Matt Barnett and Amber Barnett wed on Season 1 of Love Is Blind, and although their relationship was eventually successful, it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Initially, Matt developed feelings for Amber and another contestant (Jessica Batten). Amber also revealed she had some significant financial debt. But despite some doubts at the beginning, Matt ultimately realized his future lay with Amber and proposed.Life after the show has been relatively routine for the couple. They regularly share their life on Instagram and some sponsored content. However, despite meeting on the show and their successful marriage, the couple has been outspoken against the Love Is Blind show.Matt revealed toEntertainment Tonightin 2020, “The cameras were a little bit overwhelming…I was just done with it sometimes.” He continued that marriage was, at first, not easy, “We fought, and we fought for each other a lot.”In a post shared on Amber’s Instagram in April 2023, a fan asked which contestants they were rooting for on Season 4 of Love Is Blind; Amber responded, “We don’t watch LIB…We are together IN SPITE of that show not because of it” (perEntertainment Tonight).Matt and Amber rarely do interviews. However, they made an exception to appear on Cameron and Lauren’s podcast, “The Love Seat,” in October 2024. Matt and Amber shared during their chat that they were expecting their first child together.

Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton, another Season 3 couple, had a rocky start to their love story. Despite being in love, the two often fought, questioning whether love was enough.The couple opened up toPeoplein November 2022 about their uncertainty leading up to the wedding. Ultimately, the duo believed they had enough potential to make it work. Colleen stated, “We knew that we had these immense feelings for each other, but marriage is a very serious thing, and we’re not taking this lightly…as soon as I saw him crying and snorting down the aisle, I knew that that was my person.”While most married couples move in together, Colleen and Matt choose to retain their individual properties for the first two years of their marriage. Colleen playfully announced they were finally living together onInstagram, captioning a photo with “Honey, I’m home” in June 2023.Matt and Colleen’s post-LIB life is fairly typical. Both couples regularly post on their respective Instagram accounts, sharing sweet snippets of their life together.

Season 4 contestants Kwame Appiah and Chelsea Griffin Appiah’s relationship seemed uncertain initially. At first, Kwame became embroiled in a love triangle as he developed feelings for Chelsea and Micah Lussier. He was devastated when Micah broke things off with him to pursue a relationship with another contestant. However, Kwame quickly realized that Chelsea was the one for him.The couple encountered another obstacle when Kwame’s mother was not very supportive of his engagement. Despite Kwame’s close relationship with his mother, she refused to meet Chelsea or attend the couple’s wedding. However, Chelsea has since met the matriarch and toldPeoplein April 2023, “It was a beautiful first experience [but] there’s room to grow.”Currently, the couple seem to be embracing their roles as influencers, posting regular, often sponsored, content to Instagram — much of which features adorable photos and videos of the pair.Like many couples, Kwame and Chelsea are plagued with questions about when they will expand their family. In September 2024, the couple shared a pointed video onInstagramresponding to the question, captioned, “When the time is right. For now, we are enjoying each other and growing in our marriage…Every couple has their own timeline and desires, and that’s more than okay!” =

Being in love rocks! And rocks (yes, actual rocks) are one of the things that Lydia Velez Gonzalez and Milton Johnson bonded over during their time in the pods on Season 5 of LIB; Lydia is a geologist, and Milton works as an engineer in the oil and energy industry. While Lydia was initially involved in a love triangle with two other contestants (Izzy Zapata and Stacy Snyder), she was hesitant about embarking on a relationship with Milton because she was seven years older than him.Nevertheless, the duo had an instant connection that just worked. Speaking toUs Weeklyin September 2023, Milton explained, “It really just comes down to [that] our values were the same…We had the same morals…we wanted the same things out of life.”Those shared morals and values led the couple down the aisle and into a successful marriage. Since Season 5 of LIB aired, Lydia and Milton celebrated their second wedding anniversary in May 2024. Lydia shared a sweet snap of the two onInstagram, captioned, “I love you more deeply with every passing second… Let’s continue to prove that love is truly blind.”Milton is also completing his second master’s degree, which will be completed in 2025 (perPeople, 2024).

Season 7 couple Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis did not have it easy. They had to overcome a game-changing bombshell before saying, “I do.”After getting engaged, Ashley learned that Tyler had already fathered three children (as a donor to help a friend) — finding out only two weeks before the couple were due to get married. Unsurprisingly, Ashley was distraught and seriously reconsidered her decision to marry Tyler.In November 2024, Ashley spoke to Nick Viall on his podcast,The Viall Files. She recalled that Tyler revealed his biological children to her when the cameras weren’t rolling. She explained that Tyler was concerned about losing her, so he kept the information from her despite discussing children multiple times during their pod dates.Eventually, the couple overcame this challenge and wed on the season finale. In October 2024, Tyler shared several photos of the couple to commemorate their first anniversary, ending theInstagrampost’s caption with, “I love you, Ashley, more than words can say. This isn’t for anyone to understand but us.”

Despite texting back exes and concerns over ethnicity, Season 7 couple Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans married in November 2023.During their pod dates, Taylor and Garrett (both scientists) formed an instant connection and bonded over matching chemistry-inspired tattoos. Speaking toElite Dailyin 2024, Taylor revealed Garrett was her choice from day one. However, she also mentioned that Garrett’s method was much more methodical — the scientist in him had him keeping a notebook!Taylor purposely chose to conceal her ethnicity because she felt it was important to test whether love is truly blind, and she “just wanted to take ethnicity out the equation” (perUs Weekly, 2023).After the engagement, Garrett mishandled a situation involving an ex-girlfriend who texted him. He told Taylor he hadn’t responded to the message beyond liking it. However, Taylor later overheard him speaking about the incident to others and found out he had sent a message wishing the woman well but explaining he was now engaged. The incident left Taylor reeling and hurt.Ultimately, the couple overcame the small speedbump and wed on November 13, 2023 — the same day as Garret and Taylor’s parents’ anniversaries.After one year of marriage, the couple regularly posts photos of each other on Instagram with sweet captions, demonstrating that they are still happily together.

Lessons We Can Learn from “Love Is Blind” CouplesReality television and successful marriages are often seen as a contradiction — relationships from dating shows don’t last.

However, Love Is Blind US has the highest success rate, with 33% of couples remaining married.Given most reality television couples‘ typically low success rates, audiences are dying to know the LIB secrets to a happy marriage.

All of the still-married couples from LIB credit communication as the foundation of their marriages and the secrets to remaining happily wed.

For example, Lauren revealed during their 2023 appearance on the Tamron Hall Show, “It was all about conversation, and we just kind of kept that going throughout our marriage, being vulnerable with each other, telling the truth.”

Alexa echoed those sentiments to People in 2023, “It really is just restructuring how you say things and how you go about it.” Brennon added, “Being able to talk about it, being able to voice your opinion or voice your feelings and know the other person is going to listen to you… that’s what we’ve been doing better.”
