When “Love Is Blind” made its debut on Netflix in 2020, the series introduced a completely new way for people to find love, without all the rules of usual dating. On the show, the single contestants begin dating individuals through a wall, unable to see what the person on the other side looks like. Throughout the process, they can’t meet until they get engaged. Those who do then come face to face, move in together and decide whether they want to go through with their commitment.
In 2022, Season 2 participant Jeremy Hartwell sued Netflix and production company Kinetic Content, citing “inhumane working conditions.” A year later, Season 2’s Nick Thompson and Danielle Ruhl alleged a lack of mental health support in a report by Insider.
While Kinetic Content has broadly denied the allegations from both the lawsuit and the report, its CEO Chris Coelen is exclusively responding in detail for the first time to Variety,...

"Love Is Blind" season two didn't spare an ounce of drama with all its makeups, breakups, and everything else in between. "After the Altar," which premiered Sept. 16, tried to tie up all the loose ends from the season. Still, since the reunion special filmed in March, three of the show's last remaining couples have broken up - which, unfortunately, includes Kyle Abrams and Deepti Vempati.

"It's kind of hard to relive all of the same things [again]."

Throughout the season, they each navigated separate relationships, hoping they would end in marriage.
Unfortunately, by the reunion episode, both Kyle and Deepti found themselves single and heartbroken that they couldn’t make the connections they had in the pods last in the real world.
However, in an unexpected twist, Kyle announced that his biggest regret during filming was that he didn’t pursue Deepti – a bond he felt was special and deserved more attention.
Since then, the two have been spending lots of time together and trying to see if the spark they felt in the pods could survive once the cameras were gone.

On Love Is Blind Season 2, cast members Deepti Vempati and Kyle Abrams found “love” (or what they thought was love) while “dating” in the pods, but not with each other — and with disastrous results. Thankfully, they did come out of Love Is Blind with something far more valuable: a true friendship. And according to the newly-released reunion series Love Is Blind: After the Altar, that friendship slowly developed into a flirtation, and now has maybe possibly (hopefully) developed into more for the adorable reality TV people. But we’ll have to wait just a bit longer to find out. Love Is Blind: After the Altar tracks the cast members’ post-show lives. As the logline from Netflix reads, “After the experiment, reality comes into focus. What happened to the couples and singles from Love Is Blind Season 2 after the weddings? Love is truly blind, but is the future blurry?” The three-episode...

"Love Is Blind: After the Altar" returned on Sept. 16 to gather all our favorite season two castmates for an epic reunion. However, one face was noticeably absent from the three-part special: Shake Chatterjee.

"If he's going, I'm not going," Thompson says during "After the Altar."
As many fans remember, Chatterjee made quite the impression during his season when he managed to piss off most of his fellow castmates (mainly the women), ex-fiancée Deepti Vempati, and even hosts Vanessa and Nick Lachey - whom he notably got into a heated exchange with during the season two reunion and on social media.

When "Love Is Blind" contestant Kyle Abrams dubbed the season two reunion a "train wreck" on Instagram, fans could tell they were in for a bumpy ride. The explosive reunion special featured updates from the cast, including the two couples who exchanged "I dos" during the season finale, as well as a fiery rant from Shake Chatterjee regarding his views on physical attraction and how he believes love is "blurry," not blind.
While fans only had to wait one week after the weddings to catch up with their favorite season two couples, the cast had a lot longer to reflect on everything that went down both in and outside of the pods. "Love Is Blind" season two filmed in spring 2021, however, during the reunion special, hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey made a point to congratulate married couples Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson and Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones on their upcoming one-year wedding anniversaries.

Looks like Deepti Vempati may have found love in the pods after all! Just because Deepti's time on Love Is Blind season two didn't end with an "I do"—and she arguably had the roughest season of all the contestants—doesn't mean she didn't find her match. During the reunion on March 4, Kyle Abrams revealed that his "biggest regret" from the show was not proposing to the 31-year-old data analyst. And now, in an E! News exclusive interview, Deepti opened up about where she and Kyle stand. Though the pair didn't choose each other in the pods, Deepti thinks that things are working out the way they were meant to. "I actually have...

The “Love Is Blind” cast is getting back together. On Friday, March 4, Netflix will debut season 2 the reunion special, during which some of the contestants will reunite to look back at their time on the show and share where they stand with their partner now.

Five of the couples made it to the altar. Hurley, who made a connection with Jansen in the pods, called things off with Abrams shortly after they met in person.
Two other couples also got engaged in the pods — Jason Beaumont and Kara Williams, and Joey Miller and Caitlin McKee — but cameras didn’t follow their journeys due to time and resource constraints.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched the first nine episodes of “Love Is Blind” Season 2, streaming now on Netflix.
Is love really blind? That’s the question Season 2 of the Netflix hit series asks in every episode — but fans have many others. The series began with 15 men getting to know 15 women from separate pods, unable to see one another.
Over the course of 10 days, they casually date and if they want to meet face to face, they must first get engaged. During Season 1, which aired in 2020, eight couples got engaged, but only six of those were aired, and one duo, Diamond Jack and Carlton Morton, split shortly after meeting.
Season 2’s first five episodes dropped on Feb. 11, followed by the second four on Feb. 18. They also showed six engagements while there were actually eight. Just like Season 1, one couple, Shaina Hurley and Kyle Abrams, called it...
