The tenth season of Netflix’s Love Is Blind concluded on March 4, revealing which couples successfully navigated the experiment and said “I do.” This season, set in Ohio, saw a record number of engagements, but the path to the altar proved challenging for many. The finale delivered both heartwarming vows and heartbreaking rejections as the couples faced their ultimate test of commitment after a whirlwind romance built on emotional connection – without ever seeing each other face-to-face initially.
The season wasn’t without its drama, both on and off screen. Contestant Emma Betsinger, for example, spoke out about Netflix editing her promotional photos, appearing to blur out scarring on her arm. This sparked a conversation about representation and inclusivity, with viewers questioning the network’s decision to alter her image. Betsinger, who has been open about undergoing multiple surgeries to remove precancerous birthmarks, noted she was surprised by how much her health history became a focal point of the show, according to BuzzFeed.
But beyond the off-screen controversies, the central question remained: who made it down the aisle? Here’s a breakdown of the final outcomes for each couple.
The Couples Who Said “I Do”
Two couples ultimately chose to commit to marriage during the season finale. Christine Hamilton and Vic St. John exchanged vows in a joyous ceremony, with Vic’s sister even officiating. The couple’s families were fully supportive of their unconventional love story, marking a jubilant end to their journey. Amber Morrison and Jordan Faeth also said “I do,” despite some lingering concerns about Jordan’s reluctance to relocate. Amber, however, expressed her willingness to follow her heart and Jordan ultimately committed to their future together.
The Couples Who Said “No”
Not all of the engaged couples made it to the altar. Emma Betsinger and Mike Gibney’s wedding ended with Mike declining to marry Emma, citing concerns about her uncertainty regarding having children. Although Emma expressed a belief that they still had a future together, Mike felt he needed a partner who was “100%” sure about starting a family. Brittany Wicker and Devonta Anderson also did not obtain married. Devonta admitted to having doubts and feeling that Brittany was prepared to marry anyone, a sentiment fueled by her having already purchased a wedding dress. He explained his hesitation stemmed from “self-doubt,” while Brittany maintained her belief in their eventual union.
Ashley Carpenter and Alex Henderson experienced a particularly poignant ending. Ashley, anticipating Alex’s hesitation, took the initiative and chose herself at the altar, stating she knew he wouldn’t choose her and reciprocated his decision. She described their living situation as feeling more like cohabitation with a roommate than a romantic partnership.
Unexpected Turns and Revelations
The season also featured unexpected revelations. Brittany Wicker discovered, while watching the aired episodes, that Devonta Anderson had never previously dated a woman of color. “I felt it, and we had conversations offline about me feeling like I wasn’t his typical type. So I kind of knew [it] in the back of my head, but that was the first time I had actually heard the words said out of his mouth,” Brittany shared, according to USA Today. This discovery added another layer of complexity to their already strained relationship.
Bri McNees and Connor Spies had previously called off their engagement in Episode 11, with Bri expressing doubts about moving forward with the marriage.
What’s Next for the Love Is Blind Season 10 Couples?
While the weddings have concluded, the journeys of these couples are far from over. The season 10 reunion, scheduled to air on Netflix on Wednesday, March 11 at 9 p.m. ET, promises to provide further insight into the couples’ current status and address any lingering questions. Viewers can expect to spot updates on whether any of the couples who didn’t say “I do” are continuing their relationships, and to hear more from Emma Betsinger regarding the editing of her promotional photos. The reunion will likely offer a deeper dive into the complexities of the relationships formed within the pods and the challenges of transitioning those connections to the real world.
