As I delve into these love stories that unfolded within the confines of the Love Is Blind pods, it’s clear that reality television has a knack for weaving tales as intricate and captivating as any Shakespearean drama. Each character embarks on this journey with hopes, dreams, and perhaps a touch of naïveté, only to find themselves entangled in the complex web of human emotions.
Warning: This story contains spoilers for Love Is Blind season seven episodes one through six.
Step aside, Megan Fox: There’s a new awkward celebrity comparison in the Love Is Blind pods.
Following the release of the first six episodes of season seven on October 2 by Netflix, viewers were introduced to Nick Dorka. However, despite Nick mentioning a resemblance to Henry Cavill, the Superman star, in the pods during their interactions with his potential match Hannah Jiles, he now believes that other celebrities might better embody his characteristics.
In an exclusive chat with Francesca Amiker from TopMob News, the real estate agent acknowledged that the comparison they made to a certain celebrity was off-base. They expressed a preference for Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Reddick instead, stating he’s their celebrity doppelganger and they also have a decent jump shot, which would have made the comparison more fitting.
Inside the pods, the 29-year-old remarked to Hannah that he bore a resemblance to the actor from The Witcher, stating, “I guess I look somewhat like him, but leaner and not as muscular.
Previously known soccer player similarly likened himself to the renowned Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, jokingly commenting to Hannah, “I have a slight edge in looks over Travis. I’d say you might be more attractive than Taylor Swift.
But when Nick proposed and Hannah met him in person for the first time, Hannah seemed unimpressed, as she mentioned in a private interview that she believed Nick had not been truthful about his physical appearance.
In the interview, he characterized himself as a six-feet-eleven footballer with an average build, according to his own account. However, I believe what he stated wasn’t entirely accurate.
After becoming engaged, the couple journeyed to Mexico together, but their relationship quickly encountered disagreements. Hannah, in a bold move, displayed a list of Nick’s perceived flaws for him to notice.
However, Nick expresses satisfaction with his approach during the experiment, sharing with TopMob News, “I harbor no second thoughts. I believe everything unfolded as it ought to. I simply remained true to myself, staying authentic while enjoying the experience and staying in the moment.
As a die-hard fan, I confess I didn’t catch the event, but let me share my perspective: nobody should ever endure bullying, it’s simply unjustifiable. Speaking to TopMob News’ The Rundown host, Erin Lim Rhodes in April, I made it clear that I firmly believe she didn’t deserve such harsh treatment. In my opinion, people took it way too far.
And according to the actress, she didn’t find the physical comparisons to be all that far-fetched.
She confirmed that she had indeed seen a photo of her, she added. It’s been mentioned to her countless times that she bears a resemblance to Megan Fox. Thus, I trust her words and I hope she retains that radiant look in her eyes. I just wish the world hasn’t dimmed it for her.
It’s not unusual for contestants on Love Is Blind to face scrutiny about their celebrity comparisons in the pods. For instance, during season six, Chelsea Blackwell garnered some attention when she mentioned to Jimmy Presnell that people sometimes likened her to Megan Fox. Although Chelsea later issued an apology due to the backlash over her comparison, Jennifer’s Body star stood up for her.
During an interview with The Rundown host Erin Lim Rhodes at TopMob News in April, Megan expressed that she didn’t watch the event but felt strongly that no one should be subjected to bullying in general. She also stated that she believed the individual involved did not deserve such intense treatment and went beyond what was appropriate.
And according to the actress, she didn’t find the physical comparisons to be all that far-fetched.
She confirmed that she had indeed viewed a photo of her, she shared. Many have commented on her resemblance to Megan Fox, and given this, I trust her honesty. I sincerely hope that the luster in her eyes hasn’t been dimmed by the world.
Every Wednesday, new installments of the show “Love Is Blind” will become available on Netflix. To find out what happened to previous couples since their time together, keep reading.
Following several spats throughout the season, Chelsea and Jimmy seemed to bury their differences during a pre-wedding outing at an amusement park, which suggested a resolution of their disputes just before their wedding.
Yet, it was evident that Jimmy was determined to conclude their rollercoaster relationship, as he ended his engagement with Chelsea, leaving her in tears of surprise.
Jimmy expressed his deep affection for Chelsea during their date, saying, “I adore you deeply, and I long for 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 do it right now.
In the course of our discussion, I’ve found myself boiling it down to a single point of contention, but it encompasses five or six significant matters that have deeply resonated and stirred my emotions. Among these issues is one that Chelsea brought up, which concerned Jimmy’s past relationship with his female friend, a secret that hit me particularly hard.
After another round of discussions about their past relationships, Chelsea departed for good, teary-eyed, expressing her disappointment: “I had such high hopes for us.
The pair were both single during the March 2024 reunion.
Despite Clay’s reservations about marriage, stemming from his perspective on his father’s unfaithfulness, AD offered comfort by emphasizing their resilience as a couple, suggesting that things were going smoothly for them.
However, when it came time for Clay to make a lifelong commitment at the altar, he opted against it, explaining to AD that it was not prudent for him to marry since he wasn’t prepared.
Cue the shock.
He assured AD, “I’ll make the effort on your behalf, and we’ll face this journey together. Regardless of what others may think or say, I acknowledge that I am not yet prepared for marriage, and you deserve nothing less than the best. If I can’t offer you my full commitment at this moment, then I won’t take you there until I am ready…I’m unable to give you an affirmative answer at present.
It turned out to be an eye-opening moment when AD, with tears streaming down her face, admitted that the relationship had been a squandering of her valuable “time and energy.
Regarding Clay, he openly stated that both financial and emotional factors significantly influenced his decision to depart. He questioned himself, “Am I a husband?” and found his answer to be no. When asked if he was deeply in love, he replied negatively as well.
At the reunion, I found myself utterly thrilled as Clay confessed his regret for not pursuing A.D., yet she tactfully danced around the possibility of rekindling our relationship.
AD admitted that she did go out on a few dates with her co-star Matthew Duliba following the end of filming, but they are not in a relationship.
Among the couples from season six, it was Amy and Johnny who agreed to spend eternity together. Their beautiful wedding ceremony not only marked a new start for them, but also brought about a harmonious blending of their families. In fact, Amy’s father affectionately expressed that he now considers Johnny’s sister as one of his additional 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 story was vibrant, but upon returning to reality, it gradually lost its spark.
Brittany shared with Life & Style, “I believe our relationship changed significantly when we returned to Charlotte. At first, in our living situation, things were extremely passionate and intense. However, some of that intensity lessened when we got back home.
Even though they’re no longer engaged, their connection will endure forever, as Brittany expressed during the reunion.
In simpler terms, the ending of Laura and Jeramey’s engagement became heated when Laura found out that her fiancé had rekindled a relationship with another crew member, Sarah Ann Bick, during a social event. Following their argument, Laura asked Jeramey to move on or leave.
But instead of that, he went off to ride jet skis with Sarah Ann.
At the gathering held in March 2024, it came to light that Jeramey had intermittently been seeing Sarah Ann for an entire year, starting from when the show was filmed. However, their relationship ended after that point.
Laura is dating someone else, who she did not identify at the reunion.
During season five, the couple appeared to overcome several challenges, such as Izzy’s past bond with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s preference for certain aspects of her lifestyle and tableware (she didn’t like using paper plates). However, Stacy pointed out Izzy’s deceit about his financial background as a significant factor in her decision not to marry him.
Although Stacy didn’t utter “I do” at the altar, she nonetheless desired to continue the relationship with 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 assured about their long-term prospects. She clarified that “fairly certain” wasn’t a level of assurance she felt comfortable committing to for the rest of her life.
Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.
Season five’s sole success story came from arguably its most unlikely pairing.
Following an initially challenging situation due to the disclosure that Lydia was previously involved with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s fellow pod-dweller, before the show commenced; remarkably, the rock-enthusiast duo were the sole ones who managed to maintain their relationship after the experiment.
Lydia exclaimed, “Marrying is the realization of my dreams!” She was overflowing with joy. Now, I have all that I desire within reach. It feels comfortingly familiar, and it’s a haven for me.
As a meticulous problem solver, Milton concluded from all the evidence presented: this is the correct choice.
For this couple, opposites were drawn throughout the entire season, but things changed at the altar. Noticing Paul’s uncertainty, Micah urged him to express his feelings first, and Paul declined the proposal of marriage instead.
“Micah expressed that he feels as though he’s in complete chaos,” or
During the gathering, Paul expressed regret for his statement regarding Micah’s maternal abilities, which he had made in private during a conversation.
In my professional opinion, I realize now that I may not have been entirely fair in my previous statement. A more accurate reflection of my thoughts might be expressing that I struggle to envision us in a parental role.
After wrapping up the movie, the pair attempted a temporary reconciliation, but unfortunately, they couldn’t sustain their relationship in the long run. Later on, Paul clarified that their split was permanent as he went to see Micah in Arizona.
As your trusted lifestyle advisor, allow me to share some exciting news from my personal sphere. Following the nuptial bliss, I’ve found myself embarking on a new journey with a remarkable woman who shares my passion for exploration and culinary delights. You might recognize her as the talented eyelash beautician, Geneva Dunham, whom I recently chose to go Instagram official with.
Regardless of Kwame’s mother not attending the wedding and some questionable discussions with Micah, who was also a connection from the pods, Kwame and Chelsea were among the three pairs that exchanged vows by the end of season four.
At the gathering, Chelsea disclosed that she had recently met her husband’s mother, while Kwame extended an apology to his wife and their relatives for his actions, stating that his conversations with Micah didn’t accurately portray him.
The couple is living in Seattle with their beloved dog Rocky.
It’s been suggested that love can be blind, but sometimes it takes a bit of time—or even proposing to another woman—to recognize a mistake. This was the case with Zack, who initially got engaged to Irina Solomonova, but the relationship ended during their vacation in Mexico.
After requesting another opportunity from Bliss, the duo went against the odds (as well as Bliss’ father’s preference) and exchanged their vows during the ceremony. (It’s worth noting that they didn’t choose to skip this moment, instead choosing to dance for the first time around the floor to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” a song that had connected them in the pods.)
Following the climactic ending, I took to Instagram to post an enchanting snapshot of that adored couple, accompanied by the heartfelt caption, “A Timeless Joy.
The couple shared in November 2023 that they are expecting their first baby.
It seems like no other Love Is Blind pairing has felt quite as fitting since Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed from season one!
On their special day, the eldest pair from the study, with Tiffany being 36 and Brett 37, exchanged vows despite an unexpected wardrobe mishap when Brett’s trousers failed to fit correctly. Thankfully, Lucia, the seamstress, came to the rescue!
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.
Nevertheless, once filming ended, the ex-lovers found themselves together once more, as it turned out they had resumed their relationship during the reunion special for season three.
Approximately a month after, the pair declared their separation, citing ongoing legal matters regarding infidelity accusations against SK. In a joint statement posted on social media in November, SK and Raven stated, “Due to the ongoing legal issues related to these allegations, we are unable to disclose further information and kindly request privacy during this challenging period. We appreciate your support throughout our journey and your faith in us.
Spectators looked on with concern as Jackie opted to grant another opportunity to Josh Demas, the individual she had developed a connection with within the pods, by arranging a meeting with him prior to terminating her relationship with Marshall.
During the reunion, Jackie clarified the sequence of events by stating, “Marshall and I had already parted ways before I encountered Josh at the coffee shop.” Essentially, she was trying to correct the impression that she was unfaithful since she is not, in fact, a cheater.
Jackie later acknowledged the conclusion of her relationship with Marshall, stating that she is willing to “accept responsibility” for her words and deeds. “Simply put, it wasn’t destined to work out between us.
Regarding Jackie’s relationship with Josh, they were romantically involved and cohabiting in the show After the Altar. However, Jackie disclosed during an Instagram Live 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 fellow competitor Kacia Clark. He elaborated, “We made an effort,” Marshall said, “However, I chose to keep some distance from everything associated with that experience.
In “After the Altar,” Marshall shared that he has been in a relationship with Dr. Chay Barnes for a year, and his wish is to spend an eternity with her. Their engagement took place in December 2023.
Nancy and Bartise experienced one of the stormier wedding ceremonies on “Love Is Blind”, not due to the actions of either the bride or the groom.
In the final episode of season three, it became clear that while Nancy was eager to marry, Bartise expressed doubts about their relationship. This turn of events didn’t go down well with Nancy’s family, who voiced their disapproval directly and without reservation.
Regardless of their tumultuous history, Bartise and Nancy have managed to keep up a rollercoaster-like friendship – one that’s sometimes close, then distant, and at times non-existent before returning to friendly terms again. In his conversation with TopMob, Bartise put it this way: “We’ve moved from being friends to mere acquaintances, then not speaking for a while, only to revert back to being friends.
In April 2023, Bartisse, a former contestant on “Perfect Match”, revealed the birth of his son, Hayden. However, he has not disclosed the identity of Hayden’s mother to the public.
Several months later, he debuted his new romance with Cait Vanderberry on Instagram.
Nancy is currently in a new romance, though she hasn’t unveiled the man she’s dating yet.
In the final episode of the season, people witnessed Alexa and Brennon exchanging vows in a heartfelt ceremony surrounded by their dear ones.
With heartfelt sincerity, Alexa exclaimed, “You bring laughter, stimulate my thoughts, and above all else, you bring joy to my life.
The lovers announced in January 2024 that they are expecting their first baby.
Well, we can’t say we’re surprised by this breakup.
During their romantic pursuit, there often seemed to be a misunderstanding between them, leading to several disagreements or conflicts. Despite reaching the wedding altar together, Zanab expressed her feelings by saying, “You’ve shown disrespect towards me, you’ve insulted me, you’ve criticized me, and to make matters worse, you’ve single-handedly demolished my self-esteem.
Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.
He expressed to TopMob News that despite encountering numerous obstacles, they were managing and discovering calmer seas. He also hinted that he hoped they could carry on their relationship even after the wedding, should it not 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 in their romantic journey, the couple remained optimistic about their bond, ultimately deciding to commit themselves to each other with a joyful “I do”.
Colleen explained to TopMob News why she decided to proceed with the wedding: “When I saw him crying and sniffling, it felt like a moment of truth. From that instant, I realized ‘He’s my man.’ So, I knew in that very moment that I would say yes.
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.
Are we considering a romantic relationship for the future?” he asked. ” frankly, I haven’t figured it out yet. My suggestion would be to steer clear of online dating platforms.
As we know, Deepti and Shake’s time on the show did not end with a happily ever after.
As Deepti shared with TopMob News that she is now single, I can tell you there’s been some heat between Shake and my bro, Sunny, on Instagram. Here’s the lowdown: Sunny and his partner Hina Merchant Vempati didn’t hold back when they called out Shake, saying something like, “Dude, you’re a washout,” in a joint Instagram post. They went on to accuse him of devaluing my sister’s life by making insensitive and awkward comments about her.
They continued, urging Shake to “stay the f–k away” from their sister.
Looks like Shake will be heading to his Nobu reservation alone!
Despite Natalie and Shayne not getting married on the show, Natalie assured TopMob that the romantic tales portrayed were entirely sincere.
Natalie pointed out, “It isn’t a reality show; it’s the genuine depiction of our everyday lives, authentic emotions, and true connections between us.
This is why Natalie felt deeply wounded when it seemed that Shayne had accepted a role in the spinoff show, Perfect Match, despite their efforts to repair their relationship after their broken marriage.
She disclosed on Instagram that he sent multiple messages expressing his desire to quit during the shoot as he was still emotionally attached to her following our encounter at the reunion show recording. However, she motivated him to carry on with the filming.
After wrapping up the production for “Perfect Match”, Natalie mentioned that she subsequently encountered Shayne, and in the end, decided it was best not to rekindle their relationship.
Meanwhile, for a short while, Shayne was in a relationship with Chloe Veitch, who he met on Perfect Match, following her stint on Too Hot to Handle.
I made the decision to initiate divorce proceedings against my husband Nick, at a courthouse in Chicago, on August 15, 2022 – over a year since we tied the knot during our wedding finale.
On August 17, 2022, they shared a heartfelt message on Instagram that left me reeling as an ardent fan. “After countless hours of contemplation, it breaks my heart to tell you both that our journey together has come to an end. We’re embarking on the challenging path of divorce, even though we still harbor deep affection for one another. Life has taken us down separate roads, and it’s only natural. Reaching this decision was no simple feat, but we will forever root for each other’s happiness.
As an over-the-moon fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about the romance blooming between the duo, as beautifully portrayed in the “After the Altar” spinoff, which graced our screens in September 2022. However, mere days after this heartwarming revelation, Kyle sadly announced their breakup, a development that occurred post-filming of the special.
And in April, Kyle proposed to his girlfriend Tania Leanos, whom he did not meet in a pod.
As a lifestyle advisor, I must share this heartwarming story about a beloved pair who took their relationship to the next level. This contented duo, known for their strong bond within our community, decided to cement their love by exchanging vows at the altar. Interestingly, there were initial reservations on Lauren’s side, but she bravely chose to proceed with the marriage, ultimately sealing their union in matrimony.
Back in December 2019, it turned out that Cam and Lauren shared their tropical getaway snaps from Cancun separately, without tagging each other or featuring any pictures of the other. Interestingly enough, they were both sporting identical pairs of sunglasses… which certainly raises some questions!
Furthermore, Lauren shared in a chat with Elite Daily that they remain a couple. With excitement, she exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! We’re so delighted!” She continued, “Every day, we discover even more about one another, and our affection for each other just keeps growing stronger.
Cameron shared a picture taken on their wedding day, labeling it with this heartfelt message, “The most joyful day I’ve ever experienced.
Despite some chilly feet on Barnett’s behalf on the morning of the ceremony, Barnett and Amber exchanged vows in the finale’s final wedding. And over a year later, they are still married.
On Independence Day, the couple – husband and wife – donned identical American flag cowboy hats for their individual Instagram photos.
If you believed that these two lovebirds would finally tie the knot after all their trials and tribulations (the decade-long gap, her feelings for Barnett, Jessica’s lack of physical attraction towards Mark, and so much more), well, you truly are an optimist!
After their unsuccessful wedding, it was Jessica who called off the event (of course). In February 2020, Mark confided in the New York Post that he hadn’t communicated with Jessica since then, although he did attempt to contact her once.
In my own words as a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: “I didn’t receive a response, but to me, it’s about spreading positivity and love into the universe,” I shared, emphasizing that the LIB experiment remains the most transformative experience for me. “Jessica has been instrumental in shaping who I am today; without her, there wouldn’t be a ‘Mark’ as you see him now.
Mark and Aubrey Rainey wed in September 2022. Their sons, Ace and Axton, served as ring bearers.
In August of 2022, Jessica tied the knot with Dr. Ben McGrath, who specializes in foot care. Their union resulted in the birth of their son, Dax, in June 2023.
In a surprising turn of events, Damian made one of “Love is Blind”‘s most jaw-dropping scenes when he caught Giannina off guard by expressing his doubts about getting married during their wedding ceremony.
However, the duo provided yet another unexpected turn when they disclosed their reconciliation during the season one reunion. Unfortunately, this union did not last, as Giannina announced to TopMob News in August 2021 that she had become single once more.
Subsequently, she discovered love on yet another reality TV series. Her relationship blossomed with Blake Horstmann from Bachelor Nation following their encounter during the filming of All Star Shore in 2022. In November 2023, she disclosed that they are expecting a child together.
In another development, there were whispers of a romantic relationship between Damian and Francesca Farago, a former contestant from ‘Too Hot to Handle’. This pairing became apparent in the spinoff series ‘Perfect Match’, following Francesca’s dramatic entrance during ‘Love Is Blind: After the Altar’.
Alas, Damian and Francesca left Perfect Match single.
It came as a shock to viewers when Kelly openly admitted that she didn’t have a genuine physical attraction towards Kenny and decided against marrying him, which left her family equally stunned.
After their wedding, Kenny relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, whereas Kelly continues to reside in Atlanta, where she works as a health and empowerment coach. A recent Instagram post of hers discussed the joys of being single in your 30s: “I’ve learned to establish boundaries. Now that I cherish myself so deeply, I won’t settle for a relationship out of loneliness.
Back in August 2020, Kenny made an announcement that he was set to marry his partner, Alexandra Garrison. Exactly two years after, they tied the knot.
Among the six pairs who got engaged during the pods (only those chosen by the producers for continued filming), Diamond and Carlton didn’t manage to make it past their trip to Mexico. Their relationship ended in a heated argument, with Carlton disclosing his bisexuality to Diamond as the catalyst.
Over time, the ex-couple might become friends again, as Carlton expressed to the media, “Whatever transpires in the future, it would be wonderful. However, I believe it requires patience. I think we both need time to understand our feelings better. We still hold contrasting opinions about how things unfolded and what mistakes were made.
Diamond stated, “There’s much growth left for us both, and I am open to that journey. Growth excites me, but I believe we could reach a point where we can discuss this sensitive matter calmly now. This subject is still emotionally charged for us, even though it’s been over a year since it occurred, it feels as if it was just yesterday.
In June 2020, a fan posted on Reddit asking about Mark’s current romantic situation, following the end of his engagement with Jessica.
It seems like your buddy’s workmate is in a relationship with Mark, as suggested by this photo you shared, which appears to depict them together on a date.
In a more conversational style: When LC, another lady Mark had developed a connection with inside the pods, verified they were seeing each other by saying, “This conversation is a bit awkward as I reside in Atlanta and have been dating Mark since early May…By the way, this is LC from ‘Love is Blind’…
The couple would later confirm they were not together.
