Warning: Love Is Blind Season 6 spoilers ahead!
Love Is Blind Season 6 was by far the most talked-about season of the innovative dating show. In case you somehow haven’t heard about the series, Love Is Blind is a social experiment in which single men and women date each other from individual “pods.” Each date is done from behind a wall. If a couple has a strong connection, they get engaged, sight unseen.
All the engaged couples then go on a group honeymoon together. This leads to lots of drama, because there’s a high chance that any given pod member is on a group honeymoon with their fiancé and someone else they dated through a wall – who’s there with their new fiancé. Reality TV sure is wild. And we love it.
However, Love Is Blind contestants don’t just date each other. There have been several instances of Love Is Blind cast members dating reality stars from other shows after the season ends. Read below to find out which ones.
Love Is Blind’s Giannina Giabelli and Blake Horstman From Bachelor Nation
Giannina Gibelli from Love Is Blind Season 1 connected with Damian Powers in the pods, but the two had a boatload of issues, and Damian ended up saying “I don’t” at the altar. Yikes! The two went on to date some more after the show, but they did not stay together, partly due to drama that occurred at the LIB anniversary party (more on that later…)
Giannina then went on to star in MTV’s All Star Shore, which is where she met Blake Horstmann from Bachelor Nation. In late 2023, Giannina took to her Instagram to announce that she and Blake were expecting a child.
Fans are concerned for the couple because of rumors that Blake has an active account on a dating app. We hope for everyone’s’ sake that this does not mean the Bachelor Nation star is cheating, and that it simply means he didn’t deactivate the account but hasn’t been checking it. Hey, it happens!
Love Is Blind’s Stacy Snyder and Ryan Ignasiak From Married at First Sight
Stacy Snyder from Love Is Blind Season 5 is now dating Ryan Ignasiak from Married at First Sight. Houston woman Stacy recently posted an Instagram video showing her drinking with Ryan while watching and discussing Love Is Blind Season 6. In the caption, she explained that she and the MAFS alum were drinking every time anyone in LIB said the words “baby” or “connection.” Don’t try this at home, kids!
At the end of the caption, Stacy cheekily announced “Oh yeah and I’m dating [Ryan].” We love this for them, since both of the shows they were on are extremely similar, so this match makes sense to us. At least in MAFS they get to see their partners before they tie the knot!
Love Is Blind’s Damian Powers and Francesca Farago From Too Hot To Handle
We told you we would get back to this one! Yes, the same Damian Powers that left Giannina at the altar. Like we mentioned, Damian and Giannina got back together after the show, although they reported having issues. While they were working out their differences, the cast of LIB Season 1 had an anniversary party. There, Damian showed up with Francesca Farago from Too Hot to Handle Season 1. The tea was literally almost too hot for us to handle.
This was apparently Damian’s way of letting Giannina and everyone else know that he had a thing with the controversial THTH star, and Damian and Giannina ended things for good. Where on Earth do they find these men they cast for LIB? Just saying.
Damian and Francesca allegedly dated for a while and were seen in public together, according to several reports, such as this Instagram post by E News. However, they are no longer together, and Francesca is now engaged to influencer and activist Jesse Sullivan. Speaking of people who Francesca used to date…
Love Is Blind’s Jessica Vestel and Harry Jowsey From Too Hot To Handle and Dancing with the Stars
Jessica Vestal was spotted with Harry Jowsey from Too Hot to Handle season 1 in September 2023 in Mexico. Harry used to date Francesca, and Jessica of course was in a love triangle in Love Is Blind Season 6 with Jimmy Presnell and Chelsea Blackwell. In steamy photos published by The Reality Ashley, Jessica and Harry are seen getting close in Mexico.
Allegedly, Jessica and Harry were in Mexico while they were filming season 2 of another Netflix dating show, Perfect Match. That’s where the photos supposedly came from. Nothing has been confirmed about an existing romance between these two. But, Jessica has been spilling lots of tea on podcasts left and right, so we’re sure all shall be revealed soon. NDA? Don’t know her.
Love Is Blind Seasons 1-6 are available to stream on Netflix.
