The pods may be closed, but the story is far from over. At the Love Is Blind Season 10 reunion, the Ohio pod squad reunited to unpack everything that’s happened since the experiment ended — from altar decisions that didn’t go according to plan to relationships that unraveled after cameras stopped rolling.
Of course, the drama wasn’t the only thing on display. Someone please tell Bri there were no “medium uglies” in sight — just plenty of reunion fashion looks worthy of the spotlight. And the surprises kept coming: baby announcements, heartfelt speeches, and even a certain father making a memorable appearance.
And yes, there were a lot of apologies. But surprisingly — or not — most of them were between the women. Ashley was sorry she didn’t pull an Amber and call out Chris at the pod mixer, while lingering questions about “girl code” between Brittany and some of the other women came to a head.
Keep reading for the 10 most shocking moments from the reunion, including what the Buckeye crew had to say about the breakups, misunderstandings, and unexpected life updates. Missed it? The reunion is now streaming as its own special event.
Four months are all it took for Amber and Jordan’s “I do” to turn into “I’m done.” The former couple are currently in the process of getting a divorce, but at least they don’t have to worry about moving boxes: The two never actually lived together. Amber stayed in Mount Vernon with her 7-year-old daughter, Emma, and Jordan is back in his Columbus condo.
“You wanted to do whatever you wanted, but have a wife that shows up on a Saturday, primed and ready to go who just worked all week, who just took care of her kid,” Amber said.
Jordan saw it differently. From his perspective, he found himself “constantly trying to repair a trust” that he didn’t break. But for Amber, the problem wasn’t just trust — it was being made a priority. Ultimately, Jordan felt it was “an unhealthy relationship” after a string of incidents (and apparently one disastrous wedding) and ended it.
Amber also reveals Jordan didn’t say goodbye to Emma before leaving. Looking directly into the camera, Jordan addressed Emma: “I know we found such an amazing bond. I’m so sorry that it ended that way.” Visibly upset by the mention of her daughter, Amber reiterated that she didn’t feel Jordan was ready to commit. “Don’t fucking come into somebody’s life if you’re going to do that,” Amber said, before exiting offstage.
The reunion didn’t just catch up with the latest couples — it also celebrated a major milestone: 10 seasons of Love Is Blind. And the room was packed.
More than 150 former alums showed up for the occasion, turning the audience into a who’s-who of the franchise’s most memorable faces. There were throwbacks to Season 1 with Giannina and Damian present, plus a few more unforgettable recent stars — like Season 6’s “You’re-going-to-choke” Jessica (yes, with an EpiPen in hand) and Chelsea, better known to fans as “Megan Fox.” Season 8 even got a little playful ribbing. When Dave Bettenburg of Minneapolis popped up in the crowd, Nick joked, “Dave, sorry to say his sister still couldn’t make it to the family reunion.” (IYKYK.)
Hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey also took a moment to celebrate the married couples in the audience: Tiffany and Brett, Zack and Bliss, Chelsea and Kwame, Amy and Johnny, Daniel and Taylor, and Garrett and Taylor. And yes — Cameron was there too, representing one of the show’s most beloved couples while Lauren stayed home with their newborn. “She gave me the thing that I wanted most in the world, which is my son,” Cameron said, reflecting on their fertility journey. “It’s just another level of love.”
Breezy and Connor are still writing their love story — just on their own timeline. After Bri made the decision to call off the wedding, the couple didn’t call it quits. Fast-forward to now, and the two are living next door to each other in Columbus. “You can’t fit a keg in her apartment,” Connor joked.
The next step? The altar. “We will be in it until death do us part,” Bri says, making it clear that postponing the wedding had nothing to do with Connor — and everything to do with her wanting to show up as “the best version” of herself. And yes, Connor is prepared. The man already knows her ring size.
Reflecting on the pod squad mixer, Connor conceded he might’ve been the only one not fully clued in. While Bri and Chris chatted at the bar, he was blissfully unaware. “Bri’s a grown woman and can do whatever she wants at the bar, I trust her,” Connor said. But when it comes to Chris, that trust has been irrevocably broken. “Me and Chris were best buds in the pods,” Connor said; he’d assumed bro code applied. Now? “He never crosses my mind.”
When it came time to talk about Chris, the Lacheys wasted zero time getting to the point. “Chris, you literally pissed off everyone on this stage,” Nick said, setting the tone for what can only be described as a very warm seat. When Chris admitted he wasn’t “proud” of how he came across onscreen, Nick shot back with a perfectly timed “That’s it?”
After some prompting, Chris turned to Connor to apologize for the way he acted at the pod squad mixer. “Connor, I’m sorry I disrespected you,” he said, and went on to take responsibility for putting Bri in an uncomfortable position.
Chris’s apology to Jess about ending their engagement over her Pilates routine, however, came with some caveats. “The truth was, I was emotionally immature, and I put physical chemistry over emotional connection,” Chris admitted. “I wasn’t fully ready going into this.” Jess’s response? A laugh. “Thank you for apologizing,” she said. “And, more importantly, thank you for showing me who you were quickly.”
Jess did not leave the pods empty-handed. Plot twist: She’s dating a fellow pod squad member — Haramol! The two doctors originally had a “deep connection” in the pods, but looking back, he admits that at the time, he “wasn’t brave enough” to take the leap.
After things ended with Chris, Jess and Haramol found their way back to each other. What started as months in the friend zone eventually turned into something more when Haramol decided to shoot his shot. “If the universe gives you a second chance, you take that seriously,” he said.
Taking the floor at the reunion, Haramol gave Jess “her flowers” — and then some. “You are everything, Jess,” he said. “Every room you walk into gets brighter, every human you talk to walks away more whole, more seen. That’s who you are, and I’m proud to have you next to me.” He kept going: “Also, the fact that you’re packaged like that — you’re so hot. I only have eyes for you.”
At the altar, Mike thought the plan was clear: he and Emma had already agreed they’d both say no. The experiment simply hadn’t given them enough time for Emma to make a decision about whether she wanted kids with him. But standing in front of family and friends, the moment took an unexpected turn.
Mike said he felt “blindsided” when Emma chose to follow her heart. Though he admitted it was tempting to say yes in the moment, he stuck with what he calls the “logical route.” Emma, meanwhile, said she leaned into the “emotional route,” believing that saying yes in front of both of their loved ones was a “declaration” that she wanted to eventually have children with Mike.
However, her response gave Mike pause. If the answer could change so easily in that setting, he wondered, what would happen when even bigger decisions came along?
These days, both are moving forward in different ways. Mike has been dating someone new for seven months, while Emma said that after the experiment she went “straight to therapy” — and is focusing on doing work on herself.
Things got tense when Nick Lachey pointed out that Alex’s story seemed to shift. Alex’s response? “Can you point to the changes?” — delivered with the calm confidence of someone in a courtroom drama (maybe a skill he picked up from Ashley’s divorce lawyer dad). Between Ashley questioning his “timeline” and her dad’s “cross-examination,” Alex said the pressure started building long before the wedding day.
When Ashley asked him directly what he actually came to the experiment for, Alex didn’t hesitate. “To find a wife … I just didn’t see one.” Nick couldn’t resist jumping in: “Well, you weren’t supposed to see them. It’s Love Is Blind.”
Beyond physical attraction, Alex said he believes Ashley was still not healed from a past relationship. Ashley, however, firmly disagreed. And when it came to her dad grilling Alex, she said the tough questions did exactly what they were meant to do: expose what she felt were Alex’s “rehearsed” answers.
Ashley also revealed she came to the altar prepared. She woke up at 6 a.m. that day and typed out a speech in her Notes app. “I didn’t want to stand there and get rejected,” she said. Alex, for his part, said the moment “blindsided” him. And in true Alex fashion, he summed it all up with a sports analogy — comparing their breakup to a tied 2005 soccer match: “I think we both ended things on equal footing.” As for where things stand now? Alex has relocated to Arizona and is currently rooming with fellow pod squad member Devo.
Brittany said watching the finale back left her feeling “highly confused” — especially when she heard Devo’s side of the story. According to Brittany, what he told the cameras sounded very different from what he’d been telling her during their relationship.
One example? The wedding dress. Brittany asserted she was up-front about buying one before the experiment even started. “If that was an issue for him, or a red flag, you should’ve left me all the way alone,” she said.
She also pushed back on Devo’s comment about her being a “shadow” in the relationship — a description she said felt completely unfair. Brittany said she actually gave him so much space that she ended up sacrificing her own needs in the process.
In her view, the bigger issue was honesty. Brittany believes Devo already knew the relationship was over but didn’t want to say it outright. Instead, he kept giving her false hope. Things only got murkier from there. Brittany said she didn’t see Devo for more than two weeks and eventually reached out to ask directly if he wanted to end things. His answer? No — he just needed time to “process.”
A few days later, Devo told Brittany he was heading out on a “work trip.” In reality, he joined Ashley, Bri, and Priyanka on what Connor called a girls’ trip. She says the situation felt like a breach of “girl code,” though the trio pushed back, saying Devo told them the relationship was already over. Regardless, Devo took responsibility for the “miscommunication.”
Despite everything, Brittany doesn’t think Devo is a bad guy, but he certainly is full of surprises. Turns out, Devo is engaged to someone new. Also, he’s going to be a dad. Yes, Brittany was hearing this all for the first time.
The conversation took an emotional turn when Brittany’s dad spoke directly to Devo — dad to new dad — to ask the question that was clearly weighing on him: Did Devo lie when he told Brittany’s family he was ready to marry her? “At that point, I truly thought I was,” Devo replied. Brittany’s dad wasn’t convinced. He pointed out that Brittany had given Devo multiple chances to walk away. “I guess, I don’t quit,” Devo said.
“This is not a game,” her dad said. “You don’t say, ‘I’m not going to quit,’ you say, ‘I’m going to commit,’ and then you do everything you can to be the man that you said you were going to be. Please take that lesson and apply it.”
Vic and Christine are officially under one roof in Columbus — and loving every minute of it. “The best thing about living with Christine is that our home is a home,” Vic said, summing up their post-wedding bliss. In other words: Things are going very well for this season’s lovebirds. Nick Lachey even joked that the pair are “nauseatingly perfect.” Still, marriage comes with a few quirks. Vic’s biggest pet peeve? Christine’s habit of wearing socks to bed. “A little toe action goes a long way,” he laughed.
The couple has also been spending time getting to know each other’s families. “We know how Mama Melody feels about you,” teased Vanessa Lachey, recalling the unforgettable moment Melody met Vic and immediately called him “hot.”
Vic and Christine also touched on heading off to Malibu instead of joining the group in Mexico. “We were each other’s No. 1 from the beginning, so it made sense,” Christine explained. Simply put, they didn’t have much left to figure out with anyone else. “Even my friends say I’m too boring to be on reality TV,” she added with a laugh. “I’m just here to find my person — and I did.”
While they skipped the Mexico trip, the pair still got a romantic surprise. TurboTax gifted them a special honeymoon getaway to celebrate their first time filing taxes as a married couple. And with that, Vic and Christine took their place among Love Is Blind’s happily married pairs.
