A very thorough investigation into which Love Is Blind couples are actually still together.

 

Warning: This post definitely contains spoilers for Love Is Blind on Netflix.

Is everyone… okay?

Our absolutely ridiculous journey of watching strangers get engaged without even seeing each other has come to an end, with a lot of gut wrenching at-the-altar rejection, a runaway bride and yes, a couple of happy newlyweds.

A taste of just how wild Love Is Blind is. Post continues below video.

A quick recap of the finale, uploaded to Netflix last week: Obviously, Jessica said no to Mark, probably because he wasn’t Barnett and also, did you know she’s 10 years older than him? Damien told Giannina her constant mood swings were too confusing for him, leading her to literally… sprint away, and Kelly ditched poor, unsuspecting Kenny at the altar leaving us all well and truly shook.

But on the bright side, Barnett decided he didn’t mind marrying Amber and her unpaid debt, and everyone’s favourites Lauren and Cameron continued to be a shining light in this absolute clusterf*** of a show.

But this was filmed way back in 2018, so… basically, we needed to know if the 2/5 couples that said ‘I Do’ are still together more than a year later, and if any of the others got back together.

We got into detective mode and searched the internet for clues, and here’s what we found:

Jessica and Mark.

Surprising precisely no one, it appears Jessica and Mark are not together.

In an interview with USA Today, Jessica said she'd recently began dating again, putting the final nail into the coffin that was her and Mark's relationship.

"I'm actually dating around, but nothing serious. I didn’t date for a long time, after the show, but I recently started up again. It’s been really great. I’m actually in L.A. now. So it’s been a nice change from Atlanta. Atlanta is a tough place to date," she said.

She also said she and Mark had discussed saying 'I don't', so it came as a shock when he changed his mind and said 'I do'.

"He and I had to choose who we were going to have as our bridesmaids and a lot of the details…  but when the doors opened I realised there were, like, five more groomsmen than we discussed, and I thought, 'Oh, welp, I think he’s gonna say yes,' and that’s exactly what happened."

Mark told the publication despite them discussing saying no, he was a hopeless romantic who thought 'We can do this' when he saw her walking down the aisle. But then she rejected him.

"I mean, it hurt. I was disappointed, but it was such an intense experience, and we were both trying to figure it out. Jess is always gonna have a special place in my heart no matter what."

Kelly and Kenny.

Aight, looking at Kelly and Kenny's body language in this photo from the upcoming reunion special is really the only proof we need to show they're not together:

Also, Kenny seems to have moved away from Atlanta, as his Twitter bio states he now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.


Gi posted hers in November 2019, and Damian in January, ending two-and-a-half years of social-media hibernation.

On February 26, Gi posted a photo and it definitely looks like there's a ring on her finger.

Plus, in an interview with Esquire she said she and Damian talked all the time, and she had "No new love interests, no. Just the same one".

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Ugh, the reunion special can't come soon enough.

Amber and Barnett.

Barnett overcame his 'cold feet' on his wedding day to marry Amber, and it seems like the couple have made it work ever since.

Producer Chris Coelen told Reality Blurred Amber and Barnett were still together.


They've done a pretty good job at keeping it hidden: In December 2018, Barnett shared selfies from a trip to Italy and Amber - who was obviously with him - didn't share hers until March 2019. She also shared a photo from Venice, and Barnett posted a pic of himself there a month later.

Imagine keeping your marriage secret for more than a year??? That's wild.

Lauren and Cameron.

Yes, you can breathe a sigh of relief, because Lauren and Cameron a.k.a Netflix's royal couple, are still going strong.


Lauren told Elite Daily they were together and had even grown their family with a puppy.

"Oh my God. We're so happy," she said. "It's just, like, every day we learn more and more about each other, and we honestly fall more and more in love with each other."

They're living together in the house Cameron showed her on the show, which some super sleuths figured out by analysing the backgrounds of her Instagram stories over the last few weeks.

Lauren told Variety keeping their relationship secret was hard, especially over the holidays when they were celebrating with each other's families, and are planning a wedding reception for sometime this year.

Also, um, check out this quote, which may be the sweetest thing we've ever heard:

"I have never been loved by a man the way that Cameron loves me, and I was telling my mum one day sometimes I feel like Cameron’s love can be overwhelming. Not in a bad way, but you know, he’s so touchy, and it’s beautiful. And I told my mum and she was like, 'Well you know what, it’s probably because you’ve never been loved properly by a man like that before.' And when she told me that, that blew my… I was like, 'Wow', because it’s so true. So really honestly to finally be a woman that’s loved properly, I’m on cloud nine. I’m so happy.

Stoppppp.

The Love Is Blind reunion special will air on Netflix from March 5, and if you fancy yourself getting engaged to a stranger through a wall... producer Chris Coelen is pretty confident there will be a season 2, and a season 3 and probably even a season 20.
