The Love Is Blind successful couples are an exclusive bunch. Netflix’s kooky, addictive reality show is many things—a social experiment, a dating show, a highly engineered drama factory—but it does actually lead to lasting relationships for some.

Whether you believe that love is blind or not, there’s no doubt that this twist on The Dating Game is hard to stop watching. We love shows like Love Is Blind for a reason. (And yes, the hit series is coming back for season 3!) For the unfamiliar, single men and women talk to each other from isolation pods without seeing each other until they agree to get engaged, at which point they can actually start dating and meet each other’s families. But anyone who knows the stress of wedding planning can guess what happens from there: fighting, tears, and breakups. So much goes on that sometimes whole other proposals happen we don’t even see onscreen.

Despite the many love triangles and surprises, and the downright bizarre nature of the show, some people do form genuine connections, and the Love Is Blind successful couples may just stand the test of time.

Lauren Speed, a former contestant (player? participant?), had this piece of advice for Love Is Blind couples: “When it was time for me to decide if I wanted to get married on #loveisBlind I struggled. I wanted to really make sure I got married because I could see forever with Cam. Not from production pressures or wanting fame. I wasn’t about to get legally married just for television. Because once those cameras leave and it’s just you and that person living and creating a life together…fame can’t save you. And who wants to be trapped in an empty marriage that’s hell! I really think this worked for us because it was genuinely 2 people not only finding love…But really falling IN LOVE with each other in the most unexpected way! Wishing the best for everyone in #loveisblind2 whether you decided to marry or stay single I hope that it brings you all closer to the happiness you all deserve! Without settling in any way.” Her marriage seems to be going just fine, so maybe it works!

If you think you might find your One True Love in Netflix’s pods, be sure you know the stats before you call up Love Is Blind casting. Because while most of the pairings don’t make it to their honeymoon, you can never say never. Love Is Blind season 2 was a wild ride, and we can only imagine that Love Is Blind season 3 will be even more of a roller coaster.

Here’s where the Love Is Blind successful couples (so, anyone who got engaged onscreen) are now. Consider this your Love Is Blind After the Altar…after that.

Netflix

Season: One

Their story: Lauren and Cameron are proof that, while the success rate on dating shows is low at best, true love is possible. Lauren and Cameron connected instantly in the pods, and then got engaged and married on the show. The couple became fan favorites as well as proof that Netflix’s great experiment can work.

Their fate: They’re still together! They have a YouTube Channel called Hanging With the Hamiltons, and they wrote a book together titled Leap of Faith: Finding Love the Modern Way, which came out in 2021.

Netflix

Season: One

Their story: Amber and Matt are another example of Netflix’s great, weird experiment working. The couple connected hard and fast while in the pods, and their transition to real life after was mostly seamless. Their only obstacle was something of a love triangle with Jessica, who didn’t give up on chasing Matt even after he got engaged to Amber.

Their fate: Still together! Despite their differences, the couple remain happily married. At the Love Is Blind season reunion, the couple shared that they considered getting a divorce at one point because they struggled adjusting to their life and relationship off-camera; however, they’ve clearly made it work.

Netflix

Season: One

Their story: Drama! After getting engaged on the show, Carlton told Diamond that he was bisexual. She expressed her discomfort, and he retaliated with derogatory comments about her. It all led to an explosive fight during their trip to Mexico.

Their fate: He apologized, and they apparently keep in touch. But no chance they’re getting back together.

Netflix

Season: One

Their story: This polarizing couple connected in the pods and got engaged. Following several blow-up fights ahead of their wedding day, Damian said no at the altar. “I stayed consistent all the way through this and you have not,” he said.

Their fate: The couple had an on-again, off-again thing after filming the show, but they are very much not together now. The chaotic couple officially called things off in 2021. As of January 2022, Giannina is dating Blake Horstmann from The Bachelor, whom she met while filming a competition series for Paramount+.

Netflix

Season: One

Their story: Jessica got engaged to Mark even though her true feelings were for Matt, who was engaged to Amber. Jessica seemed hesitant about Mark every step of the way on the show; however, she remained committed to the experiment and went all the way to the wedding ceremony. There, the couple ultimately said “I don’t.”

Their fate: It seemed Jessica might have dodged a bullet after allegations of Mark being a cheater surfaced following the show’s premiere. Regardless, both have since moved on: Mark now has two children and a new relationship, and Jessica is engaged again as well.

Instagram

Season: One

Their story: Because of the show’s rules, the pair had to say they were getting married just to keep dating. However, they had an understanding that they weren’t actually going to get married but would keep exploring their feelings after the show. “I thought that we were going to continue dating, because that was communicated between us,” Kelly told People. “And then it was our last filming day, and he had a conversation with me like, ‘Hey, I think I am not emotionally available right now. I need to take some time apart from you.’ I felt very rejected, like, ‘That wasn’t the plan. What the heck?’” She says she wrote him a letter, but he never responded.

Their fate: Not together. Kelly now has a podcast, ChaseLife With Kelly, on which she’s open about self-love and chasing a happy, healthy life. Barnes is now engaged to someone else.

Netflix

Season: Two

Their story: Shake claimed that he loved Deepti…but wasn’t attracted to her. They didn’t have third-wheel drama like other couples, but Shake never made Deepti feel special. So it was a satisfying ending to their relationship when Deepti decided to choose herself and said “no” at the altar.

Their fate: Yeah, not together. We’re gonna go ahead and file “Deepti and Shake” under “How to Spot a Red Flag 101.” At the reunion Shake only doubled down on his troubling superficial views about relationships, and it seems unlikely they’ll stay friends. We can’t imagine Deepti will stay single long—Kyle even announced at the reunion that he had made a mistake choosing Shaina over her.

Netflix

Season: Two

Their story: These two had an instant connection, but lingering issues from Danielle’s past proved a challenge. Still, Nick stood by her the whole time. The two got married in the finale.

Their fate: Nick and Danielle are not together. At the season-two reunion, they revealed that their relationship became a lot easier once the pressure of being on the show was gone. However, on August 21, TMZ reported that Danielle filed for divorce from Nick.

Netflix

Season: Two

Their story: Shayne, Shaina, and Natalie got caught up in a love triangle while in the pods, but it was Shayne and Natalie who got engaged. All seemed well until Shayne and Natalie had a big fight the night before the wedding ceremony. Entertainment Tonight reports that Shayne got “really, really angry” with Natalie, telling her that he “hated” her and that she was “the worst thing” to happen to him. Whatever happened that night, it convinced Natalie to say no at the altar.

Their fate: At the reunion Natalie revealed that she and Shayne dated for a while after the show ended; however, she says she was ultimately unable to move past their big fight. In July 2022, she was linked to Bachelorette alum Blake Moynes after the two were seen vacationing together.

Netflix

Season: Two

Their story: Mallory and Sal proved that maybe love isn’t so blind after all. After connecting in the pods, Mallory wasn’t sure she was attracted to Sal once they met face-to-face. As they spent more time together, things seemed to be going pretty smoothly. Ultimately, he called off the wedding.

Their fate: Not together. Their conversation after the wedding seemed to leave the door open for a future relationship, but Mallory revealed at the reunion that they only met for one coffee before deciding the connection was no longer there.

Netflix

Season: Two

Their story: Iyanna was Jarrette’s second choice after Mallory turned down his proposal, so these two naturally had some things to work on in their relationship…but they did keep moving forward with every episode. Consider them proof that first impressions aren’t always the most accurate, and it may be worth taking a second look at someone you’re only lukewarm about. You never know what might develop. Iyanna and Jarrette both said “I do” in the finale!

Their fate: They were together—until they weren’t. At the season-two reunion, they revealed that they were still married and working on finding a better balance in their relationship now that the show was over. But by August 2022 the couple announced on Instagram that they decided to divorce. “After much thought, we’re saddened to share that we have separated and will begin the process of divorcing,” their message read. “While we have love for each other, our lives are going in different directions, and that’s okay. Coming to this decision was far from easy and we will always wish each other the absolute best.”

Netflix

Season: Two

Their story: Shaina and Kyle seemed into each other but had little in common. Most notably, Kyle is an atheist and Shaina is a devout Christian. Kyle seemed willing to work it out, but Shaina pulled the plug in the sixth episode. They didn’t even make it to the wedding ceremonies.

Their fate: Seems like there’s not a ton of bad blood, but we don’t expect these two to become besties any time soon.
