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—and it does actually lead to lasting relationships for some. 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 those unfamiliar with the premise, 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 and friends. But anyone who knows the stress of wedding planning can guess what happens from there: fights, 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-Hamilton, a former contestant (player? participant?), once shared this piece of advice for Love Is Blind couples: “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!” 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.
