Love Is Blind's Mark Cuevas Denies Blindsiding Wife Aubrey Rainey

Love is…blindsided?

Mark Cuevas, a former participant on Love Is Blind, is refuting Aubrey Rainey‘s assertion that she was unaware of their separation when he made their split public on March 28. He claims that he revealed the news to address her misunderstanding, not to conceal any alleged infidelity.

Mark clarified that he recognizes the impact emotions can have on memories, but his actions were never intended to cause harm or surprise anyone unnecessarily. In a statement released on April 1, he emphasized his priorities are now centered around peace, parenting, and safeguarding what truly matters – their children, Ace (3) and Axton (3), whom he shares with Aubrey.

31-year-old Mark, who starred in the initial season of Netflix’s dating series, refuted rumors about infidelity in his marriage and asserted that he had already made the decision to end it prior to the announcement. Interestingly, he mentioned that he and his spouse had already arranged a custody plan for their two sons, but he has yet to officially file for divorce.

TopMob News has reached out to Ashley’s reps and hasn’t heard back.

Previously famous individual, along with Aubrey, first declared they stand together, stating their shared focus is on their boys. They pledged to parent cooperatively, showing love, respect, and collaboration.

After much deliberation and discussions, Aubrey and I chose to go separate ways a few weeks back. This wasn’t an effortless choice, but something we both feel is necessary for our personal development and for the well-being of our family.

31-year-old stated, “This wasn’t about exchanging words or opinions. It appears he was exposed for his affairs and needed to hide the truth to protect his public persona. I wasn’t involved in making that statement, and it seems just as surprising to me as it is to others.

The 31-year-old stated, “This wasn’t about talking or debating. He was exposed for his relationships and needed to hide the truth to protect his public persona. I wasn’t involved in that claim, and this appears to be a surprise to me, as well as everyone else.

That same day, Aubrey shared a sweet photo of her and her sons’ hands with hearts drawn on them.

In my own words, I pen down that life carries on, despite moments when it seems as if everything around me is unraveling. These two precious souls remain my utmost focus, a privilege I cherish as their mother.

Later on, he refuted his wife’s claims by stating to People magazine on March 29th that “much of what is circulating online isn’t accurate.

He also expressed his hope that everyone would recall that every story has two perspectives, and most crucially, there are two young ones right in the heart of it all.

That same day, Aubrey shared a sweet photo of her and her sons’ hands with hearts drawn on them.

In her Instagram post, she shared that life continues, regardless of how shattered things may seem. What truly matters are these young ones, who have and will always remain her top concern. Indeed, she feels fortunate to be their mother.

The romance didn’t develop as expected for the couple when they arrived in Honduras, as Dave disclosed that he and his former fiancée shared acquaintances. However, it wasn’t their mutual circle of friends that caused the issues, but rather Dave’s reluctance to proceed after learning about Lauren’s past relationship with someone known to both of them prior to the show.

To add to that, it’s worth noting that Dave was reluctant to bring Lauren into his social circle, as he hadn’t yet informed his father about his engagement and his sister, who has been a source of disagreement, strongly dislikes the relationship between them.

Many people thought that Monica and Joey were destined for marriage during the current season, but when it came time for them to exchange vows, Monica chose not to at that moment. Instead, she said, “I don’t, for now.

At this very instant, she shared with a quivering voice, “It’s one hundred percent,” and expressed that we, in some way, haven’t quite reached our goal yet. This sentiment resonated deeply with Joey as well.

He reassured her after their hug, saying, “It’s perfectly fine,” he clarified. “I believe we both harbor a great deal of affection for each other, and it shows. However, I feel there are larger issues and opportunities for growth. And I concur, I don’t think either of us is ready yet. To put it candidly, I’m not fully prepared at this moment either.

Initially, Ben and Sara appeared to have contrasting views about significant aspects of their joint lives such as religion and politics. However, come their wedding day, it appeared that they had found common ground. In the end, they chose to part ways in concluding their tale together.

According to Sara, who expressed her feelings about not having a future with Ben, she said, “Ben, I adore you deeply, but what I truly desire is a partner who shares the same frequency with me. Regrettably, I can’t find that in our relationship right now. I apologize if this seems unclear.

Later on, she mentioned, “The bond between us feels incredibly genuine, and my feelings are deeply involved. However, when discussing core values that are very important to me, my reasoning tells me it just won’t work out.

Afterward, the harmonious duo known as Devin and Virginia, appeared to be moving forward steadily, that is, until they encountered a point of contention – the discussion about a prenuptial agreement.

However, more substantial problems arose, which eventually led Virginia to 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 often felt a need to shield Devin in our relationship. Perhaps it’s cultural, but protecting him has always been significant for me. Consequently, there were subjects he didn’t want to discuss, such as politics, and there were areas he didn’t want me to probe. As a result, we never fully explored certain aspects of our relationship.

At the end of everything that had been discussed, it was certain that one pair, Daniel and Taylor, agreed to spend an eternity together and share a romantic time beyond Christmas.

Despite initially appearing as if they had a significant challenge – with Taylor believing Daniel may have recognized her from Instagram due to him following and then unfollowing her before the event – they were able to successfully navigate past this specific hurdle.

Indeed, following their heartfelt promises, they savored a stunning wedding ceremony and an exhilarating celebration.

After our wedding, Daniel remarked, “We’ve accomplished it!” Sitting beside him, Taylor chimed in, expressing their enthusiasm: “We can’t wait to embark on the next phase of our lives together.

Despite the renowned art dealer proposing to the writer of “Keeping Well” after a love triangle involving Hannah Jiles, the two eventually concluded that they worked best as friends following their brief engagement.

Previously, Brittany expressed to People in a shared interview with Leo that “the connection” simply didn’t materialize between them. After an initial discussion about the potential of their relationship, they both experienced a lack of connection during their trip. As effective communicators, they acknowledged this and parted ways amicably and respectfully. It was a smooth and straightforward understanding between them.

Monica discovered shocking explicit text messages exchanged between her partner Stephen and another woman, which led to an abrupt end of their relationship upon returning from Mexico. In response, Stephen offered an apology during episode eight and later posted a statement on his social media platform after the episode was broadcasted.

He expressed his regret on Instagram Stories on October 8th, saying he hoped he hadn’t made anyone’s day worse just by being there, and if he had, he apologized for intruding on their morning. He wished they didn’t have to start their day at all, but assured them he would still love them just the same.

After stepping out of the pods, Hannah and Nick experienced a mix of positive moments, challenges, and, to put it mildly, some disagreements. (It’s also worth mentioning that “Equality is demonstrated when you start contributing as equally as others.”)

Everything culminated when Hannah chose not to walk down the aisle with him, an event that Nick described 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 the October episode of The Viall Files podcast, she admitted, “I’ve picked up a lot of insights, and I’ve realized there are areas where I can improve.” She specifically mentioned her directness, stating, “I’m aware of my straightforward nature, but I’ve discovered that the way I express myself needs refinement. And it seems that how one delivers a message is crucial.

In a fortuitous union reminiscent of two stars aligning in the realm of scientific discovery, Taylor and Garrett found an instant connection, as if their paths were preordained to meet. However, they faced a minor hiccup when Taylor discovered that Garrett had engaged in a digital conversation with his former partner (Garrett claimed he confirmed his engagement and quickly ended it). Regardless of this bump in the road, their story became a memorable one, echoing themes from the popular series “Love Is Blind.

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

Indeed, you’ve understood correctly: Despite Marissa and Ramses climbing up as strong contenders among this season’s couples, Ramses eventually decided to postpone their wedding due to some doubts he had.

Marissa shares with her partner, “Our future looks incredibly promising, and I’d like to spend it as your wife.” In response, he says, “I recognize that falling in love involves taking a chance, I get it.

Yet, he emphasized that despite their contrasts, particularly on military issues, these differences might not bridge the gap between them. “Having been married and observing other marriages as well as listening to advice from other couples,” he continued, “I believe love alone is insufficient… I think there should be additional factors working harmoniously.

Regarding Marissa, despite her efforts to move past their differences, when she realized it was all over, she couldn’t hold back her 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 just terrible, I wanted you to pick me.” Expressing her feelings about their separation, she added, “Today is the worst day of my life.

After viewers enjoyed watching their laid-back relationship blossom, Tyler and Ashley’s popularity soared. However, tensions arose when it was revealed that Tyler had three children, which Ashley called his “donor babies.” (There are ongoing discussions online about the level of his parental involvement, a topic he has not commented on publicly).

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

Tyler remarks, “Two months ago, we embarked on a new path, and it’s transformed everything for us.” He says this as he sits next to Ashley following their wedding, adding, “And now, we have the privilege of spending the remainder of our lives together.

Later on, Ashley disclosed that the couple had ended their marriage after more than a year.

In a statement released in January 2025, she shared with People magazine that Tyler and she have been apart for weeks and have come to the tough conclusion to part ways. Despite my hopes for openness and harmony in our relationship, it has become evident that our goals no longer coincide, which leaves me without an option but to leave this marriage.

By the time they returned to Washington, D.C. from Mexico, it appeared as though Alex and Tim had resolved their significant disagreement, their relationship appearing stronger than ever. In truth, Tim had a heartfelt conversation with Alex’s father which seemed to secure their future bond.

After the encounter between Alex and Tim’s family, they had another disagreement which led to Tim breaking off their engagement by stating he didn’t wish for any further interaction with Alex. Since then, both have publicly defended their positions following the breakup, with Alex clarifying that the separation was not consensual on her part.

As the season drew to a close, I found myself in a series of disagreements with both Chelsea and Jimmy. However, just before our upcoming wedding, we decided to turn things around during a fun-filled day at an amusement park – a date that seemed to help us bury the hatchet and move forward together.

Nonetheless, Jimmy openly expressed his desire for their rollercoaster relationship to conclude, leading to the termination of his engagement, leaving Chelsea in tears due to his unexpected choice.

Jimmy expressed to Chelsea during their date, “I adore you deeply and long for a committed relationship with you. However, despite my strong desire for this to succeed, I’m not ready for marriage yet. I just can’t.

He stated that they’ve boiled it down to a single point of contention, though originally, it encompassed five or six major problems that deeply affected him emotionally. One of these issues was the revelation by Chelsea about Jimmy’s past relationship with his female friend.

Following another round of discussions regarding their past relationships, Chelsea bid farewell, weeping, saying “I had such high hopes for us.

The pair were both single during the March 2024 reunion.

As Clay voiced his reservations about marriage because of his perspective on his father’s unfaithfulness, AD offered comfort by stating that their relationship was strong and everything appeared to be going smoothly for them.

In the moment when the prospect of swearing an eternal vow at the altar arose, I found myself uttering “I don’t” instead, explaining to AD that it was far from prudent for him to tie the knot, given his unreadiness.

Cue the shock.

He assured AD that he would invest the effort needed, and they would navigate this journey as a team. Regardless of what others might think, he acknowledged his readiness for marriage was not yet at its peak, and she deserved nothing less than the best. If he wasn’t prepared to commit one hundred percent, he wouldn’t proceed with her until he was ready… For now, he couldn’t offer a definitive ‘yes’.

In an emotional outburst, AD admitted through tears that the relationship had been a squandering of her precious “time and energy.

Regarding Clay, he openly disclosed that both financial and emotional connections significantly influenced his decision to leave. He candidly reflected, “When I looked at myself in the mirror, I asked, ‘Am I a husband?'” To which he answered honestly, “No.” He also questioned, “Am I deeply in love?” and found the answer was “no” as well.

At the gathering, Clay admitted he had erred by wanting to date AD, but she seemed evasive about the prospect of reuniting.

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

In the sixth season, the pair who agreed to an eternal bond were Amy and Johnny. Not only did they mark their fresh start with a stunning ceremony, but they also effortlessly combined their families into one unit. Remarkably, Amy’s father expressed his affection for Johnny’s sister by 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 intense, Brittany and Kenneth’s love story lost momentum when they re-entered everyday life.

According to Brittany, things changed significantly when they returned to Charlotte. The intensity and passion they felt while living together seemed to lessen once they got back home.

In their post-engagement phase, these ex-fiancees continue to maintain friendship. At the reunion, Brittany expressed, “Even though our romantic connection has ended, the special bond between us will endure forever.

Laura and Jeramey’s engagement abruptly ended when Laura discovered that her fiance had reunited with one of his fellow podcast members, Sarah Ann Bick, 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 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 started after they filmed the show together. However, they have parted ways since then.

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

In the fifth season, the couple faced several challenges, such as Izzy’s past bond with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s preference for fine dining over paper plates. However, it was Izzy’s deceit about his financial background that Stacy pointed out as a significant factor in her decision to not get married.

Although Stacy didn’t utter “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 was grateful to Izzy for helping her open up emotionally, yet she wasn’t completely confident about their long-term prospects. She stated that being “fairly certain” wasn’t sufficient for her to commit to a lifelong decision.

Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.

Season five’s sole success story came from arguably its most unlikely pairing.

After an initial hiccup when it came out that Lydia was already in a relationship with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s pod-mate, prior to the show, it was only this geology-loving duo who managed to keep their relationship intact throughout the experiment.

Lydia exclaimed, “Marrying him has made my dream a reality!” She was overjoyed beyond words. Now, with him by her side, she felt complete. It’s as if she’d found her own haven, a place where she feels secure.

As an attentive analyst, I concluded based on all the evidence I gathered: This appears to be the correct choice.

As a lifestyle advisor, I must share an intriguing tale of a duo whose polarities initially sparked a magnetic connection throughout the seasons, only for their bond to falter at the altar. Upon noticing Paul’s reservations, Micah bravely requested that he express his thoughts first. And when he did, it seemed Paul decided to step back from the marital commitment.

1. “Micah expressed feeling completely overwhelmed and out of sorts, using the phrase, ‘I feel like I’m a disaster.'”

2. “In other words, Micah stated that he was in a state of chaos or disarray.”

3. “Micah confided that he felt utterly disheveled and messy, saying, ‘I literally feel like a disaster.'”

4. “Micah shared that he felt as if everything around him was falling apart, using the expression, ‘I feel like I’m in shambles.'”

5. “When it comes to marrying Paul, Micah affirmed his commitment by saying, ‘If Paul had proposed, I would have accepted without hesitation.'”

6. “In response to a question about marrying Paul, Micah made it clear that he was fully on board with the idea, stating, ‘I 100 percent would have said ‘I do’ if Paul asked me to marry him.'”

In the heartfelt gathering, I acknowledged my previous remark during our private conversation, where I expressed difficulty envisioning Micah in the role of a mother. I wanted to express this sincerely: I regret that comment and offer my apologies, as it did not reflect the deep respect I have for Micah’s journey and potential as a parent.

Paul clarified that he may have been unjust in my previous statement. A more appropriate way to express it, he suggested, is that I don’t see us having a parental role together.

After wrapping up the movie, the two managed a short-lived reconciliation; however, they struggled to maintain their relationship long-term. Later on, Paul clarified that they split permanently during his trip to see Micah in Arizona.

Or simply:

The pair briefly got back together post-filming, but ultimately couldn’t sustain their relationship. Paul later confirmed they broke up definitively when he visited Micah in Arizona.

As a devoted reader of “After the Altar,” I was thrilled to learn that the protagonist, Paul, had entered a new relationship. His partner, Geneva Dunham, a talented eyelash stylist and avid traveler, appreciates his culinary abilities. Eventually, they made their romance public on Instagram.

Regardless of Kwame’s mother not attending the wedding and some questionable discussions he had with Micah in the pods, Kwame and Chelsea were among the trio who got married at the conclusion of season four.

At the gathering, Chelsea disclosed that she had recently met her husband’s mother, while Kwame apologized to his wife and her relatives for his actions, admitting that his conversations with Micah weren’t the most 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 moment or even a new romantic prospect to understand that you’ve made an error in judgment. This was Zack’s experience when he initially got engaged to Irina Solomonova, only for the relationship to end during their vacation in Mexico.

Following Bliss’ request for another opportunity, they brazenly challenged the statistics (and even Bliss’ father’s expectations) by exchanging vows at the altar. (Notably, they didn’t just watch, but danced to their special song – Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” which had connected them during their time in the pods.)

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

In November 2023, the pair announced that they were going to have their initial child. Later, in April 2024, they introduced baby girl Galileo Terri Rayne Goytowski into their family.

It feels like it’s been a while since Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed, from the initial season, have had such a fitting romantic duo in the LIB (Love Is Blind) series!

In the experiment, Tiffany, who was 36, and her partner Brett, aged 37, went ahead with their vows despite an unexpected wardrobe mishap: Brett couldn’t fit into his wedding trousers. A big shoutout goes to Lucia, the seamstress, for quickly fixing the situation!

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.

Conversely, it was discovered that the ex-partners got back together once filming ended, as they were seen dating again at the season three reunion special.

Approximately a month ago, the couple made an announcement that they were parting ways due to SK’s infidelity accusations. In a joint statement posted on social media in November, SK and Raven stated that, due to ongoing legal matters regarding these allegations, they couldn’t disclose further information and requested privacy during this challenging period. They appreciated their supporters who had followed their love story and believed in them.

Spectators looked on unhappily as Jackie decided to offer a second opportunity to Josh Demas, the person she had bonded with in the pods, instead of continuing her relationship with Marshall by meeting up with him first and eventually breaking off her engagement.

During the reunion, Jackie clarified the sequence of events. “Marshall and I had ended our relationship before I encountered Josh at the coffee shop,” she explained. “It appears I was unfaithful. But let me assure you, I am not a cheater.

Jackie later acknowledged the conclusion of her relationship with Marshall, admitting that she is responsible for her choices of words and behavior. Essentially, she explained that their compatibility was not intended to last.

Regarding Jackie’s relationship with Josh, they were still dating and sharing a life together in the show “After the Altar”. However, Jackie disclosed during a live session on her Instagram in September 2023 that their relationship had ended.

Regarding Marshall, he shared with TopMob that following the conclusion of the competition, he had a short interaction with fellow contestant Kacia Clark. He elaborated, “We made an effort, but I decided it was best for me to step away and disconnect from everything related to that experience.

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

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

In the final episode of the third season, it turned out that while Nancy was eager to get married, Bartise wasn’t as certain about their relationship. This news was met with displeasure by Nancy’s family, who openly criticized Bartise without reservation.

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

In April 2023, Bartisse, a contestant from the show “Perfect Match,” revealed the birth of his son named Hayden. However, he has not disclosed the identity of Hayden’s mother in public yet.

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

As a lifestyle aficionado, I find myself in an exciting chapter of my life – embarking on a new relationship. However, I’m taking a moment to savor this private aspect and haven’t disclosed the identity of my companion just yet.

In the final episode of the season, audiences witnessed the wedding of Alexa and Brennon, surrounded by those closest to them.

With heartfelt enthusiasm, Alexa expressed, “You bring laughter into my life, stimulate my thoughts, and above all, you bring me joy.

In January 2024, the couple declared they were anticipating their first child, and by July of the same year, they proudly introduced their daughter named Vienna Ziva Lemieux into the world.

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

During their relationship leading up to their marriage, there were frequent disagreements between Zanab and Cole because they often seemed to hold different views or opinions. These disagreements culminated in a series of heated arguments. However, despite these issues, they managed to reach the wedding altar together. But on that significant day, Zanab expressed her feelings by saying, “You have shown disregard for me. You have spoken unkindly about me. You have criticized me harshly. And let me tell you honestly, you alone have destroyed my self-esteem.

Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.

He shared with TopMob News that despite encountering rough patches, they were making progress and discovering calmer seas. He expressed hope that they could carry on their relationship, even if they didn’t tie the knot 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, the couple remained certain about their bond and joyfully declared their commitment with a resounding “I do”.

Colleen explained to TopMob News why she decided to proceed with the wedding: “The moment I saw him crying and snorting, I thought, ‘He’s mine.’ So I knew right then that I would be saying ‘yes’ when I saw him.

And for those wondering, Colleen confirmed, “A year-and-a-half later, we’re very, very happy.”

During the season finale, Sal wasn’t able to say, “I do.”

In an TopMob News interview, he revealed that he was single after filming.

He asked, “So, any plans for dating in the future?” But he admitted, “I’m not sure about my strategy. I believe the most effective way might be avoiding online dating apps.
