Love Is Blind couples: Who is still together?
The Love Is Blind successful couples are an exclusive bunch. Netflix’s kooky, addictive reality show is many things — a social experiment, a dating show, a highly engineered drama factory — but it does actually lead to lasting relationships for some. It's one of our favourites, alongside Married at First Sight, Love Island and Temptation Island.
Whether you believe that love is blind or not, there’s no doubt that this twist on The Dating Game is hard to stop watching. We love shows like Love Is Blind for a reason.
For the unfamiliar, single men and women talk to each other from isolation pods without seeing each other until they agree to get engaged, at which point they can actually start dating and meet each other’s families. But anyone who knows the stress of wedding planning can guess what happens from there: fighting, tears, and breakups. So much goes on that sometimes whole other proposals happen we don’t even see onscreen.
Despite the many love triangles and surprises, and the downright bizarre nature of the show, some people do form genuine connections, and the Love Is Blind successful couples may just stand the test of time.
Lauren Speed, a former contestant (player? participant?), had this piece of advice for Love Is Blind couples: “When it was time for me to decide if I wanted to get married on #loveisBlind I struggled. I wanted to really make sure I got married because I could see forever with Cam. Not from production pressures or wanting fame. I wasn’t about to get legally married just for television. Because once those cameras leave and it’s just you and that person living and creating a life together…fame can’t save you. And who wants to be trapped in an empty marriage that’s hell! I really think this worked for us because it was genuinely 2 people not only finding love…But really falling IN LOVE with each other in the most unexpected way! Wishing the best for everyone in #loveisblind2 whether you decided to marry or stay single I hope that it brings you all closer to the happiness you all deserve! Without settling in any way.” Her marriage seems to be going just fine, so maybe it works!
If you think you might find your One True Love in Netflix’s pods, be sure you know the stats before you call up Love Is Blind casting. Because while most of the pairings don’t make it to their honeymoon, you can never say never.
Here’s where the Love Is Blind successful couples (so, anyone who got engaged onscreen) are now. Consider this your Love Is Blind After the Altar…after that.
NetflixLauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton
Season: One
Their story: Lauren and Cameron are proof that, while the success rate on dating shows is low at best, true love is possible. Lauren and Cameron connected instantly in the pods, and then got engaged and married on the show. The couple became fan favourites as well as proof that Netflix’s great experiment can work.
Their fate: They’re still together! They have a YouTube Channel called Hanging With the Hamiltons, and they wrote a book together titled Leap of Faith: Finding Love the Modern Way, which came out in 2021.
In October 2025, Lauren and Cameron welcomed their first child together after a years-long fertility journey. At the Season 10 reunion, Cameron opened up about how having a baby has deepened his love for Lauren. “She gave me the thing that I wanted the most in this world, which is my son. I look at him every day, and he looks like a little mini me, but he has her eyes, and it’s just another level of love.”
NetflixAmber Pike and Matt Barnett
Season: One
Their story: Amber and Matt are another example of Netflix’s great, weird experiment working. The couple connected hard and fast while in the pods, and their transition to real life after was mostly seamless. Their only obstacle was something of a love triangle with Jessica, who didn’t give up on chasing Matt even after he got engaged to Amber.
Their fate: Still together! Despite their differences, the couple remain happily married. At the Love Is Blind season one reunion, the couple shared that they considered getting a divorce at one point because they struggled adjusting to their life and relationship off-camera; however, they’ve clearly made it work.
In April 2025, they announced the arrival of their “perfect” baby girl via Instagram. Apparently, Matt and Cameron do dad dates together – we're screaming.
NetflixDiamond Jack and Carlton Morton
Season: One
Their story: Drama! After getting engaged on the show, Carlton told Diamond that he was bisexual. She expressed her discomfort, and he retaliated with derogatory comments about her. It all led to an explosive fight during their trip to Mexico.
Their fate: He apologised, and they apparently keep in touch. But no chance they’re getting back together.
NetflixGiannina Gibelli and Damian Powers
Season: One
Their story: This polarizing couple connected in the pods and got engaged. Following several blow-up fights ahead of their wedding day, Damian said no at the altar. “I stayed consistent all the way through this and you have not,” he said.
Their fate: The couple had an on-again, off-again thing after filming the show, but they are very much not together now. The chaotic couple officially called things off in 2021.
Giannina is engaged to Blake Horstmann from The Bachelor, whom she met while filming a competition series for Paramount+. They welcomed their first child in April 2024.
Meanwhile, Damian participated in season 1 of Perfect Match but left single.
NetflixJessica Batten and Mark Cuevas
Season: One
Their story: Jessica got engaged to Mark even though her true feelings were for Matt, who was engaged to Amber. Jessica seemed hesitant about Mark every step of the way on the show; however, she remained committed to the experiment and went all the way to the wedding ceremony. There, the couple ultimately said “I don’t.”
Their fate: It seemed Jessica might have dodged a bullet after allegations of Mark being a cheater surfaced following the show’s premiere. Regardless, both have since moved on.
Mark was married and had two children with Aubrey Rainey, but the pair declared they had decided to “part ways” in March 2025.
Jessica got married in August 2022 and gave birth to her first child in June 2023. Along with her partner's two children from a previous relationship, they have a happy blended family.
NetflixKelly Chase and Kenny Barnes
Season: One
Their story: Because of the show’s rules, the pair had to say they were getting married just to keep dating. However, they had an understanding that they weren’t actually going to get married but would keep exploring their feelings after the show. “I thought that we were going to continue dating, because that was communicated between us,” Kelly told People. “And then it was our last filming day, and he had a conversation with me like, ‘Hey, I think I am not emotionally available right now. I need to take some time apart from you.’ I felt very rejected, like, ‘That wasn’t the plan. What the heck?’” She says she wrote him a letter, but he never responded.
Their fate: Not together. Kelly now has a podcast, ChaseLife With Kelly, on which she’s open about self-love and chasing a happy, healthy life.
Kenny got married in April 2022, and they welcomed their first child in June 2025.
NetflixJarrette Jones and Iyanna McNeely
Season: Two
Their story: Iyanna was Jarrette’s second choice after Mallory turned down his proposal, so these two naturally had some things to work on in their relationship…but they did keep moving forward with every episode. Consider them proof that first impressions aren’t always the most accurate, and it may be worth taking a second look at someone you’re only lukewarm about. You never know what might develop. Iyanna and Jarrette both said “I do” in the finale.
Their fate: They were together — until they weren’t. On September 23, Iyanna officially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, after she and Jones announced in August 2022 that they were splitting up: "While we have love for each other, our lives are going in different directions, and that’s okay. Coming to this decision was far from easy and we will always wish each other the absolute best.”
“I’ll continue to wish Iyanna nothing but happiness and success with every future endeavor.” Jones told People. “I’m thankful for the continued support from everyone and hope for understanding during this difficult time.”
Iyanna has since claimed Jarrette was unfaithful during the relationship. In early 2026, she married Alexander Lewis.
NetflixAbhishek “Shake” Chatterjee and Deepti Vempati
Season: Two
Their story: Shake claimed that he loved Deepti…but wasn’t attracted to her. They didn’t have third-wheel drama like other couples, but Shake never made Deepti feel special. So it was a satisfying ending to their relationship when Deepti decided to choose herself and said no at the altar.
Their fate: Yeah, not together. We’re gonna go ahead and file “Deepti and Shake” under How to Spot a Red Flag 101. At the reunion Shake only doubled down on his troubling superficial views about relationships, and it seems unlikely they’ll stay friends.
NetflixDanielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson
Season: Two
Their story: These two had an instant connection, but lingering issues from Danielle’s past proved a challenge. Still, Nick stood by her the whole time. The two got married in the finale.
Their fate: Nick and Danielle are not together. At the season-two reunion, they revealed that their relationship became a lot easier once the pressure of being on the show was gone. However, on August 21, TMZ reported that Danielle had filed for divorce from Nick. The pair both spoke positively of one another but said that it came down to “personality compatibility differences.”
NetflixShayne Jansen and Natalie Lee
Season: Two
Their story: Shayne, Shaina, and Natalie got caught up in a love triangle while in the pods, but it was Shayne and Natalie who got engaged. All seemed well until Shayne and Natalie had a big fight the night before the wedding ceremony. Entertainment Tonight reports that Shayne got “really, really angry” with Natalie, telling her that he “hated” her and that she was “the worst thing” to happen to him. Whatever happened that night, it convinced Natalie to say no at the altar.
Their fate: At the reunion Natalie revealed that she and Shayne dated for a while after the show ended; however, she says she was ultimately unable to move past their big fight. In July 2022 she was linked to Bachelorette alum Blake Moynes after the two were seen vacationing together. Shayne joined Netflix's Perfect Match and connected with The Circle and Too Hot to Handle star Chloe Veitch, but that relationship was short lived.
In October 2024, Shayne started dating Julie Theis, winner of The Trust: A Game of Greed, but they broke up after less than a year.
NetflixSalvador Perez and Mallory Zapata
Season: Two
Their story: Mallory and Sal proved that maybe love isn’t so blind after all. After connecting in the pods, Mallory wasn’t sure she was attracted to Sal once they met face-to-face. As they spent more time together, things seemed to be going pretty smoothly. Ultimately, he called off the wedding.
Their fate: Not together. Their conversation after the wedding seemed to leave the door open for a future relationship, but Mallory revealed at the reunion that they only met for one coffee before deciding the connection was no longer there.
Mallory got engaged in March 2025 and recently found her wedding dress — eek! Salvador appears to be single and cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
NetflixKyle Abrams and Shaina Hurley
Season: Two
Their story: Shaina and Kyle seemed into each other but had little in common. Most notably, Kyle is an atheist and Shaina is a devout Christian. Kyle seemed willing to work it out, but Shaina pulled the plug in the sixth episode. They didn’t even make it to the wedding ceremonies.
Their fate: Seems like there’s not a ton of bad blood, but we don’t expect these two to become besties any time soon.
PATRICK WYMORE/NETFLIXMatt Bolton and Colleen Reed
Season: Three
Their story: Like most couples on the show, Colleen and Matt had their ups and downs after leaving the pods. She wasn’t sure if she was ready for marriage, and he had unresolved trust issues that came out in a big way once Cole expressed his attraction for Colleen. However, they both said “I do” at the wedding ceremony.
Their fate: The pair stayed married… for a while. So they lived separately for several years and ultimately revealed at the season 6 reunion that they'd finally moved in together.
In May 2025, the couple announced their split after four years together. “After nearly four years together, we’ve decided to end our marriage and move forward on our own paths,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post. “We met in the most unique and unexpected way, and we’ll always be grateful for the love and memories we shared.”
PATRICK WYMORE/NETFLIXNancy Rodriguez and Bartise Bowden
Season: Three
Their story: It seems love was not blind for Bartise, who was not secretive about his lack of attraction for Nancy. Despite this—not to mention their differing views on abortion—she was ready to say “I do” at the wedding ceremony. He was not.
Their fate: Not only are they not together, but Bartise was accused of moving in with another woman just days after the wedding ceremony. In April 2023, he announced the birth of his first child. Prior to this, he participated in season 1 of Perfect Match.
Nancy has kept busy, done the work in therapy, and turned up to the season 7 reunion with her new man.
PATRICK WYMORE/NETFLIXZanab Jaffrey and Cole Barnett
Season: Three
Their story: Zanab and Cole connected over their faith in the pods, but life after engagement wasn’t great. It all went downhill after Cole said he was more attracted to Colleen than to Zanab. At the alter, she said there was no way she could marry him because he had “shattered” her self-confidence.
Their fate: Not together. During the reunion episode, Cole apologised for his behaviour. But according to Zanab, things were worse than what we saw on screen. She not only accused him of monitoring her eating habits but also kissing another woman during his bachelor party. (He denied this.)
Zanab hard launched hew new man in January 2026. Cole took a year off dating and is now back on the dating apps.
COURTESY OF NETFLIXSikiru “SK” Alagbada and Raven Ross
Season: Three
Their story: SK and Raven were more of a slow burn compared to the other couples, but it was still a surprise when he said no at the altar. According to SK, it wasn’t because he didn’t love Raven. The timing was just off because he was about to move for graduate school.
Their fate: While they didn’t say “I do,” the couple stayed together and worked on their relationship long-distance. They even got engaged again. But after allegations surfaced that SK had been unfaithful, the couple broke up.
Raven later got into some beef on TikTok for what people viewed as “elitist” comments about pilates.
COURTESY OF NETFLIXAlexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux
Season: Three
Their story: It wasn’t really a question of whether or not Alexa and Brennon would make it to the altar. The two were in love as soon as they met and the chemistry never faltered.
Their fate: Buckle up, folks. The pair were fully loved up at the reunion, and in January 2024, they announced they were expecting their first child together. At the season 6 reunion, they discussed their difficult path to pregnancy and fertility issues. They welcomed their daughter in July 2024.
The two were married for over four years before announcing their split in December 2025. This was a Love is Blind breakup we did not see coming.
NetflixChelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah
Season: Four
Their story: Kwame and Chelsea built a strong connection — especially after he was dumped by Micah — in the pods. However, he struggled with moving from Portland to Seattle to be closer to Chelsea.
Their fate: Married! Despite their hurdles, they both said “I do” at the altar in the finale that aired on Friday, April 14.
In April 2026, fans speculated they had broken up when Chelsea was spotted without her wedding ring. But Chelsea posted a cute selfie of the pair to reassure everyone they were doing well.
But then in May, Chelsea and Kwame announced their divorce.
The pair announced their split in a joint post, with Chelsea saying that as ” time went on, it became clear that we were growing in different directions.”
She wrote: “Last week would have marked our fourth wedding anniversary. Out of respect for the life we shared, I wanted to address this moment directly with the community that has supported us over the years.
“It’s heartbreaking to share that our marriage is coming to an end. This is not the outcome I hoped for, and I entered this relationship with deep love, commitment, and the intention of building a lasting life together.
“As time went on, it became clear that we were growing in different directions. I poured my whole heart into this marriage and wanted it to work until the very end, but lasting marriages require more than love alone.”

NetflixTiffany Pennywell and Brett Brown
Season: Four
Their story: Has any Love Is Blind couple had less hurdles than Tiffany and Brett? These two seemed made for each other from the start.
Their fate: So it was not a surprise when they got married in the finale episode. We're happy for them! From what we know, they're still going strong.
NetflixMicah Lussier and Paul Peden
Season: Four
Their story: Micah and Paul both dumped their other connections in the pods to be together, but building their relationship in the real world proved to be more of a struggle.
Their fate: Not together. In the finale, Paul told Micah that he didn't think they were ready to get married.
Paul debuted a new relationship with Geneva Dunham in May 2023, but they have since broken up.
Micah appeared on season 2 of Perfect Match, but her relationship with Dated & Related's Kaz Bishop didn't last past filming. Since then, she has also been linked to Seb Melrose, with his ex Kayla Richart claiming that the pair hooked up while they were still together.

NetflixJackelina Bonds and Marshall Glaze
Season: Four
Their story: Jackelina and Marshall were the definition of “opposites attract,” something that worked for them at first but ultimately led to communication issues and fights.
Their fate: Not together. After Jackie declined to show up for her wedding dress fitting, the two broke things off. She started dating Josh, another connection she had in the pods, before the season was over. Jackie and Josh moved in together but ultimately broke up.
Marshall went on one date with another pod member, Kacie, but it didn't evolve past that. Later, he got engaged to Chay Barnes, but confirmed at the season 7 reunion that the relationship had ended.
COURTESY OF NETFLIXIrina Solomonova and Zack Goytowski
Season: Four
Their story: Even though Zack had a strong connection with Bliss in the pods, he decided to propose to Irina because he felt he'd be more accepted by her family. Unfortunately, their first meeting IRL did not go well, and things only went down from there.
Their fate: Not together. Irina and Zack broke up before they even left their vacation in Mexico. Once he was back in Seattle, Zack contacted Bliss and told her he made “the wrong choice.”
Irina appeared on season 1 of Battle Camp but hasn't done any other dating shows.
MONTY BRINTON/NETFLIXBliss Poureetezadi and Zack Goytowski
Season: Four
Their story: After Zack admitted his mistake to Bliss, she agreed to give him a second chance. The two got engaged soon after and faced relatively few challenges on their way to the altar.
Their fate: Married! In the finale, Bliss and Zack said, “I do.” They took a much-delayed European honeymoon in May 2023. Then in April 2024, they welcomed a daughter together. The season 10 reunion doubled as a gender reveal party when the couple found out their second child would be a boy.
© 2023 Netflix, Inc.Lydia Gonzalez and James “Milton” Johnson IV
Season: Five
Their story: It was a rocky journey to the aisle for Lydia and James. Although the two initially bonded over their love of rocks — no, seriously — Lydia seemed more invested in her connection with Izzy Zapata…until Izzy admitted he was no longer interested in her. Then, it was revealed that Lydia and a fellow season five contestant had previously dated before filming. Nevertheless, Milton proposed, and the couple made it to the altar. In an interview with Glamour US, Love Is Blind creator Chris Coelen called their relationship one of his “favourite love stories of all time.”
Their fate: Married… for a bit. Milton had to move for work after the season aired but they've been making their long-distance marriage work. “Lydia and Milton had, almost more than anyone has ever been on the show, adversity and obstacles thrown at them,” Coelen told Glamour. “They overcame those obstacles at every single turn and love triumphs in the end.”
Then, in June 2025, Lydia announced that she was divorcing Milton, specifying that it was her decision. Rumours circulated about infidelity, but nothing was confirmed.
© 2023 Netflix, Inc.Taylor Rue and Jared “JP” Pierce
Season: Five
Their story: Taylor and JP formed an instant connection and were the first couple of the season to get engaged. But once they left the pods, the chemistry wasn't there and they broke up.
Their fate: Not together! In fact they were one of the quickest breakups in Love Is Blind history. “Truthfully, I thought they were absolutely going to get married,” Coelen said. “That's what I thought when they got engaged. I was like, 'Yeah, there's never been more of a lock for a couple to get married than JP and Taylor.' That's how I felt, and I was dead wrong.”
Shortly after filming the experiment, JP began dating someone new. Taylor not only has a new partner but also welcomed a child with him in 2025.
© 2023 Netflix, Inc.Izzy Zapata and Stacy Snyder
Season: Five
Their story: Izzy formed connections with multiple women in the pods, including Lydia Gonzalez and Johnie Maraist, before eventually deciding to focus solely on Stacy. They got engaged, but had their ups and downs after the pods, largely because Stacy had concerns over Izzy's finances and his behavior toward ex Johnie.
Their fate: Not together. Izzy tried dating Johnie after the show ended, but that was short-lived, too. Izzy took part in season 2 of Perfect Match, where he shot his shot with another Love is Blind blonde, Micah. Izzy is not publicly dating anyone.
Stacy came out as bisexual and was in a relationship for a year, which ended by summer 2025.
© 2024 Netflix, Inc.Clay Gravesend and Amber Desiree “AD” Smith
Season: Six
Their story: AD and Clay had chemistry from the start but cooled after he asked her about her physical appearance. AD also started exploring her connection with contestant Matthew Duliba…that is, until she learned Matthew was telling another woman in the pods the exact same things as her. So AD recommitted to Clay, and the two were able to open up to each other enough to get engaged by the end.
Their fate: Not together. All seemed well (for the most part) up until the finale, but Clay said “I don't” at the altar because he felt he wasn't ready for marriage. During the season six reunion, Clay admitted he'd made a mistake, saying, “She's honestly the love of my life.” AD revealed that she'd tried dating Matthew after the show ended, but they lived different lives.
AD participated in Perfect Match season 3 and quickly got together with Ollie Sutherland of Love is Blind: UK. The pair announced they were pregnant, and then later got engaged. They got married in October 2025 and later welcomed their first child together.
© 2024 Netflix, Inc.Brittany Mills and Kenneth Gorham
Season: Six
Their story: Brittany and Kenneth connected over their faith in the pods and the fact that they wanted to wait until marriage to have sex, but struggled outside of the pods. It seemed like maybe Kenneth was more interested in his phone than Brittany.
Their fate: Not together. By episode eight, the couple agreed they didn't want to force something that wasn't there and broke up.
© 2024 Netflix, Inc.Amy Cortés and Johnny McIntyre
Season: Six
Their story: Amy and Johnny were the clear winners of Love Is Blind season six. They bonded over their mutual love of anime and it was smooth sailing from then on. (Aside from fact that Johnny needed a serious education on birth control.)
Their fate: Together! To the surprise of nobody, they said “I do” in the finale. By the time of the reunion, almost a year later, they were still happily married.
© 2024 Netflix, Inc.Chelsea Blackwell and Jimmy Presnell
Season: Six
Their story: Jimmy had connections with Chelsea…and Jessica Vestal. Chelsea had connections with Jimmy…and Trevor Sova. But ultimately, Jimmy and Chelsea decided to focus solely on each other and get engaged. They had their ups and downs, however, including an argument over Jimmy's friendship with an ex that led to him calling Chelsea “clingy.” In the finale, Jimmy tells Chelsea he doesn't want to go to the altar.
Their fate: We're not sure? Chelsea claimed in interviews that the former couple tried dating after the show ended, but it didn't work out. But then the two were seen kissing in early March, almost a year after the show ended. But now they've confirmed they're just friends.
Jimmy took part in Perfect Match season four.
© 2024 Netflix, Inc.Laura Dadisman and Jeramey Lutinski
Season: Six
Their story: Another Love Is Blind love triangle: Jeramey was interested in both Laura and fellow contestant Sarah Ann, before deciding to move forward with the former. Jeramey and Laura got engaged, but life in the real world found them arguing over bean dip (not the food) and, more seriously, the fact that he stayed out until 5 a.m. with Sarah Ann. They broke up before the finale.
Their fate: Definitely not together. Jeramey and Sarah Ann revealed at the season six reunion that they'd been dating for almost a year and had even moved in together. They later split.
© 2026 Netflix, Inc.Brittany Wisniewski and Leo Braudy
Season: Seven
Their story: Leo entered the pods worried that women might only want him for his financial security as an art dealer, while Brittany was worried that people only went for hr good looks. They seemed a good pairing at first and got engaged in the pods. The reveal seemed a little uncertain, and then the two decided not to join the other couples in Mexico and instead took their own trip to Miami.
Their fate: Not together. Brittany and Leo decided they were better off as good friends. They have kept up that friendship and often post together on social media.
Alex Brown and Tim Godbee
Season: Seven
Their story: Alex and Tim were both looking for something lasting, and believed they had found it in each other. Before getting engaged, Tim gave Alex one of the most touching gifts in Love Is Blind history: his late sister’s bracelet.
Once in Mexico, however, the couple struggled to stay aligned, and tensions only escalated when they returned home.
Their fate: At first, Tim Godbee and Alexandra 'Alex' Byrd seemed to move past their disagreements and continued with the experiment. He met Alex’s family and even asked for her father’s blessing.
However, things shifted after Alex met his family. Following the visit, Tim decided to end the engagement, expressing disappointment that she took a nap after his family had travelled a long way to see them. The pair did not reconcile.
© 2023 Netflix, Inc.Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis
Season: Seven
Their story: Honestly, these two seemed strong for most of the experiment. They got on well, had a deep connection, and had relatively few arguments — until the biggest turning point of the season.
In episode 9 of Love Is Blind, Tyler Francis revealed that he had fathered three children as a “sperm donor” to help a friend and his wife become parents. Ashley Adionser initially struggled with the fact he hadn’t shared this earlier in the process, but ultimately chose to forgive him.
Meanwhile, social media quickly erupted with speculation and conflicting claims about the nature of Tyler’s role, with many suggesting he was more involved as a father than initially presented.
Their fate: They both said “I do” at the altar, much to our surprise. However, in January 2025, Ashley Adionser confirmed that they had separated weeks earlier.
Tyler Francis later took responsibility for the split, saying: “I take full accountability for my role in the difficulties we faced, and I respect Ashley’s decision to move forward in a way that prioritises her peace and happiness.”
© 2024 Netflix, Inc.Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans
Season: Seven
Their story: These two felt like a Taylor Swift song in the making. The pair gravitated toward each other quickly in the pods and built an instant connection. After moving in together, however, reality set in: Taylor expressed a desire to relocate to San Diego, while Garrett Josemans worried about being far from his family.
Both of their families were supportive of the relationship, but also voiced concerns that the couple might be moving too fast.
Their fate: They did, of course, get married. At the reunion, they appeared as loved up as ever, with Garrett Josemans clearly experiencing the “wife glow-up” and Taylor Krause refusing to take any credit for it.
To mark their one-year anniversary in November 2024, Garrett shared a sweet tribute to his wife on Instagram: “Here’s to a match made in heaven, sealed in the pods, and celebrated every day. Taylor truly is the best catch of them all,” he wrote, in part.
© 2024 Netflix, Inc.Marissa George and Ramses Prashad
Season: Seven
Their story: Marissa was initially caught in a love triangle with Ramses and Bohdan Olinares in the pods before deciding Ramses was the one for her. Their emotional connection soon became physical in Mexico, as the couple deepened their relationship.
However, once they returned home, difficult conversations began to drive a wedge between them. Key issues included Marissa’s military service and differing views on birth control, which increasingly strained their connection and ultimately contributed to their breakup.
Their fate: They didn’t make it to the altar. Episode 11 opened with their breakup, as Ramses explained he wasn’t ready to get married again. After an emotional back-and-forth about his doubts, he ultimately decided he couldn’t marry Marissa, leaving her devastated and in tears.
At the reunion, they revealed they had briefly tried to rekindle things afterwards, but it didn’t work out. Marissa later went on to appear in season 4 of Perfect Match.
© 2024 Netflix, Inc.Hannah Jiles and Nick Dorka
Season: Seven
Their story: In the pods, Hannah found herself in a love triangle with Nick Dorka and Leo Braudy. She initially told Nick she had a “stronger” connection with someone else, before ultimately changing her mind. Nick proposed, and the pair left the pods professing their love.
However, sparks were less immediate in person. In Mexico, Hannah admitted to getting the “ick” when Nick rode a fake duck on the beach. Things escalated further when Nick later discovered a pros-and-cons list Hannah had written about him and left on her bedside table — an awkward turning point in their relationship.
Their fate: Hours before the dress fitting, the couple had a heated conversation in which they both acknowledged their relationship was not going to work long-term. They ultimately ended things there, and both are now single.
© 2025 Netflix, Inc.Sara Carton and Ben Mezzenga
Season: Eight
Their story: Their time in the pods stood out for how quickly they tackled difficult conversations. Sara Carton told Ben Mezzenga that she wasn’t religious and shared that her sister is part of the LGBTQ+ community, explaining that standing up for LGBTQ rights and other causes, including the Black Lives Matter movement, was important to her.
Ben said that while he tended to “keep out” of political and societal issues, he still believed their core values aligned. The pair ultimately got engaged and headed to Mexico.
Their fate: At the altar, Sara Carton announced that she could not marry Ben Mezzenga, saying she wanted a partner “on the same wavelength” as her.
At the reunion, she revealed that the pair had initially planned to try again, including an arrangement for Ben to temporarily move in when she relocated for work. However, he ultimately never joined her and later stopped communicating, effectively ending things for good.
Sara has since confirmed she is dating fellow season 8 cast member Joey Leveille, with the relationship made public in July 2025.
© 2025 Netflix, Inc.Monica Danus and Joey Leveille
Season: Eight
Their story: Monica Danús and Joey Leveille started off light-hearted and joyful in the pods. During his proposal, Joey even fumbled the wording, asking, “Would you get engaged with me?” Monica said yes, and the pair met in person shortly after.
Their first interaction and kiss in person were a little awkward, but their connection still seemed solid. As the experiment continued, they also worked through scepticism from Monica’s older sister, and for a while, it looked like they were on track to say “I do” at the altar.
Their fate: Well, first off, Joey Leveille skateboarded down the aisle. Monica Danús then began sharing doubts with friends and family that she hadn’t previously voiced on camera.
In his vows, Joey reflected on their journey but didn’t explicitly express love. When it was Monica’s turn to decide, she said she wasn’t ready to marry him. They left on good terms.
At the reunion, Monica revealed that her perspective had shifted after watching the show, saying it became clear to her that Joey wasn’t as into her as she had hoped. Joey has since started dating Sara Carton.
© 2025 Netflix, Inc.Lauren O’Brien and David Bettenburg
Season: Eight
Their story: Another love triangle unfolded in the pods, with Dave Bettenburg pursuing both Lauren O’Brien and Molly Mullaney before ultimately deciding to propose to Lauren.
Their couples’ trip initially went well, but tensions surfaced once they returned to Minneapolis, when Dave learned that Lauren had been seeing someone shortly before entering Love Is Blind. Lauren explained it was a casual situation and said her ex had been using her for attention, but the issue became a repeated point of conflict between them.
After several arguments over trust and timing, the couple ultimately broke up.
Their fate: They did not reconcile. At the reunion, Dave Bettenburg acknowledged that he shouldn’t have been so influenced by outside voices, adding that Lauren was “the one that got away.”

Season: Eight
Their story: Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley quickly bonded over shared connections, including discovering they had attended the same Minnesota high school a few years apart. They also found common ground in several conservative values, and their relationship moved forward into an engagement.
However, tensions began to surface after the engagement, particularly around finances and politics. Virginia raised the idea of a prenuptial agreement, and the couple also realised they held differing views on key political issues, which added strain to their relationship.
Their fate: They didn’t get married. Devin arrived at the altar excited and eager, but Virginia ultimately told him that while she loved him, she couldn’t go through with the marriage.
Speaking to the cameras, she explained that they hadn’t reached the necessary “depth” in their relationship and that she struggled with Devin’s reluctance to engage in more serious conversations. The pair did not reconcile.

Season: Eight
Their story: The two “Christmas lovers” hit it off instantly, bonding over their shared love of the holiday as well as their family-oriented values. Their connection seemed strong from the start.
However, after the reveal, there was a brief hiccup when Taylor began to worry that Daniel might have known her before the experiment, meaning it may not have been fully “blind.” It later turned out that wasn’t the case.
Their fate: They’re still together. As Taylor glided down the aisle, Daniel immediately said “wow” and became visibly emotional when he saw her. He began reading from his vows before changing his mind and choosing to speak directly from the heart instead.
During her vows, Taylor described Daniel as “quite literally an answer to my prayers.” The pair went on to say “I do,” becoming the only couple to get married in season 8.

Season: Nine
Their story: Rather than starting light and breezy, the pair went straight into deep conversations about their past in the pods. They got engaged, and Edmond was overjoyed when they met in person.
Things continued to go well at first, but tension emerged in episode 6 during a heated argument about their lack of physical connection compared to other couples.
Their fate: They broke up. In the lead-up to their wedding day, Kalybriah Haskin and Edmond Harvey had multiple arguments and struggled to communicate, with Kalybriah repeatedly voicing frustration over his hot-and-cold behaviour.
At the altar, Edmond said “I do,” but Kalybriah did not. The pair did not reconcile after the ceremony.

Season: Nine
Their story: Patrick Suzuki was torn between Anna Yuan and Kacie McIntosh in the pods, until Anna abruptly left the experiment.
He ultimately moved forward with Kacie, though he expressed some concern that race might play a role in their relationship, drawing on past experiences. Kacie reassured him that, although she had never dated an Asian man before, she believed her family would be accepting.
The pair also shared some unexpectedly awkward moments of intimacy-focused humour before getting engaged and meeting in person.
Their fate: They broke up. In a private conversation with producers, Kacie revealed she wasn’t attracted to Patrick and wanted to leave the experiment. When she spoke to him directly, however, she only said the process had become too overwhelming as the reason for her exit.
She also suggested they could continue dating outside the show, but Patrick later disputed that this ever happened.
At the season 10 reunion, Patrick arrived with a new girlfriend.

Season: Nine
Their story: The couple best known for the “chicken smoothie.” Megan was one of Love Is Blind’s rare love squares, caught between Jordan, Blake and Mike. Blake suddenly left the show, and Megan ultimately chose Jordan — a single father — over her usual type in Mike.
She was also drawn to Mike’s son Luca, who has Type 1 diabetes, something that deeply resonated with her after her late father had the same condition. The couple seemed to do well despite a few hurdles and differences in lifestyle along the way.
Their fate: No wedding for these two. Megan broke up with Jordan ahead of the wedding, saying they felt “like two different people” and that their relationship didn’t “feel right.”
Speaking to the cameras, Jordan said his only regret was introducing Megan to his son.
At the season 9 reunion, Megan confirmed she had since welcomed a son, Brooks, with her new partner, Paul.

Season: Nine
Their story: Annie and Nick both explored other connections in the pods, with Annie initially ending things with Brenden and Nick stepping away from Kait so they could focus fully on each other.
Once they committed, they found reassurance in their shared values and decided to move forward together. However, after leaving the pods, the relationship became more volatile, with the couple arguing intensely over several issues. Although they often made up, the underlying problems remained unresolved.
Their fate: Nick broke up with Annie in episode 10 of Love Is Blind, explaining that he couldn’t see himself marrying her. Annie tried to fight for the relationship, but Nick had already made up his mind.

Season: Nine
Their story: Within the first episode of Love Is Blind, Ali and Anton said “I love you” and got engaged. They appeared overjoyed when they met in person and seemed to have a strong start to the experiment, including an enjoyable honeymoon in Baja.
Their fate: Not together. Once they returned home, issues quickly emerged. Ali and Anton both worked nights and struggled to find meaningful time together, while Ali also grew uneasy about Anton’s drinking and parts of his relationship history.
On their wedding day, Anton said “I do,” but Ali ultimately wasn’t ready to take that next step. “I can’t be your wife. I feel like the person that I fell in love with in the pods isn’t the person I’ve gotten to experience in real life,” she said before walking away.
Anton is now in a new relationship as of March 2026.

Season: Nine
Their story: Madison entered Love Is Blind with a compelling personal reason, sharing that she has a rare eye condition that could eventually lead to blindness. In the pods, she and Joe exchanged “I love you” and got engaged.
Their first meeting in person was slightly awkward, with Joe appearing uneasy in his post-reveal interview and noting that he is typically attracted to women with a different body type. At a pool party in Baja, Joe became heavily intoxicated, which left Madison upset and strained the early stages of their relationship.
Their fate: They broke up. Madison and Joe lasted once they returned home and even met each other’s families. However, during a tuxedo fitting, Joe became overwhelmed and left, marking a clear shift in their relationship.
In episode 11, he ended things with Madison, saying he had reached a “breaking point.” Tearfully, she asked for an explanation, and while she was emotional, she ultimately told him she was grateful she had gone through the experiment with him.
Madison later revealed on a podcast that they had a brief, confusing post-show encounter where they kissed, but did not reunite. Joe also briefly dated Kacie McIntosh and had a new girlfriend by the time of the reunion.

Season: Ten
Their story: Honestly, these two might just convince us love is blind. Vic and Christine were strong from the start, with an immediate, palpable connection that made it easy for them to open up about difficult childhood experiences. Vic described it as a “match made in heaven,” and the pair got engaged by the end of Episode 1.
Due to production constraints, they were also sent on a separate post-engagement trip to Malibu while the rest of the couples headed to Mexico.
Their fate: They’re still together. Vic and Christine got married and appeared happier than ever at the reunion, where they gushed about married life and shared how much they enjoy coming home to each other after long days.
Since they didn’t get to take an international trip during the experiment, they were also gifted a make-up vacation.

Season: Ten
Their story: In the pods, Chris was torn between Bri and Jess. Bri opened up about her past marriage and shared that, as an infectious disease physician, she was looking for a partner who could support her through demanding days.
Chris said he could be that person and ultimately proposed. The couple had a strong initial connection when they met in person, and things continued to go well in the immediate aftermath.
Their fate: They broke up. In episode 8, Chris said he felt they lacked a physical connection. He also told Jess that his usual type was “somebody who does f*cking Pilates every day, or someone who’s working out every day.”
He then attempted to pursue Bri again, despite her being engaged to Connor.
At the reunion, Chris apologised for his behaviour, while Jess called him out for his “deep insecurities” before revealing she is now in a relationship with fellow Season 10 cast member Haramol Gill.

Season: Ten
Their story: Bri ultimately chose Connor over Chris, while Chris chose her over Emma. Bri told Connor she wanted to be his “forever stage five clinger,” and the pair got engaged.
After the pods, Bri tried to seek closure from Chris in Cabo, which Connor wasn’t happy about. Following his breakup, Chris also attempted to pursue Bri again, something she later disclosed to Connor at the time.
Their fate: They didn’t get married, but the story didn’t end there. Bri called off the engagement because she didn’t feel ready to commit to marriage. At the reunion, they revealed they had continued dating afterwards, with Bri even suggesting that marriage might still be on the table down the line.
However, in April 2026, it was reported that Bri and Connor had split. The pair unfollowed each other on Instagram, and Connor also removed their photos from his profile.

Season: Ten
Their story: Brittany was known for buying a wedding dress before coming on the show as a way of “manifesting” her future husband. In the pods, she gravitated towards Devonta, especially his “nerdy” voice.
During the experiment, Devonta’s grandfather passed away, but he chose to stay in order to continue building his relationship with Brittany. The pair ultimately got engaged and followed the full progression of the experiment together.
Their fate: They didn’t make it to the aisle and instead broke up in their apartment. Brittany said she still saw a future with Devonta, but he questioned whether he could love her in the way she needed. In his confessional, he was more direct, referring to his fiancée as a “shadow.”
At the reunion, Brittany claimed Devonta had no plans to meet up after the show ended despite them still being engaged. She also said he went on a “girls trip” with Ashley, Brittany, and pod member Priyanka before suddenly ending the relationship.
Devonta, who is currently roommates with Alex, is now engaged and expecting a child.

Season: Ten
Their story: Amber entered the experiment motivated by finding a stable husband and father figure for her 7-year-old daughter. Jordan was initially hesitant about becoming a parent, but continued pursuing Amber and wrote her a letter calling her “the most beautiful person that I have never seen.”
As their connection developed, Amber said she felt comfortable with Jordan and that he didn’t judge her. He eventually proposed, and she said she would love to marry him.
Their fate: They broke up. At the altar, both said “I do.” But at the reunion, they revealed they had divorced just four months after the ceremony. Jordan said that Amber’s trust issues from previous relationships played a role in their split.
Amber, however, felt Jordan was never fully ready for marriage and also revealed that he left without speaking to Emma. She became emotional and briefly stormed off set, before returning and ultimately describing Jordan as a “good guy.”
© 2026 Netflix, Inc.Ashley Carpenter and Alex Henderson
Season: Ten
Their story: Alex joined the show to prioritise substance over looks and learn from past mistakes, while Ashley was tired of people pursuing her for her looks rather than her personality and hoped the experiment would change that.
The pair got engaged and initially shared strong chemistry. However, as they adjusted to life outside the pods, Ashley became concerned about inconsistencies in Alex’s past, while Alex said they were struggling with a lack of physical connection.
Their fate: Not together. At the altar, Ashley stopped Alex before he could give his answer.
“I know your answer, and it doesn’t matter to me. I know you don’t choose me, and I’m not choosing you either,” she said. “When we were in the pods, all of our stories, all of our future plans, they aligned perfectly. However, once we left the pods, there was no effort. There was no intimacy. There were no questions you had for me. I felt like as soon as we moved into the apartment, we were roommates.”
© 2026 Netflix, Inc.Emma Betsinger and Mike Gibney
Season: Ten
Their story: Emma and Mike hit it off in the pods, with Emma opening up about her past and the challenges she’s faced. She shared that she was born with birthmarks all over her body, which carried a “very high chance of melanoma,” requiring 10 surgeries before the age of 7.
She also explained that she has never known the identity of her birth parents, which has made her unsure about having children, as she worries about unknowingly passing on certain traits. Despite this, the pair got engaged, even though Mike was certain he wanted children while Emma remained undecided.
Their fate: They broke up. Throughout the experiment, Emma and Mike continued discussing her reservations about becoming a mother, but never fully resolved the issue.
On their wedding day, Emma said “I do,” but Mike said he couldn’t marry her because he wasn’t sure she wanted to have a family in the future.
At the reunion, Mike said he was surprised by Emma’s decision, as they had both agreed they would say “no.” He also revealed he is now in a new relationship with a woman he has been dating for seven months.
