When does the ‘Love is Blind’ reunion come out? How many couples are still together?
“Love is Blind” Season 8 started off hopeful, premiering on Valentine’s Day.
Five couples left the pods engaged after developing what seemed like solid connections: Daniel and Taylor, Monica and Joey, Devin and Virginia, Ben and Sara and David and Lauren.
The way the show works is that singles enter soundproofed pods to try to find a match and fall in love without ever seeing their potential partner face-to-face. Their connection is initially based on voice and conversation skills until some time passes and the couples must decide if they’d like to continue the experiment and get engaged.
If both partners agree, then the couple will meet for the very first time before heading to Mexico for a honeymoon-style vacation. After that, they go to the real world, where they will live together for four weeks and introduce their partner to friends and family members. Finally, comes the wedding where the couple will choose whether they want to be together forever.

Love Is Blind Season 8 Reunion Recap: Most Shocking, Dramatic Moments, What Happened, How To Watch, What Time – Netflix Tudum
Haven’t finished Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion yet? To borrow a question from Dave, “What’s wrong with you?!” For everyone else, it’s time to dig into the highs, lows, and dating woes of the latest pod squad and unpack everything that went down at the reunion, which is now available to watch.
Overflowing with sisters, surprises and somehow even more sisters, the Season 8 reunion tested the limits of “Minnesota nice.” The couples and singles (plus, whatever Meg and Mason are) came together for the first time since the wedding days, and the drama did not disappoint. There were revelations about rogue DMs, text message receipts pulled from armpits, and a tattoo reveal we’ll never be able to unsee. So, top off your golden goblet and indulge in a slice of cream pie before scrolling through our recap of the most memorable (and messy) moments below.
And if you want to know where everyone stands today, check out our Season 8 status update to find out about what’s happened since the couples and singles left the reunion couches.
Apologies, Garrett, but Daniel’s reunion glow up might have set a new standard. His fresh haircut and tux were only the beginning, as the newlywed also revealed that he also got some new ink to match. Mere minutes into the reunion, Daniel unbuttons his shirt to reveal that he tattooed Taylor’s eyes on his chest. “The first thing I noticed when the reveal doors opened was her eyes,” he says. “It was my favorite part [of her].” As for his promise to get a matching Taco Bell lip tattoo, Daniel says he’s working on it. Otherwise, Daniel and Taylor have never been more aligned. Not only have they purchased their first home, but their families have seamlessly blended together, lending support to each other through the ups and downs over the past year.
The reunion featured plenty of surprise guests (more on that later), but Dave’s sister was not one of them. That doesn’t mean, however, that their sibling connection wasn’t a topic of discussion. “[My sister] struggles seeing how hurt Lauren was and how hard it was for her to go through that,” says Dave, who makes it clear that he regrets not standing by Lauren. In fact, he admits that he’s been extremely torn up by how things ended, agreeing that she’s the “one who got away.” While Lauren appreciates Dave’s apology after all the drama, she has no intentions of reconnecting in the future. “Emotional maturity wise, I am lightyears ahead of you — and that became very clear,” she says. “I was so honest with you the whole time and you chose to believe everyone but me.”
After their wedding day ended in tears, it’s safe to say that Sara and Ben are still not on the same wavelength. The two continued to date after filming, but at the reunion, they have very different accounts of where things went wrong, as Sara’s sister watches on. Sara claims Ben ghosted her when she moved to Nashville. “I get [there] and that’s when I find that he removed me from Find My Friends,” Sara says. “He just dropped me the day I left.” Ben, meanwhile, was under the impression that they split during their final conversation before Sara’s move. When he reached out to apologize for the miscommunication, Sara didn’t respond, leaving him to believe that she was the one who ghosted him. From that moment on, the former couple lost all sense of trust, prompting Sara to look at the TikTok drama through a whole new lens. “I chose to trust Ben [about the video],” she says. “But knowing what I know now … a TikTok like that makes sense.”
“I got there emotionally with Devin,” Virginia, dripping in pink crystals, tells her ex-fiancé at the reunion. “But we just were not in alignment on some really important things.” While Devin claims that the former couple’s “core values” aren’t totally at odds, insisting that he walks through life with “love [for] everyone,” Virginia uses the opportunity to express exactly what she believes in. “I 100% support the LGBTQ community. I also believe that women should have the decision to choose if they want to have an abortion or not,” she says. “I also believe that different religions should be valued.” The two attempt to hash out their political and personal differences, but only end up furthering the divide — especially after Virginia reveals she discovered a note from a former flame by Devin’s bedside leading up to their wedding day.
It’s safe to say that Joey and Monica are no longer sharing a communal sock bin. After the two choose not to tie the knot, the former couple reunite at the reunion, which Joey rolls into on his longboard. Things get tense between the two, but luckily Joey’s sisters are in the audience to back him up. While Joey and Monica don’t see eye to eye on how their relationship unfolded after filming, both agree that they were stuck in a “friend zone” limbo. “You shouldn’t have to tell a fiancé to want to touch you and want to be by you,” she tells Joey. Their conversation takes a dramatic turn when Monica reveals that she discovered only recently that Joey sent Madison a DM, leaving her to question his trustworthiness. Somehow pulled into another love triangle, Madison makes it abundantly clear that she was never interested in Joey, despite him allegedly claiming that she was “all over him” at the bars after filming.
In what will surely go down as one of the most iconic moments in Love Is Blind history, Madison pulls out multiple text message receipts from her armpit (!) during a heated exchange with Alex. Facing off against the three other members of her messy pod love square across the reunion stage, Madison fields attacks from all directions. Mason and Alex both agree it was “crazy to see how different” she was as they watched the show, while Meg casts doubt that she was ever really interested in Mason at all. Having absolutely none of it, Madison then attempts to expose Alex, whom she claims called Mason “weird.” After all is said and done — and the foursome are clearly never going to mend fences — she pointedly ends her speech with the promise that even more receipts could be incoming. “I do have more,” she says, “but that’s all I could fit in my armpit.”
Love is in the air — and there’s plenty to go around. The Season 8 couples and singles made room on the reunion couches for AD from Love Is Blind Season 6 and Love Is Blind: UK alum Ollie. During the show, the pair not only reveal that they are now a couple, but that they also met on the new season of Perfect Match, which returns this summer. But that’s not all. While filming a promo, Ollie shocks AD by getting down on one knee and proposing to her. Through her tears and excited screams, she accepts, marking the first time singles from different editions of the franchise have found love.

The unexpected star of the reunion? Jimmy! The Season 6 single appeared in not one, but two of the most unforgettable moments over the entire series — and somehow got pulled into Ben and Sara’s drama. The top 5 Love Is Blind moments voted on by the fans were revealed throughout the reunion with Jessica’s breakup speech to Jimmy ranking above the rest. In a prerecorded speech, Jessica thanked viewers for the love. “I just want to thank everyone who heard and felt that moment and it resonated with them,” she said. Want to see the full list? Check out the top 15 most memorable moments in Love Is Blind history.
Miss the Minneapolis pod squad already? Fear not! Before long, you’ll have a fresh crop of eligible singles to obsess over. A new season of Love Is Blind is on its way — and now we know where it’s taking place. Nick and Vanessa Lachey announced at the reunion that Season 9 of the dating experiment will be located in Denver, Colorado. To help break the news, Josh Mettellus of the Minnesota Vikings passed the ball to Denver Broncos’ linebacker Alex Singleton. As for the love stories that await in the Rocky Mountain city, only time will tell, but we do know that Denver is ranked as one of the best cities for singles to mingle.

Love Is Blind’s Monica Reveals Moment She Knew She’d Say No to Joey at the Altar
Love Is Blind star Monica Danús exclusively told E! News the exact moment she realized she wouldn’t say “I do” to fiancé Joey Leveille at the altar during their wedding in the season eight finale.
Monica Danús wasn’t blindly walking away from her relationship.
The Love Is Blind star shared that she put a lot of thought into her decision to say “no” to fiancé Joey Leveille at the altar during the Netflix show’s season eight finale.
“The moment I knew I would say no at the altar was the night before,” Monica exclusively told E! News. “I was really thinking about everything, and I never got what I needed from Joey. I never got the, ‘I’m committed to you’ from Joey that goes beyond just the saying, ‘I love you.'”
And that lack of commitment gave her a bad feeling in the leadup to the wedding. As Monica put it, “It was just an uneasiness.”
“You should not feel uneasy going into a wedding to your fiancé,” she continued. “So, in that moment, that was my answer.”
As for why Monica still showed up and got dressed for the big day? The 28-year-old said she was holding out hope that Joey would demonstrate how much he cares.
“I was hoping that it would have changed,” she explained. “I was hoping that that next day at the wedding, he would have said something to me to make my answer change to prove to me that he was ready.”
However, when the “final buzzer was going off,” Monica said Joey didn’t pull through in the way she wanted, adding, “And it didn’t happen after filming.”
In fact, the digital marketing specialist said that the pair’s friendship fell apart shortly after they broke off their engagement.
“Joey and I do not talk,” Monica confessed. “Joey’s tried to reach out to me and I’m exhausted. I don’t have time. I tried to have a romantic relationship with Joey—that didn’t work out. I tried to have a friendship with Joey—that didn’t work out.”
She added of the reunion episode, which dropped March 9, “There are so many things that I just scratched the surface [of] at this reunion.”
And Joey confirmed that he and Monica had lost contact—though from his perspective, he wasn’t quite certain why.
“Monica and I basically established a good friendship and support role about two months before we filmed the reunion,” Joey told E!. “Then all of a sudden, Monica got into this different mindset, I guess. I’m not really sure where that came from completely. And she didn’t want to be as much of a friend or support role.”
What wasn’t a shock to Joey? That she would turn him down on their wedding day.
“I wasn’t extremely surprised at Monica’s answer at the altar,” he admitted. “I believe we were kind of on the same page.”
He added, “We kind of knew that we loved each other, but we were not in love with each other.”

Lauren O’Brien and David Bettenburg: Not Together
Their romance failed to take off once the pair landed in Honduras, with Dave revealing he and his then-fiancée had mutual friends in common. But it wasn’t the similar inner circles that proved to be the problem, but rather, Dave’s hesitation in moving forward after they told him about Lauren hooking up with someone they knew before the show.
Not to mention, Dave also didn’t want to introduce Lauren to his friends and family, noting that his dad didn’t know of his engagement and that his sister—who became a big point of contention—disapproved of their relationship altogether.
Monica Danús and Joey Leveille: Not Together
One of the most compatible couples of the season, most viewers assumed Monica and Joey would make it down the aisle and beyond. However, when it came to saying “I do,” Monica instead said, “I don’t right now.”
“In this moment, it’s 100 percent,” she said through tears, “and I just feel like we’re both, we’re not quite there.” As for Joey, he agreed with every word.
“That’s totally okay,” he explained after hugging her. “I think we both have a tremendous amount of love for each other, and that’s apparent. But I think there’s bigger things and bigger growth. And I agree, I don’t think I would be ready. And to be completely honest, I’m also not 100 percent at this time.”
Ben Mezzenga and Sara Carton: Not Together
Though Ben and Sara seemed to disagree on major components of their life together—including religion and politics—by wedding day, the pair seemed to have gotten on the same page. But ultimately, they decided to end their shared story.
As Sara—who said I don’t to a future with Ben—explained, “Ben, I love you so much but I always wanted a partner to be on the same wavelength, and so today, I can’t. I’m sorry but I don’t want that to be misunderstood.”
She later added, “I know that the connection we have is so real and my heart is there, but when we talked about a lot of the values I hold so close to my heart, making this decision, my mind is telling me I can’t.”
Devin Buckley and Virginia Miller: Not Together
Another couple who seemed to be focused on the road ahead post-pods, Devin and Virginia, got along perfectly fine—that is, until the topic of having a prenup came up.
But it was even bigger issues that proved to be enough for Virginia, leading her to ultimately saying no to spending the rest of her life with Devin.
“I think that in a lot of our relationship, I wanted to protect Devin,” she said, through tears, after the leaving the altar. “And I don’t know if that’s a cultural thing, but it’s always been important for me to protect him. So, there were even topics that he didn’t want to talk about, like politics, there were just certain things he just didn’t want me to push on. So there was just depths of our relationship that we didn’t get to. We just didn’t get there.”
Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings: Married
After all was said and done, there was at least one couple who did say yes to forever and a season of love past Christmas: Daniel and Taylor.
Though the pair seemed to face quite the hurdle (Taylor was convinced Daniel followed, then unfollowed her on Instagram before the show and therefore, knew what she looked like), they managed to clear that particular obstacle.
In fact, after exchanging emotional vows, the two enjoyed a beautiful wedding and celebratory reception.
“We did it,” Daniel said while sitting alongisde Taylor after their nuptials, with Taylor adding, “We’re so excited to start the next chapter.”
Brittany Wisniewski and Leo Braudy: Not Together
Though the now-famed art dealer decided to pop the question to the Keeping Well author following his love triangle with Hannah Jiles, the pair ultimately decided after their short engagement, they were better off as friends.
“The chemistry just wasn’t there,” Brittany previously told People in a joint interview with Leo. “We had a talk in the beginning about how this could work and then time went on during the trip and the chemistry just wasn’t there and we mutually felt that. We’re very good communicators, so it was not a big ordeal. It was a very clean, respectful realization.”
Monica Davis and Stephen Richardson: Not Together
Monica and Stephen’s relationship came to a screeching halt when she uncovered “really kinky” sext messages sent between her fiancé and another woman, causing the pair to break up shortly after they arrived home from Mexico. As for Stephen, he apologized in the moment during episode eight, but he also shared a message on social media once the episode aired.
“I hope I didn’t ruin anyone’s day by existing,” he wrote on Instagram Stories Oct. 8, “and if I did, I’m sorry you had to wake up this morning. I wish you didn’t have to either. But I’ll love you all the same.”
Hannah Jiles and Nick Dorka: Not Together
Once Hannah and Nick embarked on life outside the pods, the two had their fair share of ups and downs—and disagreements—to say the least. (Let’s not forget: “I think you get treated as an equal when you star contributing like an equal.”)
And it all came to a head when Hannah decided they wouldn’t make down the aisle. As for Nick, he called their breakup “one of the worst feelings of my life.”
Since then, Hannah has admitted the show forced her to do some self-introspection.
“I’ve learned a lot, I’ve learned there’s things I need to work on,” she said during an October episode of The Viall Files podcast. “For example, I am a very direct person. I know that but I think my delivery is rough. And I’ve learned that delivery is everything.”
Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans: Married
A match made in science-based heaven (i.e. those serendipitous tattoos), Taylor and Garrett clicked from the very beginning and just seemed destined to say, “I do.” Though they did hit a rough patch once Taylor found out he responded to an ex’s DM (according to Garrett, he confirmed he was engaged and shut it down), the rest is Love Is Blind history.
The pair were still married at the Love Is Blind reunion in October 20224.
Marissa George and Ramses Prashad: Not Together
Yes, you read that right: Though Marissa and Ramses rose to become one of this season’s frontrunners of the couples who would make it, the latter ultimately called off their wedding after having second thoughts.
“We have a great future ahead of us, I want to marry you,” Marissa tells her fiancé after a sit-down to which he responds, “I understand falling love is a risk, I understand that.”
However, he noted their differences—which have included his stance on the military—may not be enough for them to work through. “After being married and seeing other marriages and hearing from other married people,” he added. “I just don’t think love alone is enough…I think there needs to be other things that are also working.”
As for Marissa, though she tried to navigate past their perspectives, once she confirmed it was over, she broke down into tears. “I don’t think you should’ve come to this experience,” she tells him. “How could I feel so sure? And you’re not? It sucks, I want you to choose me,” adding of their split, “This is the worst day of my life.”
Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser: Not Together
Tyler and Ashley quickly became a fan-favorite couple after viewers watched their relatively easy-going romance unfold. However, the couple hit a bump in the road once Tyler later shared that he had three children, which Ashley referred to as his “sperm donor babies.” (However, there’s online discourse over the extent of his involvement, which he has not addressed publicly).
By the October 2024 reunion episode, Ashley and Tyler were able to move past this fact and went on to not only reconnect—but in fact, become husband and wife.
“We started this journey two months ago and this changed our entire lives,” Tyler says while sitting alongside Ashley after their wedding. “Now, we get to spend the rest of our lives together.”
However, Ashley later shared that the pair had called it quits following over one year of marriage.
“After much reflection, I want to share that Tyler and I have been separated for several weeks and have now made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” she told People in a January 2025 statement. “While I had hoped for mutual understanding and transparency in our relationship, it has become clear that our paths are no longer aligned, making it impossible for me to continue in this marriage.”
Alexandra Byrd and Tim Godbee: Not Together
Alex and Tim seemed to smooth over their major disagreement in Mexico over by the time they got back home to Washington, D.C. and seemed to be better than ever. In fact, Tim had an emotional meeting with Alex’s dad that seemed to cement their future.
However, after Alex met with Tim’s family, they got into yet another argument and Tim ended their engagement by telling Alex that he didn’t ever want to see her again. Since then, both have spoken out to defend themselves after the breakup, with Alex noting that their split was not “a mutual decision.”
Chelsea Blackwell and Jimmy Presnell: Not Together
After one or two (or a few) fights throughout the season, Chelsea and Jimmy appeared to finally put their disagreements behind them during an amusement park date set right before their wedding.
However, Jimmy made it clear that he was ready for their rollercoaster ride to end, breaking off his engagement to a teary-eyed Chelsea—who was stunned at his decision.
“I love you to death and I want a relationship with you,” Jimmy told Chelsea on their date, “and it want it work so bad—but I don’t want to go to the altar. I can’t.”
As he explained, “We’re condensing it down to one argument, but it’s been like five or six really big issues that really hit home and hurt my feelings.” (One being that Chelsea revealed Jimmy’s secret about his past relationship with his female friend.)
And after yet another back-and-forth between the two over their respective ties with exes, Chelsea left for good in tears: “I was so hopeful for us.”
The pair were both single during the March 2024 reunion.
Clay Gravesande and AD Smith: Not Together
While Clay expressed his hesitation to getting married due to his own outlook on his father’s infidelity, AD reassured him that they would prevail as a couple and all seemed to be well between the two.
But once faced with the task of saying I do to forever at the altar, Clay said I don’t instead, telling AD that it wouldn’t be “responsible” of him to get married knowing he wasn’t ready.
Cue the shock.
“I’m going to put the work in for you,” he told AD, “and we’ll go through this together. I don’t care what nobody says; I know fully I’m not ready for marriage and you deserve the best. And if I’m not ready to give you 100 percent, I won’t go there with you when I’m not ready…I can’t say yes right now.”
It was a revelation that made AD declare through tears that the relationship was a waste of her “f–king time.”
As for Clay, he also revealed that financial—and emotional—ties played a big part in him walking away. “I looked at myself in the mirror and said, ‘Am I a husband?’” he admitted, “and the answer was no. Am I deeply in love? The answer was no.’”
During the reunion, Clay expressed that he made a mistake and wanted to date AD, but she played coy on if she’d ever consider getting back together.
AD confessed that she did go on a couple dates with costar Matthew Duliba after filming wrapped, but they are not together.
Amy Cortés and Johnny McIntyre: Still Married
The only season six couple who did say yes to forever? Amy and Johnny, who not only celebrated their new beginning with a gorgeous ceremony, but also seamlessly merged their families into one, with Amy’s dad sweetly telling Johnny’s sister that he feels like he has “multiple daughters” now.
As for Johnny, he too declared at his reception that his father-in-law was his “new dad.”
They were still married during the reunion episode.
Brittany Mills and Kenneth Gorham: Not Together
Though their romance started off strong, Brittany and Kenneth’s relationship fizzled out once they returned to the real world.
As Brittany told Life & Style, “I think that it really took a different turn when we got back to Charlotte and got back home. And I think that our in the pods we were very, very passionate and very intense. And then coming back home, that intensity kind of died down a bit.”
The former fiancés remain friends, with Brittany saying at the reunion, “Although we are no longer in a relationship together, the bond that we have is going to last for an eternity.”
Laura Dadisman and Jeramey Lutinski: Not Together
Laura and Jeramey’s engagement came to a fiery end once Laura learned her fiancé had reconnected with another pod mate, Sarah Ann Bick, during a night out. After their tense confrontation, Laura told Jeramey to kick rocks.
But instead of that, he went off to ride jet skis with Sarah Ann.
During the reunion in March 2024, Jeramey revealed he has been dating Sarah Ann off-and-on for a year—ever since filming the show—but they’ve since broken up.
Laura is dating someone else, who she did not identify at the reunion.
Izzy Zapata Jr. and Stacy Snyder: Not Together
While the season five couple seemed to have worked their way through various issues—including Izzy’s early connection with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s high expectations about her lifestyle and plateware (no paper plates, please!)—Stacy cited Izzy’s dishonesty about his credit history as a major reason she chose not to get married.
Despite not saying “I do” at the altar, however, Stacy still wanted to remain in a relationship with the devastated Izzy.
“We’re at different spots,” he told her. “It really breaks my heart.”
As for Stacy, she was thankful to Izzy for opening her up “emotionally,” but she didn’t feel 100 percent about their future. “Fairly certain isn’t good enough for me to say yes for the rest of my life,” she explained.
Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.
Milton Johnson and Lydia Gonzalez: Still Married
Season five’s sole success story came from arguably its most unlikely pairing.
After getting off to a rocky start after it was revealed Lydia was in a relationship with Milton’s pod-friend Uche Okoroha before the show began, the geology-loving pair were the only ones to make it through the experiment still in a relationship.
“Getting married is a dream come true,” Lydia said. “I feel so, so happy. I got everything I need right here. It feels like home, it feels safe.”
Ever the analytical engineer, Milton said, “All of the data points led me to: this is the right decision.”
Paul Peden and Micah Lussier: Not Together
Opposites seemed to attract all season for this pair…until they got to the altar. Sensing Paul’s hesitation, Micah asked him to give his answer first and it was a pass on marriage for Paul.
“I literally feel like a disaster,” Micah said. “If Paul would have wanted to marry me, I 100 percent would have said ‘I do.'”
At the reunion, Paul apologized for his comment in a confessional about not being able to see Micah as a mother.
“I think I phrased that really unfairly toward her,” Paul explained. “I think the better way to phrase that would be that I can’t see us as parents.”
While the duo briefly reconciled after filming, they ultimately weren’t able to make their relationship work, with Paul explaining they broke up for good when he visited Micah in Arizona.
In After the Altar, Paul revealed he was dating a new woman who enjoyed traveling and his cooking skills. He eventually went Instagram official with eyelash beautician Geneva Dunham.
Kwame Appiah and Chelsea Griffin: Still Married
Despite Kwame’s mother refusing to attend the wedding and his arguably inappropriate conversations with Micah, whom he also connected with in the pods, Kwame and Chelsea were one of the three couples to exchange vows at the end of season four.
During the reunion, Chelsea revealed she has since met her husband’s mom and Kwame offered an apology to his wife and her family for his behavior, saying his talks with Micah were “not the best representation.”
The couple is living in Seattle with their beloved dog Rocky.
Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi: Still Married
Sure, they say love is blind, but occasionally it needs a little bit of time—or proposing to another woman—to realize you made the wrong choice. Which is what happened when Zack initially got engaged to Irina Solomonova, only for the couple to break up during their trip to Mexico.
After asking Bliss for a second chance, the pair defied the odds (and Bliss’ dad’s wishes) and both said “I do” at the altar. (And, no, they did not sit it out, enjoying that all important first turn around the dance floor to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” the song that bonded them in the pods.)
After the finale aired, Zack shared a photo of the couple on Instagram with the caption “Eternal Bliss.”
The couple shared in November 2023 that they are expecting their first baby, before welcoming daughter Galileo Terri Rayne Goytowski in April 2024.
Brett Brown and Tiffany Pennywell: Still Married
Come on, not since season one’s Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed has an LIB pairing seemed so meant to be!
The oldest couple in the experiment—Tiffany was 36 and Brett was 37—exchanged vows, even though Brett had a sartorial emergency when his pants did not fit properly on their wedding day. (Shout out to seamstress Lucia, you’re a real one!)
Since filming wrapped, Tiffany and Brett moved to Portland and are still perfect! Phew!
Raven Ross and Sikiru “SK” Alagbada: Not Together
After SK said “I don’t” at their wedding, he and Raven seemingly parted ways.
However, when the cameras stopped rolling, the former flames reunited, revealing they were dating again during the season three reunion special.
But a month later, the couple announced that “we have decided to go our separate ways” amid allegations that SK had been unfaithful. In a joint statement shared on social media in November, SK and Raven said, “Due to on-going legal proceedings surrounding these allegations, we cannot provide additional details and ask that you please respect our privacy during this hard time. Thank you for following our love story and believing in us.”
Jackie Bonds and Marshall Glaze: Not Together
Fans watched with dismay as Jackie chose to give Josh Demas, the other man she connected with in the pods, a second chance, meeting up with him before ending her engagement to Marshall.
However, during the reunion, Jackie set the record straight on the timeline of events. “I broke up with Marshall before I met Josh at the coffee shop,” she said. “It looks like I’m a cheater. I am not a cheater.”
Jackie then addressed the end of her relationship with Marshall, saying she “can take accountability” for her words and actions. “We just weren’t meant to be.”
As for her romance with Josh? They were still dating and living together in After the Altar, but Jackie announced during a September 2023 Instagram Live that they had broken up.
As for Marshall, he told E! that he briefly connected with fellow contestant Kacia Clark after the show. “We tried,” Marshall explained, “But I wanted to just distance myself from all of that from that experience.”
In After the Altar, Marshall revealed he’s been dating girlfriend Dr. Chay Barnes for one year and wants to spend forever with her. They got engaged in December 2023.
Nancy Rodriguez and Bartise Bowden: Not Together
Nancy and Bartise had one of Love Is Blind’s more explosive weddings, but not because of the bride or groom.
While Nancy was ready to get married in the season three finale episode, Bartise revealed he was not so confident in their relationship. The update did not sit well with Nancy’s family, who unapologetically sounded off on Bartise.
Despite the drama, Bartise and Nancy have maintained an on-again, off-again friendship. “We’ve gone from being friends to being acquaintances,” he told E!, “to being completely no communication back to friends.”
And in April 2023, Bartisse, who appeared on Perfect Match, announced the arrival of his son, Hayden, though he hasn’t publicly shared the identity of the little one’s mom.
Several months later, he debuted his new romance with Cait Vanderberry on Instagram.
