Love Is Blind’s Chelsea Blackwell and Boyfriend Tim Teeter Break Up

by

Chelsea Blackwell is riding solo once again.

Eight months after they first made their relationship public, former contestant of ‘Love is Blind’, Chelsea, announced through her social media platforms that she and her partner Tim Teeter have parted ways.

In a June 29 TikTok post, Chelsea asked, “How on earth,” do you rediscover your passion, when you’ve decided to part ways with the person you intended to marry?

She captioned the video, which saw her putting her makeup on, “Life is wild.”

The 32-year-old’s comment area quickly received messages of goodwill from supporters. One user commented, “It’s not a flicker of friendship! It’s a flame! A little rain may make it appear extinguished, but beneath the ashes, the embers are ready to reignite again!

In response to the encouraging words, Chelsea wrote, “I love this so much.”

Besides fans showing their sorrow about the separation, a social media user wondered if the breakup with Tim might be connected in any way to Chelsea’s former fiancé, Jimmy Presnell, whom she had gotten engaged to during the reality show “Love Is Blind”.

Chelsea’s answer? A simple, “Not about Jimmy.”

In early 2024, the reality TV personality began a romance with Tim, which they made public in October. According to Chelsea herself, she started considering dating once more when her season of Love is Blind was re-aired on television in March of that year.

Even though I was very nervous, I still felt prepared,” Chelsea expressed in her October TikTok about returning. “I felt that I had put in enough personal growth work.

She admitted that her bond with Tim had its initial bumps, even a brief split when Chelsea doubted her readiness for such a deep commitment. However, she emphasized that their connection was instantaneous.

She clarified that he was both amusing and quirky, but also able to engage in meaningful conversations – a trait hard to find these days. From the get-go, it was clear that they deeply cared for each other.

She also shared how they found the perfect balance in their relationship.

She remarked, ‘He’s simply extraordinary – the most remarkable person I’ve ever encountered in my life.’ What makes our relationship unique isn’t what people might assume. I value my independence and need time alone to recharge myself. He, on the other hand, is quite different. To make our relationship work, we had to learn each other’s ‘love languages,’ understanding how we express and receive affection in our own distinct ways.

Chelsea added, “It’s been just such an amazing journey.”

In my role as a lifestyle guide, I’d put it this way: Upon arriving in Honduras for our romantic adventure, my relationship hit a snag. My partner and I, unbeknownst to us at the time, shared mutual acquaintances. However, it wasn’t the familiar faces that caused our troubles, but rather my reluctance to proceed after we confided in each other about past indiscretions with these acquaintances, which had happened before our reality show began.

To add, Dave was hesitant about bringing Lauren into his social circle as well. This was due to the fact that his father wasn’t aware of his engagement yet, and his sister, who had become a source of conflict, disapproved of their connection entirely.

Among this season’s most lovable pairs, many spectators anticipated that Monica and Joey would walk down the aisle and live happily ever after. Yet, when it came time for them to exchange vows, Monica surprisingly chose not to at that moment, saying “I don’t, for now.

At this very instant, she expressed (through her tears), “It’s absolutely one hundred percent,” and she conveyed a sense of feeling that we, somehow, aren’t quite where we need to be yet. Joey nodded in agreement with her sentiments.

He reassured her with a hug, saying, “It’s perfectly fine.” He added that there’s an immense love between them, which is clear. However, he believes there are larger aspects and growth to focus on. In agreement with her, he admitted he wasn’t prepared yet. Furthermore, he was truthful in stating that he wasn’t one hundred percent ready at the moment either.

Despite having differing views on significant aspects of their lives, such as religion and politics, Ben and Sara appeared to agree by their wedding day. However, in the end, they chose to conclude their joint journey together.

As Sara, who once declared her undying affection for me, put it, ‘Ben, my love for you is immense, yet I’ve always yearned for a soulmate in sync with mine. Unfortunately, that harmony seems elusive today. Let me make this clear: I’m not rejecting you; I’m pursuing a connection that resonates deeper.’

Later on, she mentioned, “The bond between us feels incredibly genuine and my feelings are deeply involved, but when we discussed some core values I cherish dearly, my reasoning tells me it isn’t feasible.

A harmonious pair, Devin and Virginia, continued their journey smoothly – that is, until they encountered the subject of a prenuptial agreement.

However, larger problems were the deciding factor for Virginia, causing her to eventually decline the prospect of spending her lifetime with Devin.

She shared that throughout their relationship, she felt a strong urge to shield Devin. After leaving the altar, she cried and expressed that this may be due to cultural influences, but she has always valued protecting him. There were certain subjects, such as politics, that he preferred not to discuss, and there were aspects of their relationship they didn’t explore because he didn’t want her to delve into them too deeply. Essentially, they never reached the full depth of their relationship.

In the end, at least one pair – Daniel and Taylor – agreed to spend an eternity together, finding themselves in a romantic season that stretched beyond Christmas.

Despite appearing as if they encountered a significant challenge (as Taylor believed Daniel had previously followed and then unfollowed her on Instagram, thus recognizing her appearance before the event), they successfully navigated past that specific difficulty.

Indeed, following their heartfelt exchange of promises, they delighted in a stunning wedding ceremony and joyous celebration.

After swapping heartfelt promises, they relished in a breathtaking wedding and festive reception.

Both sentences convey the same meaning while using slightly different phrasing for variety and readability.

After our wedding, Daniel expressed his joy by saying, “We’ve accomplished it!”, sitting beside Taylor. Taylor joined in, expressing equal enthusiasm, “We can hardly wait to embark on the next phase of our lives together.

Initially, the renowned art dealer proposed to the writer of “Keeping Well” after a complex romantic situation involving Hannah Jiles, but after a brief engagement, they concluded that it was best for them to remain friends instead.

Previously, Brittany mentioned to People in an interview shared with Leo, “The connection simply didn’t materialize.” Initially, we discussed the potential of our relationship, but as time passed during our trip, it became evident that the connection wasn’t there. We both felt this, and being open communicators, it was a straightforward, respectful understanding. It was a smooth, amicable realization with no complications.

Monica discovered shocking explicit text messages exchanged between her partner, Stephen, and another woman, which led to an abrupt end of their relationship upon their return from Mexico. In response, Stephen expressed remorse immediately in episode eight, while later posting an apology on his social media platform following the broadcast.

In my social media posts on October 8th, I expressed a sincere hope that my presence hasn’t dampened anyone’s day. If unintentionally I did so, I extend my heartfelt apologies for intruding into your peaceful morning. I wish nothing but the absence of such a wake-up for you. Regardless, know that my affection remains undiminished for each and every one of you.

After leaving the confines of the pods, Hannah and Nick experienced a mix of good times and challenging moments, including some significant differences in opinion – to put it mildly. It’s also worth mentioning that Hannah expressed her belief: “Equality is demonstrated through equal contributions.

Everything culminated when Hannah chose not to walk down the aisle with him, which Nick described as “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 admitted to having gained valuable insights. Specifically, she acknowledged areas where she needs improvement. For instance, she is straightforward by nature, yet her method of expression could use refinement. She realized that the way one expresses oneself can make all the difference.

A perfect scientifically-fated match, Taylor and Garrett connected instantly and appeared meant for each other from the start, eventually declaring their love. However, a minor hiccup occurred when Taylor discovered he had responded to his ex’s private message (as Garrett claimed, he confirmed his engagement and ended the conversation then). Nevertheless, this incident became a footnote in their Love Is Blind love story.

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

Indeed, you’ve got it spot on! I was following along closely with Marissa and Ramses, two contestants who seemed destined for a successful relationship this season. However, Ramses unexpectedly decided to postpone their wedding due to some reservations he had.

In a heartfelt conversation, Marissa expresses her excitement about the promising future they share together, to which her partner replies, “I comprehend that falling in love involves taking a chance, and I get it.

Despite their differences, particularly regarding military issues, it might not be sufficient for them to reconcile successfully. He further stated, “Having been married and having observed other marriages, as well as listening to advice from other couples, I believe that love alone is insufficient…I think there must be additional factors contributing to a successful relationship.

Regarding Marissa, despite her efforts to move past their disagreement, upon realizing it was all over, she couldn’t hold back tears. “I wish you hadn’t been here for this event,” she says to him. “How could I be so certain and you not? It’s just awful, I wanted you to pick me.” About their separation, she laments, “This is the most difficult day of my life.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but be captivated by Tyler and Ashley’s blossoming relationship. Their affectionate bond seemed effortless, making them an adored couple among viewers. However, their smooth sailing hit a snag when Tyler revealed he had three children, which Ashley referred to as his “donor babies.” There’s been much discussion online about the extent of his parental role, a matter that Tyler himself has yet to address openly.

By October 2024’s reunion episode, Ashley and Tyler had managed to overcome that detail and not only reconcile but, surprisingly, they ended up getting married as husband and wife.

Two months ago, we embarked on a new path, and it has completely transformed us,” Tyler remarks as he sits next to Ashley following their wedding. “Now, we have the privilege of sharing the remainder of our lives together.

Ashley eventually revealed that their marriage had ended after more than a year, which they had decided to terminate.

In early January 2025, she confided in People magazine that Tyler and she have been apart for multiple weeks and have ultimately chosen to part ways in our marriage. Despite my hopes for openness and shared understanding in our relationship, it appears that our life goals are no longer compatible, leading me to conclude that I cannot sustain this union any longer.

By the time they returned to Washington, D.C. from Mexico, it appeared as though Alex and Tim had resolved their significant disagreement and were even closer than before. In truth, Tim had a heart-to-heart conversation with Alex’s father that strengthened their bond moving forward.

After Alex’s meeting with Tim’s family, they had another disagreement which led to Tim ending their engagement by stating he didn’t wish to have any further contact with Alex. Following this, both parties have spoken up in defense after the breakup, with Alex clarifying that their separation was not a mutual agreement on her part.

Following several disputes during the course of the season, Chelsea and Jimmy seemed to resolve their differences during a fun-filled outing at an amusement park just before their upcoming wedding.

In my professional opinion as a lifestyle expert, I must share that I found myself at a juncture where the thrilling amusement park ride known as our relationship had reached its peak and it was time for disembarkation. With a heavy heart, I made the difficult choice to call off our engagement, leaving Chelsea in tears of shock and disbelief.

Jimmy confessed his deep feelings for Chelsea during their date, saying, “I adore you deeply and long to build a relationship with you.” He added, “I truly hope it works out between us, but I’m not ready for marriage just yet—I can’t.

In simpler terms, he said, “We’re boiling it down to a single point of contention, but it’s actually been a series of major problems that have deeply affected me emotionally. One of these issues is that Chelsea exposed Jimmy’s past relationship with his female friend.

After another round of discussion about their past relationships, Chelsea departed with tears in her eyes, expressing her regret, “I had such high hopes for us.

The pair were both single during the March 2024 reunion.

As Clay shared his reservations about marriage, stemming from his perspective on his father’s unfaithfulness, AD offered him comfort, asserting that their relationship would endure and things were looking positive for them as a couple.

However, when it came time for him to make a lifelong commitment at the altar, Clay opted against it, explaining to AD that it wouldn’t be prudent for him to marry since he wasn’t prepared yet.

Cue the shock.

He assured AD, “I’ll put in the effort for us, and we’ll navigate this journey together. Regardless of what others may think or say, I acknowledge 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 until I am. At this moment, I can’t give you a definite ‘yes.’

It became clear to AD, causing her to break down in tears, that the relationship had been an unfortunate squandering of her valuable time.

Regarding Clay, he disclosed that both financial and emotional factors significantly influenced his decision to leave. He candidly stated, “I stood before a mirror and asked myself, ‘Am I a husband?'” To which he responded, “No, I’m not.” He also reflected, “Am I deeply in love?” His answer was, “No.

At the gathering, Clay admitted he erred by wanting to date AD, yet she subtly evaded discussing the possibility of reuniting in the future.

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

The couple from season six who agreed to spend forever together were 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. Amy’s father even warmly expressed his feelings towards 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 love was vibrant, but when they re-entered everyday life, their relationship lost its spark.

According to Brittany, things changed significantly when they returned to their home in Charlotte. The intensity and passion they felt while living in the pods seemed to lessen somewhat upon returning home.

Despite no longer being in a romantic relationship, their unique connection will endure forever, as expressed by Brittany during the reunion: “Our bond, though it’s not a romantic one now, will stand the test of time for all eternity.

In simpler terms, Laura and Jeramey’s engagement ended abruptly when Laura discovered that he had rekindled his relationship with Sarah Ann Bick, another member of their pod, 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 gathering held in March 2024, Jeramey disclosed that he and Sarah Ann have had an on-again, off-again relationship for about a year now, which began after the production of the show. However, their romance has recently 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 certain living standards (no plastic dishes, she insisted). However, it was Izzy’s deception about his financial background that Stacy pointed out as a significant factor in her decision to not tie the knot.

Regardless of not exchanging vows at the altar, Stacy 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 was grateful to Izzy for helping her open up emotionally, but she wasn’t completely confident about their long-term prospects. She expressed that being “fairly certain” wasn’t sufficient for her to commit for the remainder of her life.

Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.

In June 2025, the only notable achievement from season five faced an unexpected twist when Lydia revealed on AD Smith’s podcast “What’s the Reality” that she had separated from her husband Milton, barely three years into their marriage.

She stated, “It wasn’t a single issue; rather, it was a series of circumstances and matters that accumulated. When I mentioned, ‘I’ll notify you when the divorce documents are prepared,’ his reaction was, ‘I won’t sign the papers unless there’s a Non-Disclosure Agreement.’

She expressed that it was past due for her to speak up, as she felt compelled to express her ideas and personal journey. The burden of keeping silent about what she had endured privately had grown too heavy for her.

During their marriage, Milton, aged 26, was reportedly found to be heavily flirting with women and buying them drinks at bars by some. Lydia disclosed this information and added that he denied these allegations but instead turned the tables on her, questioning why she would even give credence to such rumors.

For this couple, opposites appeared to be drawn together throughout the entire season…that is, until their wedding day approached. Noticing Paul’s uncertainty, Micah proposed that Paul voice his decision first, and it turned out to be a decline of the proposal for Paul.

Micah expressed, “I feel as if I’m in complete chaos,” and regarding Paul, he added, “Had he wished to marry me, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to respond with a resounding ‘Yes!’

During the reunion gathering, Paul expressed his regret for the remark he made about Micah in a private conversation, stating that he found it hard to visualize Micah as a mother.

Paul clarified, “What I said was not fair to her, I believe a more accurate way to express myself is admitting that I don’t see us being suitable parents.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my thoughts on the rollercoaster ride of the duo’s relationship. Despite briefly patching things up after filming, it seemed that their bond wasn’t destined to last forever. Paul himself confided that they parted ways for good when he paid a visit to Micah in Arizona.

In “After the Altar”, Paul confessed that he had started seeing a new lady, who took pleasure in exploring new places and appreciated his culinary abilities. Later, he made their relationship public on Instagram with lash specialist Geneva Dunham.

Although Kwame’s mother declined to attend the wedding and some might find his discussions with Micah questionable, given their bond formed within the pods, Kwame and Chelsea were among the trio who exchanged vows at the close of season four.

At the get-together, Chelsea disclosed that she had recently met her husband’s mother. Meanwhile, Kwame expressed regret and apologized to his wife and her relatives for his actions, acknowledging that his conversations with Micah were not an accurate portrayal 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 finding oneself with another woman to recognize a mistake was made. This is exactly what happened when Zack first proposed to Irina Solomonova, but later on, the couple split during their trip to Mexico.

Following Bliss’ request for another opportunity, the duo bravely disregarded the statistics and Bliss’ father’s desires, ultimately exchanging vows at the altar. (They skipped neither the ceremony nor the chance to dance together for the first time to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” a song that had become their bond while in the pods.)

In the wake of their heartwarming finale, I couldn’t help but post a snap of the happy couple on Instagram, expressing my admiration for their everlasting joy as “Eternal Bliss”.

In the vibrant tapestry of my life as a lifestyle expert, I am thrilled to share that come November 2023, a beautiful new chapter unfolded for a delightful couple as they announced their eager anticipation of their first bundle of joy. Fast forward to April 2024, the world welcomed Galileo Terri Rayne Goytowski, a beacon of hope and love that illuminated their lives.

It feels like no other Love Is Blind pair from Season 1 compared to the connection between Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed!

In the study, the oldest pair – Tiffany who was 36 and Brett who was 37 – still went ahead with their vows, despite an unexpected wardrobe mishap on Brett’s part as his trousers didn’t fit correctly on their wedding day. (Kudos to Lucia the seamstress, you’re a lifesaver!)

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.

Yet, as soon as filming wrapped up, their past relationship was revived, becoming apparent that they had been dating once more during the season three reunion special.

Approximately a month ago, the pair disclosed their decision to part ways, citing ongoing legal issues related to infidelity accusations against SK. In a joint statement issued on social media last November, SK and Raven requested privacy during this challenging period, as they cannot reveal more details due to the ongoing legal proceedings. They also expressed gratitude for the support and interest in their relationship.

Onlookers looked on with concern as Jackie decided to offer another opportunity to Josh Demas, the other individual she had bonded with inside the pods, by arranging a get-together with him prior to terminating her relationship with Marshall.

During the reunion, Jackie clarified the sequence of events regarding her past relationships. “I ended things with Marshall before meeting Josh in the coffee shop,” she asserted. “It appears that I might have been unfaithful. But let me assure you, I’m not a cheater.

In a heartfelt confession, I, a fervent admirer, acknowledge my role in the dissolution of Jackie’s bond with Marshall. I admit that our connection, for whatever reasons, was destined not to last. It’s on me, and I own it.

Regarding Jackie and Josh’s relationship, they were previously dating and cohabiting in “After the Altar.” However, Jackie revealed during an Instagram Live session in September 2023 that their romance had come to an end.

Regarding Marshall, he shared with TopMob that following the conclusion of the show, he had a brief encounter with contestant Kacia Clark. Marshall put it this way, “We made an effort, but I decided to keep my distance after that whole experience.

After “The Altar”, Marshall confessed that he has been in a relationship with Dr. Chay Barnes for an entire year and desires to spend the rest of his life with her. Their engagement took place in December 2023.

Nancy and Bartise experienced one of the more dramatic weddings on “Love Is Blind”, not due to the involvement of the bride or groom themselves.

In the final episode of season three, it turned out that while Nancy was eager to tie the knot, Bartise wasn’t as certain about their union. This unexpected news didn’t go down well with Nancy’s family, who openly expressed their dissatisfaction towards Bartise without any apologies.

As a lifestyle advisor, I might put it this way: Bartise and Nancy’s relationship has been a rollercoaster, going from close friends to mere acquaintances, then back to silence, only to rekindle their friendship once more. To quote Bartise, he said, “It’s been a journey of going from friends to strangers, then communicating less than nothing, and now we’re friends again.

As a lifestyle enthusiast speaking in April 2023, I’m thrilled to share that Bartisse, a familiar face from “Perfect Match,” proudly welcomed his newborn son, Hayden, into the world. However, he’s yet to disclose the identity of Hayden’s mother in the public sphere.

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

Nancy has started a new romantic connection, though she hasn’t disclosed the identity of her partner in public yet.

 

In the final episode of the season, people saw Alexa and Brennon exchange vows amidst their dear ones, marking their wedding ceremony.

In heartfelt promises, Alexa exclaimed, ‘You bring laughter, stimulate my thoughts, but most importantly, you bring joy to my life.’

In January 2024, the couple happily shared that they were anticipating their first child, and their lovely daughter, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, arrived in July 2024.

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

During their relationship, there often seemed to be a misunderstanding between them, leading to numerous disagreements. Despite reaching the wedding altar together, Zanab expressed her feelings by saying, “You have shown disregard for me. You have belittled me. You have criticized me harshly. And to add to that, you alone have destroyed my self-esteem.

Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.

He shared with TopMob News that despite facing numerous obstacles, he was making progress and navigating towards calmer seas. He expressed optimism that they could carry on their relationship even if they didn’t get married 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 joyfully exchanged wedding vows.

2022 saw Colleen expressing to TopMob News why she decided to proceed with the wedding. She said, “The moment I witnessed him crying and snortling, I thought, ‘He’s mine.’ So, from that instant, I knew I would say yes, and that was it.

After nearly four years of marriage, the couple decided to end their relationship. This wasn’t a decision made casually; it was carefully considered over time. They shared on Instagram in May 2025 that it had been a challenging choice and a deeply emotional journey for them both.

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, “Shall we date in the future?” To which I replied, “I’m not sure about the method yet. I believe it would be wise to avoid online dating platforms for now.
