It has been two years since Love Is Blind made its debut on Netflix. While two sets of castmates were able to find love and made their way down the aisle, the rest ultimately decided that matrimony was not for them (at least, not with anyone they met on set) and they went their separate ways.
With Season Two already underway, there is fresh hope for a new cast that they will find true love, much like fan favorites Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton did. And while fans doubted the relationship between Amber Pike and Matthew Barnett, the couple is still happily married as well.
Before fans become immersed in the lives of the couples on the new season of the reality show, many want to know what has happened to the cast of Season One since the season concluded.
Here is what happened to the Love Is Blind cast members who did not get engaged.
What Happened To The 'Love Is Blind' Exes?
Many fans expected Lauren Chamblin and Matt Barnett to get engaged on the show. However, it was not meant to be and Barnett wound up with Amber Pike and eventually went the distance with her instead.
Since not becoming one of the engaged couples on the show, Chamblin has started a podcast with her friend Tiffany Haynes called Permission To Enter. The podcast deals with everything from love, dating, relationships, self-help, and everything in between.
Chamblin also appears to have become a social media influencer since her time on the show. But as for relationships, Chamblin appears to be single.
There was also no love to be found while on the show for Aly Costa. But since that time, she appears to have found a special someone (who, hopefully, loves dogs).
Kay Nicole was another contestant who did not find her special someone on Love Is Blind. But this Navy vet has not slowed down since her days on reality television.
After leaving the show, Nicole not only graduated college, she also became a doctoral student.
Some Couples Weren't Covered On 'Love Is Blind'
Lexie Skipper and Westley Baer did find love on Love Is Blind. The couple engaged just 10 days into the process. But their fairytale was cut short when producers of the show told the couple they "didn't have the capacity to cover [their] relationship."
Skipper never got an explanation as to what happened, but the relationship fizzled out anyway, so maybe it was for the best?
Since the show, Skipper got to start a dream job in fashion as a personal stylist and personal shopper. She has been living her dream in Atlanta living the single life.
While Ebony Alexis did not find love on the show, since her attempt at finding love, she has become one busy woman in the aftermath as well.
According to Alexis' Instagram, she is not only a media journalist, but a make-up artist, and CEO of Justice Tees.
Another engagement that was not shown on camera was that between Danielle Drouin and Rory Newbrough. And just like Skipper and Baer, the couple was told that producers were not expecting there to be so many engagements. As such, their time on the show ended, and shortly after, so did their relationship.
The model did eventually find love, getting engaged in September 2021. And in January of this year, Drouin became a mother as well.
Various 'Love Is Blind' Cast Members Got Into Business
Briana Holmes has been spending her days working in the corporate world and also as a consultant helping businesses with their brand.
While Lillie Mae had a great time interacting and talking to the men in the pods, she reportedly never had a "romantic connection or chemistry sparks" with anyone.
Since that time, Mae has continued running her PR company and has written a book, Dear Singlepreneur, as well.
Some Exes Found Love After 'Love Is Blind'
Andy Rickert left Love Is Blind without love, but because of one of his castmates, that would not be the case for long. According to a February 2020 Instagram post, Drouin brought a friend along to dinner with some of the cast. Rickert and Kelsey started talking, and the rest is history.
Though the reality show did not go the way that Westley Baer thought it would, it did allow the former reality star to become quite the social media influencer.
Baer has also found love in his life, with his girlfriend, Brittany Caid.
As far as Ryan Martin, the last people knew of him, he was a bio-student at the University of North Georgia. Since the show, Martin has left social media and any other whereabouts are unknown.
Jon Smith was one of the older contestants on the show. And unfortunately, he did not find love, either. Like Ryan, after leaving the show, the Alaskan native has not been heard from and is not on social media.
As for Taylor Lupton, he appeared to have a connection with Jessica on the show but ultimately things did not pan out for him.
However, Lupton seems to have found love since being on the show and he and his girlfriend, Aimee McManus appear to be going strong, unlike Rory and his now-ex.
Though Rory Newbrough and Drouin did get engaged without the audience being aware, their relationship was short-lived as the couple called off their engagement just two weeks later.
Based on his Instagram page, Newbrough appears to be single and still working as a live streamer.
And finally, Matt Thomas was not one to find love on Love Is Blind. He, however is continuing with his work with his charity, Brawl For A Cause. Also, based on his Instagram, Thomas has found love with his girlfriend, Cassie.
Though the premise of the show may still be questionable, all the cast members had an interesting experience that for some, led to them finding true love or at least their true passions in life.
