stacy explained that Izzy’s lack of honesty about his credit history was the primary factor that led her to decide against marriage.

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

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

Regarding Stacy, she appreciated Izzy’s role in helping her open up emotionally, but she wasn’t completely convinced about their long-term prospects. She expressed that being “fairly certain” wasn’t sufficient for her to commit to a lifetime 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 setback when it became known that Lydia was involved with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s pod companion, before the show commenced, it’s worth noting that they were the only couple who managed to maintain their relationship throughout the entire experiment.

Lydia expressed her joy, stating that getting married felt like a long-cherished dream finally realized. She was overjoyed, feeling as if she had all she needed in this moment. It felt comforting and secure, almost like being at home.

Always the thorough problem-solver, Milton concluded, “Given all the evidence, I believe this is the correct choice.

As a devoted admirer, I found myself drawn to a captivating individual throughout the entire season, yet our connection seemed destined to be an enigma. However, upon reaching the altar, Paul’s apprehension became evident. In a tender moment, Micah asked for Paul’s commitment first, and it turned out that this significant step was not in Paul’s plans at that time.

1) “Micah expressed feeling absolutely wrecked,” he stated. “Had Paul wished to wed me, I definitely would have responded affirmatively.

At our recent gathering, I took the opportunity to extend an apology to Micah. It stemmed from a remark I made during a private interview where I expressed difficulty envisioning Micah as a mom. I wanted to acknowledge and rectify my words, recognizing that everyone’s journey to parenthood is unique and deeply personal.

Paul clarified, “What I said was not fair to her, I believe a more appropriate way to express it would be that I don’t see ourselves being parents together.

After wrapping up their movie scenes, the pair attempted a temporary truce, but unfortunately, they couldn’t sustain their romantic partnership. Later on, Paul clarified that their split was permanent as he had ended things definitively during his trip to see Micah in Arizona.

In “After the Altar”, Paul disclosed that he had started seeing a new lady, who loved to travel and appreciated his culinary talents. Eventually, he made their relationship Instagram official with eyelash stylist Geneva Dunham.

As a devoted admirer recounting the tale, I must admit that while Kwame’s mother declined to attend the wedding, and there were arguably inappropriate dialogues between him and Micah, who also shared the pod experience, Kwame and Chelsea were among the three pairs that exchanged vows at the conclusion of season four.

At the gathering, Chelsea shared that she had recently met her husband’s mother. Meanwhile, Kwame expressed regret and apologized to his wife and their family for his actions, stating 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 said that love can be blind, but sometimes it requires a moment or even a proposal to another woman to understand if you’ve made a mistake. This was Zack’s experience when he first got engaged to Irina Solomonova, but they eventually split up during their trip to Mexico.

After Bliss granted another opportunity, this duo overcame the long odds (even against Bliss’ father’s preferences) and exchanged their vows at the altar. (Notably, they didn’t choose to sit this one out, instead taking their first dance together to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” a song that had connected them in the pods.)

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

In November of 2023, the pair announced they were having their first child, and in April of 2024, they joyously welcomed their baby girl named Galileo Terri Rayne Goytowski into their family.

It seems as if this LIB couple is as destined for each other as Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed were in season one!

On their special day, the eldest pair in the study – Tiffany was 36 and Brett was 37 – exchanged wedding vows, despite an unexpected wardrobe issue for Brett as his trousers didn’t fit correctly. Kudos to seamstress Lucia, she came through in the clutch!

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.

But after the filming ended, it was discovered that their past romance had been reignited. This was disclosed during the reunion special for season three.

Approximately a month after, the pair disclosed their decision to part ways, citing ongoing legal matters regarding infidelity accusations against SK. In a joint post on social media, SK and Raven stated, “Due to the ongoing legal proceedings concerning these allegations, we are unable to provide further information at this time. We kindly ask for your understanding and privacy during our difficult period. Thank you for sharing our journey and supporting us.

As your trusted lifestyle guide, let me share an intriguing observation: I couldn’t help but notice the stir when Jackie decided to rekindle things with Josh Demas, the fellow pod-mate she felt a connection with, all while still being engaged to Marshall. She chose to meet up with Josh before ultimately ending her engagement.

During the reunion, Jackie clarified the sequence of events, stating that she had parted ways with Marshall prior to meeting Josh at the coffee shop. “I may appear as if I’ve been unfaithful,” she explained, “but let me assure you, I am not a cheater.

In my own reflection on the conclusion of my partnership with Marshall, I acknowledge that I played a part in our discord through both my words and deeds. Ultimately, it appears that our paths were destined to diverge, as we simply didn’t fit together as a couple.

Regarding Jackie’s relationship with Josh, it’s worth noting that they were romantically involved and cohabiting in the series “After the Altar”. However, Jackie revealed on a live Instagram session in September 2023 that their relationship had ended.

Regarding Marshall, he shared with TopMob that following the show, he had a brief encounter with his fellow competitor, Kacia Clark. In his own words, “We made an effort”, but Marshall decided it was best for him to keep some distance from the entire experience at that point.

Following the heartfelt moments at the altar, I’ve found myself entwined with a remarkable woman named Dr. Chay Barnes for an entire year now. As we journey through life together, I find myself yearning for an eternity with her by my side. Our engagement in December 2023 marks a significant milestone on this beautiful adventure we call life.

Nancy and Bartise experienced one of the more intense “Love Is Blind” nuptials, yet it wasn’t due to the bride or groom causing the commotion.

In the season three finale, it became clear that Nancy was eager to marry, but Bartise expressed doubts about their relationship. This news didn’t go over smoothly with Nancy’s family, who openly voiced their disapproval of Bartise.

Regardless of their ups and downs, Bartise and Nancy have managed to keep up a rollercoaster-like friendship. According to Bartise, it’s been a journey from close friends to mere acquaintances, then to no contact at all, only to return to being friends again. He shared this with TopMob.

In April 2023, Bartisse, a former contestant on Perfect Match, revealed the birth of his child, Hayden, without disclosing 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 unveiled the identity of her partner in public yet.

 

In the final episode of the season, audiences saw Alexa and Brennon tie the knot amidst their cherished company.

With touching sincerity, Alexa exclaimed, “You bring joy, stimulate my thoughts, but above all, you fill my heart with happiness.

In January 2024, the couple shared the joyous news that they were expecting their initial child, and their little girl, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, arrived in July 2024.

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

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d put it this way: Throughout our romantic journey, we often found ourselves at crossroads, leading to numerous misunderstandings and conflicts. Despite walking down the aisle together, I couldn’t help but express my feelings during our wedding vows, stating, “Your actions have shown disrespect towards me, they’ve been hurtful, critical, and they’ve significantly dented my self-esteem.

Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.

He shared with TopMob News that despite encountering various obstacles, we were managing and discovering calmer seas. He expressed optimism that we could move forward, even if our wedding didn’t take place on that specific day.

Colleen and Matt successfully exchanged vows in the season three finale.

Regardless of the ups and downs they experienced while courting each other, the couple remained optimistic about their bond, and with joy, they declared their commitment by saying “I do”.

In 2022, Colleen shared with TopMob News the reason she decided to proceed with the wedding: “As soon as he started crying and sniffling, I realized, ‘That’s my partner.’ Therefore, I knew that I would be saying yes as soon as I saw him.

Nevertheless, the couple decided to end their marriage approximately four years following their wedding ceremony. In May 2025, they expressed their decision on Instagram, stating: “This was a very challenging choice that we didn’t make lightly. It involved careful consideration and it has been an emotional journey for both of us.

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.

So, you thinking about dating in the future?” he asked. “To be honest, I’m not sure how to go about it. I believe the most effective strategy might be avoiding online dating platforms.
