Fans are eager for any news on the couples, and when there’ll be a true season 2.
Recently, Netflix gave dedicated fans a three-part special update on the season 1 couples, dubbed Love Is Blind: After the Altar. For anyone looking for juicy new details about where everyone is now, you’re in the right place. After numerous breakups, and a few continued engagements, it’s time to see who made their love last (looking at you Lauren and Cameron!), and who decided to call it quits. Scroll down to see where all the Love Is Blind contestants are now.

Since the show, she’s started hosting a podcast and posting lots of exercise pics. Kelly hashed out remaining details about her whirlwind romance with Kenny in the Love Is Blind: After the Altar special.
In a recent Instagram post, Chase reflected on the two years since the show, and concluded since the experience she’s been able to “embrace and embody all parts of me.”

Where she is now: Diamond is currently CEO of a jewelry and accessories line called The Lady Box. No matter how far she’s come, she still reps her the Atlanta Hawks and their dancers. She’s previously shared throwback pictures from when she danced for the team.
On the Love Is Blind reunion show, we learned that Diamond is working toward her PhD. (And no, she and Carlton did not rekindle their romance.) In Love Is Blind: After the Altar, Diamond reunited with the rest of the Pod Squad, and she once again revisits her heated breakup with Carlton.
In November 2021, Diamond also appeared on the Steve Harvey Show, where she interviewed three bachelors as potential love interests. In an Instagram post about the daytime television spot, she said her time on Love Is Blind was overall a “positive outcome.”
Giannina Gibelli, 25

Where she is now: Doing a lot of modeling—and not married to Damian. In the season finale, Giannina says “I do” to Damian—but he tells her he can’t go through with the marriage. As we predicted, Giannina was the mystery bride who went running down the street in her wedding dress. But on the Love Is Blind reunion show, we learned that she and Damian had started dating again.
Since the reunion, Giannina hasn’t posted on Instagram about Damian…at all. In Love Is Blind: After the Altar, viewers see a surprise: Damian doesn’t bring her as a date to the special. The details behind their on, then off, then on again romance are revealed.
As of now, it looks like Giannina has pivoted to fashion design, and is advertising loungewear on her Instagram.
