Which 'Love is Blind' Couples Are Still Together in 2023?
Since the TV phenomenon Love is Blind debuted in 2020, viewers have watched singles fall in love and get engaged sight unseen. While not all relationships on the hit Netflix series have ended in marriage (just 35% of them have), most of the couples who did exchange vows on the series are still going strong ... or so we assume.
Let's take a look back at which couples tied the knot over the course of the first four seasons (there were nine of them)—and which of that bunch are still together.
Season 1 Love is Blind couples who are still together
Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton
Fan-favorites Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton fell in love on the first season of the Netflix series. "I don't think that I ever could have met someone like Cameron any other way," Speed admitted on her wedding day.
The pair are still going strong, years after their nuptials aired on Netflix. Speed and Hamilton celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in November 2022.
In a sweet tribute on Instagram, Hamilton wrote: "Happy birthday, my love! I’m grateful for you every day, rain or shine. You light up this world. The last four years together have been a gift. I threw away the receipt, so we’ve got to keep each other ?? Happy anniversary, baby!"
Speed also commemorated their anniversary, writing: "4 years into forever with you Mr. Hamilton ?? I’m so much better because of it! I love you to the moon and back! Forever my Clyde #MinusThePowPow Happy Anniversary Baby! ?????? ."
Since appearing on Love is Blind, Speed and Hamilton have also released a book titled Leap of Faith: Finding Love the Modern Way.
Amber Pike and Matt Barnett
Amber Pike and Matt Barnett were the first couple to officially say "I do" on Love Is Blind. But, before walking down the aisle, the bride declared that the morning of her wedding was a "disaster" because Barnett was "having cold feet." However, they warmed up in time for the ceremony. "I can't imagine a life without you," Barnett told Pike, to which she replied, "Good, cause you're stuck."
Like Speed and Hamilton, Pike and Barnett celebrated four years of marriage in November 2022. "People may think getting married the way we did is crazy, but I’ve always trusted my instincts (even the crazy ones) and they haven’t steered me wrong yet and thankfully your crazy instincts work damn near perfectly with mine," Pike wrote on Instagram. "Happy Anniversary @barnettisblind I wouldn’t trade our crazy life over these last 4 years for anything. ??????."
Barnett has praised his "gorgeous and amazing wife" on social media, thanking her for "always pushing me to be my best self, for being my rock, and for filling my heart with joy and laughter. You are my everything and I'm blessed to spend every day with you."

Season 2 Love is Blind couples who are still together (there are none!)
While Season 2 ended with two couples tying the knot, both have since split.
Jarrette Jones and Iyanna McNeely—no longer together
Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones announced in August 2022 that they were splitting. "What's going on, family. After much thought, we're saddened to share that we have separated and will begin the process of divorcing. While we have love for each other, our lives are going in different directions, and that's okay," a statement on Instagram read. "Coming to this decision was far from easy and we will always wish each other the absolute best."
"We hope you all will give us some space as we close this chapter of our lives. Thank you to our close friends and family for loving us both through our experience. To the Love Is Blind family and Netflix, thank you for this unforgettable opportunity and support. Each of you have brought overwhelming love and joy into our lives," the pair's statement continued. "This experience has taught us so much about ourselves, vulnerability and love. We don't regret a single thing!"
In court documents obtained by E! News, McNeely is said to have cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce.
Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson—no longer together
After one year of marriage, People reported in August 2022 that Danielle Ruhl had filed for divorce from Nick Thompson. Months later, Ruhl told E! News, "There has been no accountability from his side...I wanted to make sure that it was noted that it takes two, but unfortunately, with every interview, he is putting all of the blame on me and this isn't new. This was something he did the entire relationship."
Thompson reacted to his ex's remarks in a statement to People. "It's hurtful to hear these comments. It's disappointing that Danielle chooses to make false claims and defamatory comments about me and our relationship," he said. "It's especially hurtful because she knows firsthand how difficult being in the public eye is."
Thompson also said that Ruhl's claims were "either untrue or best-case scenario, lacking context."
"As I have stated before, I implemented a boundary to not engage in communication with Danielle for my own mental health because I did not feel like our communication was trustworthy or yielding positive outcomes," he told People. "In good conscience, I will not share private matters or my experience in our relationship publicly because it's not in my character to disparage people. I am and have been ready to stop living in the past and move forward."
Season 3 Love is Blind couples who are still together
Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux
Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux were the first couple of Season 3 to get engaged in the pods and the first to walk away from the altar married. "While Brennon never converted to Judaism, he did convert me to that country livin," she wrote on Instagram in 2022. "We’ve spent the last year and a half going to football games on the weekends, spending time with family and friends, and falling even more in love."
"This man has changed the way I look at life and shown me what truly matters," she added. "He’s taught me how to love and how to not take life so seriously. I love you so much my cowboy??."
In 2023, Alfia told Us Weekly that she and Lemieux were "working" on having kids.
Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton
While Colleen Reed admitted multiple times ahead of her wedding that she didn't know whether she wanted to go through with it, she ended up taking "that leap of faith" with Matt Bolton. The pair were the second couple to get married in Season 3 of Love is Blind.
During the reunion episode, the pair revealed that they were not currently living together. Reed explained that "logistics-wise and money-wise" they "weren't there" after the wedding. "We got married in an unorthodox way, so we're doing marriage in an unorthodox way," Reed said.
At the time, Reed shared that they had a plan in a couple of months, when their leases lined up, to move in together. "I can't wait to move in with him. I can't wait," she said. "I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with him, so I'm content. We are content. We're on the same page with how we're doing things."

Season 4 Love is Blind couples who are still together
Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah
The first wedding of Season 4 ended with Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah getting married. Speaking to Parade, Appiah revealed that he was "confident" going into his wedding. "Not a lot of people knew, but we had actually gotten a lease the day before the wedding. And so, we knew going into it," he shared.
After their wedding episode dropped on Netflix, Appiah posted photos and videos that were taken during their engagement when "the big cameras weren’t on" them.
"We got to enjoy life, and communicate, in the ways that feel most natural to us," he wrote alongside the post. "Just a quick response to anyone saying 'they have no chemistry,' or 'they don’t even love each other'.. based on what you saw, I don’t blame you for thinking that. But actually, we had the MOST fun together falling in love!"
Tiffany Pennywell and Brett Brown
Tiffany Pennywell may have fallen asleep mid-date in the pods, but that didn't stop Brett Brown from proposing to her anyway! Thirty minutes after the groom's pants were tailored, the beloved couple exchanged vows in Season 4 of Love is Blind.
"We had no hiccups," Pennywell told Women's Health of her and Brown's journey. "It was too perfect for me, and I'm sitting here trying to figure out am I making the right decision?"
Brown gushed in the 2023 interview that "married life has been great."
"We're enjoying our life together," he continued. "Our love is growing stronger every day."
When asked about "the baby timeline" on the reunion special in April 2023, Pennywell said that she and Brown, at the time, were "really just trying to enjoy" their marriage. "We're traveling the world. We're still getting to learn one another," she continued. "But the thing is, like, we're so committed to one another. We want to have our lives set before we bring a life into this world."
Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi
Although Zack Goytowski broke up with Bliss Poureetezadi in the pods, they got their second chance at love after he and Irina Solomonova ended their engagement.
"I just want to be with you. I just want to spend time with you. I believe there's nobody in this world who I'm meant to be with more than you," Goytowski said as he proposed to Poureetezadi. "No matter what I did. No matter how stupid I was, we were always gonna end up here. I found my person."
The pair went on to get married in Season 4 and shared their first dance to Lee Ann Womack and Sons of the Desert's "I Hope You Dance."
Goytowski celebrated the one-year anniversary of their engagement in April 2023. Poureetezadi reacted to the post, writing, "I LOVE YOU! While I didn’t expect this and was shocked to silence for a moment, I am so glad you asked. You’re my forever! ????."
Poureetezadi admitted to co-host Vanessa Lachey on the reunion special that she can't wait to have a family with Goytowski. She said, "We're still talking about when that time is, but I'm really, really excited for it."
Note: This list doesn't include Season 4's Jackelina Bonds and Josh Demas, as they did not get engaged on the show. But, hey, they met in a pod. It sorta counts!
