Here's Where All the Love Is Blind Couples Ended Up
Netflix’s Love Is Blind was certainly a new twist on the classic dating show formula, which has us wondering if any of the couples are still together all this time after filming. The series, hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, saw contestants start their relationships without being able to meet in person – and unable to meet until they get engaged. But the engagement is just the start: the show then followed them as they tried to figure out their relationships in the real world, integrate their families and lives, and head toward a wedding. Sound difficult? It definitely produced tons of drama on screen, with plenty of intense breakups.
Now that a special to catch up with the contestants is almost here (check out the three-part Love Is Blind: After the Altar reunion on Netflix on July 28), we are eager to find out more about which couples are still together after the show. Keep reading to learn who has – and hasn’t – made it.

Are Carlton and Diamond From Love Is Blind Still Together?
If you’re caught up on the show, you already know that Carlton and Diamond’s relationship was the first one to end. After Carlton revealed that he had dated both men and women in the past, the new couple had some serious problems and, ultimately, a devastating onscreen fight that ended with them deciding to break up and leave the show.
Although they’re obviously not together anymore, Diamond did tell Entertainment Weekly that they’re friends now.
“Carlton and I were able to establish a friendship after the show. But it took a very long time for myself. Carlton reached out to me on several occasions. I wasn’t ready. I had to put that behind me and remind myself that he was a good person despite what happened on the show and don’t hold grudges,” she said. “I finally reached back out to him after he made several attempts to reach out to me, and it started out as small talk, like happy birthday or happy new year or hope all is well. He did apologise. So I finally reached back out to him, and we’ve had conversations.”
However, when Love Is Blind: After the Altar started its promotion, Carlton posted an Instagram claiming there was a false narrative being built around the way things ended with Diamond, calling out Diamond for her reaction to his revelation in the show. Carlton said the truth will come out in the reunion.
Are Damien and Giannina From Love Is Blind Still Together?
Damien and Giannina led us all on a roller coaster, but in the end, they found their way back to each other. On the show’s season finale, she said “I do” to him before he tearfully declined to marry her, saying she was not ready for marriage. She stormed off (literally, off the set) before confronting him about his decision. He put all the blame on her, telling her that she was too emotionally turbulent and didn’t know what she really wanted. Their relationship seemed irreparable, but during the finale episode, they revealed that they managed to work things out and are happily committed to one another.
They have since celebrated their two-year anniversary in October 2020. Damian’s Instagram post with Giannina read: “So incredibly lucky and blessed to have grown with you over these past two years.”
Are Barnett and Amber From Love Is Blind Still Together?
Amber and Barnett had some onscreen drama over finances, but that didn’t stop them from making the commitment of a lifetime at the altar! They agreed to get married and had a hell of a time at their wedding.
They recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary in November 2020. “Here’s to 2 years and a million more years together,” said the caption of Barnett’s Instagram post. The two frequently post pictures of their adventures together, including their most recent trip to Universal Studios Hollywood.
Are Kenny and Kelly From Love Is Blind Still Together?
Kelly and Kenny both have been posting from Georgia a lot, and they still follow each other on Instagram – but if you watched the finale, you’d know Kelly declined to marry Kenny at the altar. She seemed very sure in her decision and Kenny was respectful, but when confronted by production later, he was quite upset. The two seemed friendly during the finale, where Kenny revealed that he’s found love since the show, though Kelly has not. But they agreed that the show was transformative for them both, and neither regretted the experience.
Kenny now has a new fiancée, who he’s been engaged for nearly a year now. According to her social media, Kelly is still single and embarking on new ventures including her ChaseLife with Kelly podcast.
Are Mark and Jessica From Love Is Blind Still Together?
Who didn’t see this breakup coming? Jessica turned Mark down at the altar, leaving his mom to pick up the pieces. Though their time on the show was hard to watch, they’ve both said that they bear no ill will toward each other and wish nothing but happiness for the other.
The two are currently in new relationships. Jessica celebrated one year with her new boyfriend with a charming Instagram Reel of their moments together. Mark now has a fiancée and they share an adorable 2-month-old baby boy named Ace.
Are Lauren and Cameron From Love Is Blind Still Together?
We’re all happy to note that the show’s standout couple is still happily committed after they said “I do” in the finale. Lauren confirmed their status after the show aired, and during the reunion episode, they revealed tidbits about married life, including that their adorable fur baby is named Sparks, because “the sparks flew” when they met!
The two launched a book together titled Leap of Faith. The book shares the details of their love story and the advice they were given along the way to build a healthy marriage.
