Love Is Blind Season 1: Where Are They Now?

It has been almost two years since the first season of Love is Blind graced fans with its confusing yet entertaining premise, and even longer since it was filmed and the couples have known one another. To put that in perspective, fan-favorite couple Cameron and Lauren recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary.

With Love is Blind season 2 set to premiere sometime in early 2022, it’s a nice time to look back at all the main cast members from the inaugural season and see what they have been up to since the After the Altar special, both romantically and professionally.

Giannina Milady Gibelli

Giannina and Damian had one of the rockiest relationships on the show, with jaws dropping when he told her he didn’t want to get married once they were at the altar together. Surprisingly, the two decided that while it was too soon to tie the knot, they still wanted to date.

However, according to ET Online, despite them still being together when the After the Altar reunion special was filmed, Giannina is now officially single. She was last working as a small business owner, but since gaining fame from the show, has been working with various brands. She notably dyed her hair a striking darker hue. Giannina has some of the most Instagram followers among Love is Blind cast members.

 Matthew Barnett

Revealed in the reunion special, Matthew and Amber remain married and are still paying off her previous debt so they can move forward. While she wants to start a family, he is reluctant about when. The pair remain very much in love.

The pair recently marked their two-year wedding anniversary, according to Women’s Health. Barnett’s Instagram page links to a page that notes his gamer profile on Twitch, a link to book him on Cameo, and contact for business opportunities.

Amber Pike

Fans were reluctant about Matt’s decision to marry Amber. While he was doing well in his life with a solid job and owning a home, she was doing odd jobs and racked up a ton of debt. But that didn’t seem to faze him.

Amber served in the Army National Guard before joining the show, and after getting married, she was working in a restaurant a few days a week, according to Distractify. Amber noted before that she was going to school for a new job but didn’t reveal what it might be. The pair also mentioned wanting to start a dog daycare business.

Jessica Batten

Jessica Batten had one of the most tumultuous and controversial experiences on the show. She fell for two men, then when Matt picked Amber instead, she continued to express an infatuation with him. It’s one of the things Jessica from Love Is Blind will never live down. Meanwhile, she treated Mark poorly in viewers’ eyes and butted heads with Amber, who didn’t appreciate Amber trying to break her and Matt up.

Since the show finished, Jessica continued to work as a regional manager and got engaged to her boyfriend who she met via Instagram prior to the lockdown, according to US Weekly.

Lauren Speed

One-half of the poster couple for the perfect reality show pairing, Lauren and Cameron remain happily married and in love, as depicted on the reunion show. They have their own YouTube show called Hanging With the Hamiltons and she works as a rep for the Creative Artists Agency. She is also an author, actor, and filmmaker, according to her brand page, The Speed Brand.

Lauren charges for visual filming, photography, and video editing services. She also officially changed her name to Lauren Speed-Hamilton.

Damian Powers

Damian was initially a fan favorite on the series, but on the reunion show, he made some questionable decisions that fans didn’t like, including bringing a female friend to the reunion and all but ignoring Giannina, who he was supposedly still dating at the time.

While the pair have since broken up, Damian has shifted to working on his social media presence. According to RealityTitBit.com, he promotes brands like Hydroxycut, works with non-profits, and has a Cameo page.

Cameron Hamilton

As noted, Cameron and his bride from the show Lauren are still married and very much in love, even though an unpopular opinion about Love is Blind is that the pair are overrated. As they celebrated their third anniversary, according to People, they gushed over one another.

Along with their YouTube channel, he worked as a data science consultant for Well Cornell Medicine, according to Refinery29.com. His LinkedIn profile currently lists his occupation as the founder of Alliance AI, a company that provides “tailor-made AI solutions across all industries.”

Mark Cuevas

While Mark is one of a few cast members who didn’t show up to the reunion party, he was a subject of intense conversation. One of the biggest reveals from the Love is Blind After the Altar special was that Mark had a relationship after the show with LC. Mark told People that he is now focused on taking care of his new baby.

While he is working on his family, Mark also launched his own fitness app called Meta Training Athletics. He also has a podcast, according to his Instagram profile.

Kelly Chase

Kelly, at first, seemed to be in one of the relationships on the show with the most potential, with her and Kenny meeting their respective families and everyone getting along well. But there was still something missing between them that led Chase to decline his invitation for marriage.

She was at the reunion still happily single. She currently promotes herself on Instagram as an entrepreneur and podcast host and works as a health coach. Kelly never publicly discussed why things didn’t work out with Kenny, but there appears to be no hard feelings between them.

Kenny Barnes

Kenny was left heartbroken on the show when, after seemingly hitting it off with Kelly, had her decline to say “I do” at the altar. But he picked himself back up rather quickly and moved on. He brought his fiancé Alexandra to the reunion special and, according to US Magazine, they are still dating. The pair got engaged in August 2020.

He simply calls himself a “lighting guy” on Instagram. Indeed, his LinkedIn profile notes him working in specification sales for a lighting controls company in North Carolina.

Diamond Jack

Diamond was a big part of the reunion episode, with some of the footage following her continued search for love while going on a casual date with a friend of a friend. She ended up bringing him to the reunion, but things didn’t work out and Diamond leaned on her old girlfriends from the show for support.

It seems that Diamond, who had one of the most heated relationships on the show with Carlton after he shocked her by revealing his sexuality after they met in person, is still single. She continues to pursue her education towards earning a Ph.D. in optometry while also working as the chairperson of Charge Up Cares, an organization that supports cancer survivors and their caregivers.

Carlton Morton

Carlton only appeared briefly in the reunion special, at a café meeting with Lauren where the two got into a heated discussion as she tried to convince him to come to the party. Carlton was still hurt and upset about how things went down on the show and did not want to bring back those bad feelings and have to defend himself and his actions.

He was last known to be working as a celebrity assistant, according to Refinery29.com, who once worked for Cynthia Bailey of Real Housewives. It’s unclear what he does now as his Instagram profile only lists him as an entrepreneur and “opinionated Creole.”
