Baby Love
‘Love Is Blind’ Season 1 Couple Amber Pike & Matt Barnett Expecting First Child
From the pods to the nursery! Love Is Blind stars Amber Pike and Matt Barnett are expecting their first child. The couple, who met and fell in love during the first season of the Netflix reality series, announced Amber’s pregnancy on October 8.
Amber and Matt were guests on the first episode of fellow Love Is Blind alums Lauren and Cameron Hamilton‘s The Love Seat podcast. Amber was giving a life update when she dropped the baby news. “I sent myself back to school because I felt like we were in a place where I could do that, like, I had the support and I was mentally there. Then, over summer break, he [Matt] just went and knocked me up.”
Lauren cheered over the impending arrival of baby Barnett. “It might have been during Cam’s birthday party — it might have already been,” Amber said. “So little baby B might come out ready to throw down with us.” Cameron noted that he’s “ready to be an uncle.”
The couple, who did not disclose a due date, also shared an Instagram video full of relationship memories through the years. At the end of the video, Amber could be seen cradling her baby bump next to Matt during their appearance on Lauren and Cameron’s podcast. “Where it started. Where we’ve been. Where we’re at…” the couple captioned their post.
Amber and Matt’s relationship started in 2018 when Love Is Blind Season 1 was filmed. The season didn’t air until 2020, well after they were married. The couple got engaged and married by the end of the season. They will be celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary in November 2024.
“I love you more today than I did then, not because our love is perfect(or ‘blind’), but because our eyes are wide open and our love is deliberate and intentional,” Amber wrote to Matt in honor of their anniversary last year.
