‘Love Is Blind’ Season 7 Relationship Updates: Who Is Still Together & Who Broke Up?
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Episodes 1-13 of Love Is Blind Season 7.]
The pods opened and closed with just enough time in between for another round of drama, awkwardness, and love at first sound to take place. This time, the experience touched down in D.C., and some interesting players entered the pods. Going into Season 7, Love Is Blind truly has the formula down.
The first six episodes showed the initial pod connection and the getaway to Mexico, or at least for most. Relationships were formed, and many got engaged, leading to the moment when they got to see their love for the first time. For some, the transition unlocked a new door into the world of intimacy, while others struggled.
The first few weeks back home in D.C. brought a whole new set of issues. Morals, ethics, and politics were brought up, but some intense revelations were made as well. Tyler is a sperm donor, and Stephen did some non-kosher things while at a sleep test.
With more couples realizing that they are incompatible, this season of Love Is Blind should be renamed Splitsville because many didn’t even make it to the altar.
Only two couples ended up going through with the wedding ceremony, and both of them actually got married. For once, no one was brutally dumped in front of their loved ones.
However, when the reunion came around, the claws came out. Hannah tried to undermine Nick’s intention of going on the show. He might not have become the most famous Love Is Blind contestant, but he, for sure, is one of the most-liked personas of this season.
That’s not where the drama ended, as Ramses Prashad had some more unkind words to say about Marissa George before he clarified the contraception talk. We still don’t know much more about Tyler Francis’ biological kids fiasco. But, hey, at least, Leo Braudy redeemed himself as he seems to be a pretty nice dude.
So, which two couples made it? Here’s a full breakdown of the Love Is Blind Season 7 relationships.
Ashley and Tyler
Status: Married
Ashley and Tyler seemed perfect for one another in the pods. In the beginning, both were insisting that they were going to get married, and this didn’t feel hard to believe.
But the tide turned in the middle of the season when a major secret was revealed. Ashley found out that Tyler was a donor dad to one of his best friends. Although this was a nice thing to do, he should’ve disclosed it in the pods. Tyler’s version also differs from the mother of the children, who claimed that he’s more than just a donor dad. Prior to that point, Tyler constantly talked about wanting kids, yet he had never mentioned it to Ashley. At the reunion it was revealed that the couple had spoken about the kids without the camera’s present, making the conversation the audience witnessed staged.
This made Ashley unsure about their potential union. The deception could’ve thrown a wrench in their plan, but they ended up deciding to give it a go.
Never running out of things to talk about, the duo stimulated each other intellectually and physically. Ashley was even quick to mention, “I love Tyler. Like, I told him last night, even if he weren’t my type, I would have tried to make it work. But I mean, the outside doesn’t hurt, you know?” Tyler, on his end, returned that same sentiment.
In Episode 11, they went skydiving, a lifelong dream of Ashley’s she wanted to accomplish before her wedding. They said “I do” in Episode 12 in front of their friends and family.
Ashley and Tyler have been married for over a year now and called their relationship a “once in a lifetime kind of love.” They have started their own holiday traditions, like making an ornament a year.
Taylor and Garrett
Status: Married
Taylor and Garrett were the first couple to officially get engaged in Season 7, and they were the last to get married.
In the beginning, the science duo was flirting in an undecipherable language, at least to us common folks over here, and bonded over similar tattoos: a hydrogen symbol on Taylor’s wrist, and a quantum equation on the back of Garrett’s arm.
Since their introduction, the couple was inseparable. Seemingly never that into other people, Taylor and Garrett connected on all levels.
Garrett believed that he would’ve never had the courage to go up to Taylor if they hadn’t met in this setting. “I would have been like, this person is too good for me,” he said. “I can’t get anywhere near that. This country bumpkin from Fredericksburg, Virginia,” which made Taylor chuckle.
Having had a good run, Taylor and Garrett only ever encountered one issue. Garrett’s ex reached out to him, and he replied to her. Although he stated that he was in a happy relationship, he did not tell Taylor straight away about this exchange with his ex.
Taylor, who has been cheated on before, wasn’t happy by this revelation, especially as Garrett first told her that he had just liked the message. They were able to work through this and are now lawfully wedded spouses.
The married couple has traveled around the world, showing snapshots of their time in London, Amsterdam, and more at the Love Is Blind reunion. With tons of corny jokes from Nick Lachey about the new and improved Garrett being “Taylor’s version,” the two showed that they are still happy and very much in love.
Taylor even mentioned that she has found her home in Garrett, therefore making it okay to stay closer to his family in Virginia.
Marissa and Ramses
Status: Split
After one of the healthiest love triangles on Love Is Blind yet, Ramses Prashad and Marissa George came out on the other side unscathed — for a time.
Debating between going for fellow former military man Bohdan Olinares and Ramses, Marissa’s heart chose Ramses.
For a while, it seemed like she made the right decision, because even during difficult conversations, the two were able to work through it and hear each other out.
Yet, things took a turn as Ramses started to have doubts about whether he wanted to get married again. Having gone through a divorce before, he wanted to make his next union his last. In the middle of a tough conversation, Ramses dropped the question, “Is your energy going to be too much for me?”
The couple decided to break up during that conversation. They never even made it to the altar. While embracing each other Marissa started to sob as Ramses apologized over and over again.
Note: Ramses and Marissa’s in-person chemistry had been off the charts from the start. But, Ramses’ need for intimacy was unparalleled, as he even craved to talk about their “lack” of it when Marissa was feeling under the weather. That was a red flag.
Hannah and Nick
Status: Split
Hannah Jiles and Nick Dorka were bound to be one of the more dramatic couples from the get-go. Within the first set of episodes, Hannah breaks up with Nick, begs him to take her back, and then still gets engaged to him.
The viewer didn’t really see their early dynamic play out in the pods. So, it wasn’t a huge shock when their Mexico getaway took a turn when Hannah got the ick from his duck race.
Their relationship went smoothly for about two seconds before the two incompatible lovers ended up breaking off their engagement.
With her notebook in hand, she told Nick what concerned her about him, “Respect, delusional, social awareness… maturity, and confidence versus ego.” This obviously upset Nick as he called his then-fiancée “demeaning.”
Within that same conversation, the two decided to part ways and give each other one final hug.
Were they always going to end things before the wedding ceremony, or did Katie’s confession of finding Nick “attractive” speed things up?
Alex and Tim
Status: Split
They started out as one of the stronger connections, but their love story stumbled into some issues along the way. However, the most intense fight wasn’t picked up on camera.
It was serious enough for Tim to sleep in a separate room while in Cabo. He confronted Alex and said, “I will tell you that, when I came in here, I came with the full intention that this was probably gonna be the last conversation we ever had.”
They didn’t break up at the moment, but things still seem to be fractured between the two. However, Tim asked for Alex’ dad’s blessing. He received it, with her dad saying, “I accept you as my son.”
Their fights were not as explosive as the first one, yet it showed that they were not each other’s person.
Tim was offended by Alex’s decision to take a nap after the cameras stopped rolling when his parents were there. This eventually led to bigger problems, and they decided that there was no way out for them. Tim shocked Alex by breaking up with her.
Monica and Stephen
Status: Split
Monica Davis and Stephen Richardson quickly fell in love in the pods. This also translated into real life.
Monica was vocal about how her requirements for men were quite rigorous. The 36-year-old revealed that “something wasn’t working” and how happy she was to kind of let them slide away and embrace the Love Is Blind experience. Otherwise, she might have never met Stephen.
The former Marine-turned-electrician admitted his past regrets in the pods, which included a bout of cheating, voting for Trump, and a slew of other things. Monica mentioned not seeing things as “black and white” as before and dove right into the relationship.
This might have been a mistake as Stephen repeated the same mistakes just a few weeks into the relationship. During a sleep-away, Stephen claimed to have gotten drunk and sent some explicit texts back and forth to someone who was not Monica.
Not happy about this, Monica went to Taylor and Garrett’s apartment to seek some comfort during that turbulent time. Their relationship couldn’t overcome this betrayal. They are no longer getting married.
Brittany and Leo
Status: Split
Somehow involved in the Hannah and Nick love triangle (okay, square), Leo and Brittany Wisniewski tried to establish their own separate connection.
Leo constantly talked about how rich he was in the pods, and Brittany was open about how he liked a man to pay her way.
So, when the two of them decided to get engaged, it was a little odd, especially after Leo tried to convince Hannah to keep an open mind about their relationship and practically begged her to marry him.
Luckily for him, he was able to get Brittany to agree to get engaged after all that. The two met up in what must be one of the most awkward real-life interactions in Love Is Blind history.
The two didn’t go to Mexico with the others, and instead took a little trip on their own to Miami. Afterward, the two broke up.
