Picture: COURTESY OF NETFLIX
Season 9 of Netflix’s Love Is Blind made historical past in that it was, effectively, a complete failure: the collection’ first “experiment” to finish in precisely zero marriages. That’s proper, not one of the {couples} who obtained engaged within the pods in the course of the early episodes of the season stayed collectively lengthy sufficient to legally commit to one another for eternity. This made for an fascinating reunion final evening: Hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey couldn’t ask anybody about their joyful relationships and as an alternative have been pressured to dwell on what went fallacious and what contestants are nonetheless stewing over one and a half years later. (Filming for this season wrapped all the best way again in Might 2024.)
Nonetheless, the reunion supplied some stunning updates concerning the solid. Right here’s the whole lot it is advisable learn about the place these fledgling Denver influencers stand at this time.
Throughout filming, Megan Walerius — higher recognized by her self-styled nickname, “Sparkle Megan” — obtained engaged to Jordan Keltner. In the end, the pair didn’t make it down the aisle as Megan broke issues off resulting from “way of life variations.” (Megan is a high-powered businesswoman; Jordan is a service supervisor and single dad.)
Megan expressed some hesitation about beginning a household in the course of the season, however fortunately for her, she shortly determined to maneuver ahead as soon as filming wrapped. On the reunion, she revealed that she is now a mother to a 2-month-old boy named Brooks. The dad? A pleasant-looking bald man named Paul, who was seated within the viewers. Megan defined that she began relationship Paul in July 2024 and obtained pregnant three months later, and he or she managed to cover her being pregnant from the remainder of the solid (and the press, who solely caught wind of her new bundle of pleasure this month). Everybody on the reunion gave the impression to be shocked by the revelation, apart from Jordan — Megan graciously gave him a heads-up about this new replace in her life.
One of many hardest relationships to look at unfold this season was between Joe Ferrucci and Madison Maidenberg. After the 2 obtained engaged, Joe shortly revealed that Madison was not his “common sort” (“skinny” and “petite”). The 2 known as issues off earlier than the weddings and went their separate methods.
On the reunion, nevertheless, Joe acknowledged that he began relationship Kacie McIntosh, one other contestant, after filming wrapped. The 2 have been collectively for a few month and a half earlier than Joe began relationship yet one more girl, Averee Madison, who was not on the present however acquainted to some others within the solid. (She’s been speaking on podcasts about how Kacie nonetheless needs her man.)
Madison appears to be advantageous and pleasant with Averee, however not a lot Kacie. In the course of the reunion, she claimed that in an all-cast pool get together final summer time, Kacie “had the audacity to inform me we’re Eskimo sisters.” Yikes!
A humorous postseason story line was Kacie’s insistence on holding her engagement ring from Patrick Suzuki. The 2 obtained engaged within the pods however shortly broke up (in a dramatic and complicated trend, in fact). On Love Is Blind, manufacturing supplies the engagement rings, and creator Chris Coelen has mentioned that the solid is free to maintain them no matter in the event that they keep collectively or not. On this occasion, Patrick requested Kacie for the ring again after they broke up, and he or she declined.
The 2 rehashed all of their post-filming texts and meetups on the reunion, and Kacie in the end determined to offer the ring again to Patrick onstage. However then, the Lacheys introduced out Chris Paul of the L.A. Clippers (?) to host a shoot-out between the 2 former fiancés. Kacie ended up profitable, and thus, she obtained the ring again once more earlier than the reunion was over. Okay! Personally, I’d like to know what these baubles are going for on the resale market.
