When the first season of Love Is Blindaired back in 2020, we’re sure most people watching were skeptics. After all, while the premise of meeting someone without seeing them is interesting, how well could they really get to know one another in the pods? Plus, wouldn’t looks become a factor whether or not they choose to delay it?
Well, as it turns out, season 1 couples Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton and Amber Pike and Matt Barnett proved all the skeptics wrong. Not only did these two couples have a connection since the very beginning, but meeting each other in person for the first time made for some magical moments and walking down the aisle by the finale was, impressively, a no-brainer.
Sure, not all seasons of the show have been that successful. Season 4 has three couples still together while season 2, sadly, made for no long-lasting duo. But, with a few successful marriages (and even some Love Is Blind babies!) over the years, we think the show has established that the experiment is indeed worth exploring.
Check out all the Love Is Blind couples who are still together today!
Lauren Speed-Hamilton & Cameron Hamilton
We couldn’t start this list with any couple besides Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton. The pair, who are season 1’s biggest success story, met on the pods, got engaged when they first met in person, and tied the knot by the end of the season. In 2023, they renewed their vows on their fifth wedding anniversary. “It feels like a flash,” Speed told People. “Even though I know for some people who’ve been married for 50 years, they’re like, ‘Five years? That’s nothing. That’s just the beginning.’ But we feel so blessed and we’re happy.”“Every day feels like I fall more and more in love with Cam, which I didn’t even know was possible,” she admitted. “So I’m just happy to be where we are now and for our growth and proud of us.”
Amber Pike & Matt Barnett
Another major season 1 success couple is Amber Pike and Matt Barnett. The two also got engaged and married onscreen and have been happily together ever since.
In October 2024, they announced in Lauren and Cameron’s podcast The Love Seat that they were expecting their first baby.
“I sent myself back to school because I felt like we were in a place where I could do that, like, I had the support and I was mentally there,” Amber said when asked for a life update. “Then, over summer break, he just went and knocked me up.”
Alexa Alfia & Brennon Lemieux
Skipping past season 2, season 3 had a few success stories too. Among the fan favorites were Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux, whose connection was undeniable from the moment they met.
In January 2024, they announced they were expecting their first baby. “The best of me and the best of you, baby Lemieux coming soon 🤍,” they wrote on Instagram.
Six months later, they welcomed their first daughter together. “Our perfect daughter, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, born July 31, 2024,” they wrote on Instagram. “She has mommy’s hair and daddy’s dimples and we couldn’t be more in love 🩷.”
Matt Bolton & Colleen Reed
Season 3 couples Matt Bolton and Colleen Reed had some ups and downs on the show, but there’s happy as ever now.
Currently, they’re enjoying married life and showing their appreciation for each other on social media.
“Matt, I met you in the most unexpected way and now I can’t imagine a life without you,” Reed wrote on Instagram. “We have gone through many challenges and I’m proud of much we learned from each hurdle that we have come across. A year and a half later and I continue to love you more and more each day.”
“You are my love, my person, my best friend, my chef, my dance partner, my world traveler, my movie buddy, my golfer, my lobster, my silly goose…my everything,” she continued. “Quoting myself, ‘Cheers to getting Litty as a Titty for the rest of lives!'”
Chelsea Griffin & Kwame Appiah
Moving on to season 4, fans of the show will be happy to hear that Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah are still together!
The two had some issues, but they ended up saying “I do” on the show that aired on Friday, April 14, 2023.
“The amount of stress you feel in deciding if you’re going to marry someone you met in an experience like this is.. A LOT,” Appiah said of the process on Instagram. “Unloading all of our baggage, combining all the different parts of our lives, hoping it makes logical sense as people who truly love each other. Its hard for people to understand. It takes a lot of strength, courage and vulnerability to make it through this, and you embody all of those traits so well. I couldn’t imagine going through this experiment with anyone else.”
They’ve been shring their lives in Seattle and globe-trotting all over the world ever since!
Tiffany Pennywell & Brett Brown
Another season 4 couple who is still together is Tiffany Pennywell and Brett Brown. These two were truly always meant to be.
In Nov. 2024, she even gushed about her husband on Instagram for his birthday.
“Spent the evening celebrating the man who somehow keeps getting better with age (teach me your ways!) lol! 38 has never looked so good, and I’m lucky to be along for the ride,” she wrote in the caption. “Here’s to more memories together—I love you endlessly! Happy Birthday babe!”
Bliss Poureetezadi & Zack Goytowski
Season 4 stroke luck once again with Bliss Poureetezadi and Zack Goytowski. While Goytowski didn’t initially chose Poureetezadi at first, they eventually worked it out and she gave him another chance. Luckily, that’s all they needed to know they were meant to be. In the finale, the two also tied the knot.
In Nov. 21, 2023, they announced they were expecting their first baby together.
“It’s a little bit nerve-wracking, but I think it’s also such a beautiful thing,” Poureetezadi told People. “Babies are miracles and blessings, and I think we’ve been so open to sharing our journey and our relationship with the world, and this is our next big beautiful thing. I’m really happy and I hope that it brings joy to other people. It’s definitely brought us a ton of joy.”
On April 26, 2024, they welcomed their daughter, Galileo.
“We are so in love with our precious, beautiful baby girl,” the couple told People after their birth. “We are forever changed and are so blessed to spend the rest of our lives loving her. She is our moon, our stars, the center of our universe.”
Lydia Gonzalez & James ‘Milton’ Johnson IV
Season 5’s only successful post-show couple is Lydia Gonzalez and James ‘Milton’ Johnson IV. The couple had a rocky journey on the show, with Gonzalez interested in other contenders and old flames coming to light, but they still made it down the aisle and said their “I do’s” in 2021.
“Every day with you feels like a new chapter in the best love story ever told,” Johnson wrote on Instagram close to their second wedding anniversary. “From navigating career changes and braving the challenges of graduate school to our playful debates about home decor, you’ve been my steadfast support and guiding star.”
“In my darkest hours, especially during the passing of my closest friend, your unwavering love became my solace,” he continued. “Your love and strength pulled me through the pain I experienced. You’ve created a space for me to be vulnerable, authentic, and unapologetically me. Every sunrise begins with you on my mind, and every sunset finds you there still. I fell in love without seeing you, and I’d take that leap of faith a million times over. You’re more than just my love; you’re my heart, my strength, my everything. I am so proud and eternally grateful to call you my wife. I love you, always and forever. 🤍”
Amy Cortés & Johnny McIntyre
Season 6’s happy couple and most obvious connection was Amy Cortés and Johnny McIntyre. Soon, they’ll be getting ready to celebrate their wedding anniversary in May 2025.
On their first anniversary, the pair reflected on how easy and fun life had been away from the cameras.
“I feel like it has not been a year, I feel like it’s been a month and a half,” McIntyre told People. “Time has been absolutely flying and it’s insane to think that’s already been a year. I don’t know, it just feels really good.”
“We’ve been enjoying our first year so much, traveling, seeing family,” Cortés added. “We’re enjoying every second of it, and it went by so fast. At the same time I feel like we’ve been together for ages in a weird way, if that makes sense.”
Garrett Josemans & Taylor Krause
Garrett Josemans and Taylor Krause are the latest couple to prove that Love Is Blind can really work. The couple met in season 7, got married in the finale, and have been gushing about each other ever since.
“On Nov 13, 2023, almost a year ago now, I married my person, and we’ve been inseparable ever since,” Josemans wrote in a tribute on Instagram in November 2024. “When I did my exit interview with my producer the next day, I was asked if I had anything else I wanted to say and I broke down in tears; tears of overwhelming gratitude for everything that had just happened to me over the past 6 weeks.”
“I fell in love with Taylor in the pods for her humor and intellect, then I quickly found myself enamored by her looks, playfulness, and our partnership in the real world,” he continued. “Every day with Taylor is the best day of my life. We never would have met in the real world and even if we had, it never would’ve worked. And for that, I’m forever grateful to @loveisblindnetflix for bringing us together and giving us a chance to fall in love before our pragmatic brains decided it’d never work. Because here we are making it work every day, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.” How sweet is that?
