Although only a small fraction of Netflix’s Love is Blind couples make it to the altar, fans have questioned whether the weddings are real and legally binding.
The reality show—which has spawned multiple seasons and eight international adaptions—follows a group of singles who date sight unseen.
While on these dates, the contestants are in pods, which are basically rooms that allow them to talk to their date without being able to see their potential companion. If the contestants form a strong connection, they will get engaged and can date each other in person outside of the pods.
At the end of the experiment, those contestants will attend their own weddings and decide whether they want to marry their partner… at the altar.
Are the Love Is Blind weddings legally binding?
Most people know that some reality TV weddings aren’t legally binding (we’re looking at you, MAFS!), so it’s not surprising that the question has been raised about Love Is Blind.
However, Netflix has confirmed that the Love Is Blind weddings are legit.
“If they choose to get married, yes, it’s a legally binding marriage,” producer Chris Coelen told Bustle.
Which Love Is Blind couples got married?
Love Is Blind Season 7 is currently airing on Netflix. In the first six seasons, eleven couples got legally married. Approximately 30 singles take part in each season.
Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton and Amber Pike and Matthew Barnett from Season 1 got married in 2018 and are still together.
Season 2 had a lower success rate as Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones and Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson got married, but both couples broke up shortly after.
Since then, participants Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux, Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton, Tiffany Pennywell and Brett Brown, Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi, Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah, and Lydia Gonzalez and James “Milton” Johnson IV have tied the knot. All six of those couples are still legally married.
Whether there will be any newlyweds from Love Is Blind Season 7 is still to be determined, but things aren’t looking promising!
