As Vanessa and Nick Lachey love to say, “The pods are now open.” Or at least they will be when Love Is Blind Season 3 premieres on Oct. 19. Naturally, those pods will be filled with 30 singles taking a risk and hoping to fall in love, sight unseen, though only a handful will ultimately get engaged without ever laying eyes on their beloveds. It takes a very special cast to jump into Love Is Blind heart-first, and this group is unforgettable. 

But with so many singles — and potential love matches — to keep track of, you’re going to need a handy guide to help remind you who’s who. Here’s the complete cast list, with the inside scoop on everyone’s ages, jobs and socials. And as an added bonus, we’ve included all the juiciest information they shared with us before starting the experiment. Prepare to learn exactly who these people are and what they’re looking to find on the other side of the blue wall. Then — when you’re ready — get the scoop on the engaged couples.

The Men 
 

Tony

Tony is looking for a “teammate.” His longest relationship was 10 years, and his biggest dating pet peeve is a “rude and pretentious” person.

Dakota

Occupation: Aerospace Engineer 

Dakota is ready to “do this” with his future life partner. He’s looking for a love like the one his parents have shared for the last 40 years. Dakota’s best qualities as a partner are his “welcoming personality,” selflessness and drive.

Zach knows love can come from all “angles,” so why not try finding it in the pods? He has been single for over four years and says he has “high standards.” He joined the Love Is Blind experiment to remove the “physical” from dating and “let someone know who he truly is.”

Dale

Age: 32

Simmer

Age: 27
Occupation: Director of Marketing Technology

Simmer is clearly searching for his ambitious other half. He wants someone who will “help him grow” and someone he can help nurture in return — all on the road to building an “empire” together. Unlike a lot of his co-participants, Simmer says he “doesn’t have a usual type.”

Cole 

Age: 27
Occupation: Realtor

We hope Cole’s future partner has put in her 10,000 hours behind the wheel — or exclusively uses rideshare apps. That’s because Cole’s No. 1 pet peeve is “a bad driver.” Instead, he’s looking for a loyal and encouraging woman “who lives in faith with God.” In return, he promises to “bring entertainment” to the relationship.

Anthony 

Age: 33
Occupation: Attorney

Anthony is looking at Love Is Blind as a chance to try “something different.” That’s why he’s excited to date without the distractions of social media, external “perceptions” and “all of the other superfluous” disturbances that get in the way of focusing on love. If any of his pod dates are looking for the key to his heart, the answer is chocolate chip cookies. 

You can follow him on Instagram and Twitter.

Matt 

Age: 28
Occupation: Private Charter Sales Executive

Matt is a self-described morning person. He also loves golf, working out and the relationship his mother and stepdad share. Matt was previously in a 10-year relationship and says he’s looking to “break down his walls” and “open back up to someone in order to build a relationship.”

Bartise 

Age: 27
Occupation: Senior Analyst

Laughter is a big priority with Bartise. He is looking for someone who can “take all of his jokes” and even “crack some back” at him. Bartise believes he’s still single due to “pickiness” and hopes to prove there’s more “value” to gym-loving guys like himself than his “workout lifestyle.” He thinks Steph and Ayesha Curry are #CoupleGoals.

Bartise is still searching for his soulmate over on Perfect Match, a new series which gathers all of your Netflix favorite reality stars under one roof together for a dating extravaganza.

Sikiru, aka “SK” 

Age: 34
Occupation: Data Engineer

If you love to snack, SK is your guy since he’s munching “all the time.” While he “enjoys the finer things in life,” he’s wary of people who are “too materialistic.” SK is looking for a “boss lady” and is excited to fall in love with his partner’s mind before their appearance. After a lifetime of “unconventional” experiences, he thinks the Love Is Blind experiment is right up his alley.

Andrew

Age: 30
Occupation: Director of Operations

Andrew’s biggest pet peeve with dating is someone who looks to other people to solve their problems before “doing it themselves.” But, the key to his heart is “constant snuggles” and he hopes for a relationship like his friends Rey and Crystal. Andrew says it was “love at first sight” for the pair. But, can Andrew find love at first voice?

DaVonté 

Age: 29
Occupation: Fitness Development Coach

DaVonté jokes that he probably “works out too much.” Yet, his perfect match might just appreciate that hobby. DaVonté’s usual type is “fitness-loving,” and he thinks the hallmark of a good relationship is “adventure.” While he sees Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith as relationship inspiration, he “would like to set a new standard for marriage” himself.

Julian 

Age: 34
Occupation: Managing Director of Operations

Julian’s future spouse better have a library card, because his deal breaker is someone who “isn’t well-read.” After all, his main hobbies include reading books, trying out new restaurants and “sand volleyball.” He has come to Love Is Blind to help break his habit of “trying to date the most physically attractive girls who were inherently wrong for him.” A wall will do that.

The Women
 

Ashley 

Age: 29
Occupation: Chiropractor

Ashley wants a “best friend” and a “leader” from the Love Is Blind experiment. Hopefully she’s willing to be patient, since Ashley believes “good things come to those who wait” — especially when it comes to finding The One. She refuses to “settle” until she can find the “gentleman” of her dreams.  

You can follow her on Instagram and TikTok.

Kalekia 

Age: 31
Occupation: ICU Nurse Practitioner

Fingers crossed that Kalekia’s future spouse has a hanky on hand, because she admits she’s “super sneezy.” The perils of allergies. After three “preoccupied” years of full-time work and grad school — along with a mandatory residency filled with night shifts — Kalekia is finally ready to focus on finding her perfect partner. That person, she hopes, will be kind, sincere and able to communicate.

Brannigan 

Age: 35
Occupation: Critical Care Nurse 

Brannigan says to “buckle up” — it’s going to be a “fun ride” with her as a spouse. She loves ax-throwing and other unexpected hobbies, like cake decorating. Brannigan refuses to put up with “f-boys” and is looking to settle down with someone who isn’t intimidated by her accomplishments and success.

Nancy 

Age: 32
Occupation: Real Estate Investor 

The No. 1 priority for Nancy in a relationship is ensuring she and her partner can be “kind and genuine” together. Her longest relationship was eight years long, but she says she hasn’t found The One yet because men in her dating pool haven’t been ready to “settle down.” She would like to find someone who is “spontaneous” and ready to go on a trip or jump into an adventure with her.  

You can follow her on Instagram and TikTok.

Chelsey  

Age: 27
Occupation: Customer Success Manager 

When it comes to Love Is Blind, Chelsey is ready to “rock it out” if you are, guys. She is a “versatile” and “outgoing” woman who enjoys the outdoors, culture and “working on her plants.” She wants someone who is “just as silly” and will make her “light up.” Until then, she’ll have to settle for the bright glow of a blue wall. 

Colleen 

Age: 26
Occupation: Ballet Dancer and Digital PR Strategist

Colleen is ready to meet her person — and she’s sure he’s “here” in the Love Is Blind pods. Her longest relationship was close to five years, and she believes someone gets an “instant feeling” the moment they find their person. Sadly, she hasn’t experienced that yet. She hopes the experiment will “remove” the daily distractions that get in the way of finding her guy.

Charita

Age: 35
Occupation: Makeup Artist

There is nothing Charita likes less in a relationship than inconsistency. She’s been dealing with unfulfilling “situationships” for the last few years and men who are “emotionally unavailable.” A fan of cooking (“from scratch!”), she wants to find someone who’s funny, smart and communicative.

Valerie

Age: 35
Occupation: Dermatologist

Valerie promises whoever chooses her is “in for a ride.” She loves baking, hiking, surfing and writing songs. Valerie joined Love Is Blind to find a “soulmate” she can connect with on a deep level.

Amanda 

Age: 31
Occupation: Stylist

Get ready to talk, since Amanda says she’s very expressive and processes everything “out loud.” That’s an attribute that can only help in an experiment like Love Is Blind. Amanda thinks she’s single because she “picks the wrong guys” and is looking for a relationship that will bring her “joy” through travel and kindness.

Zanab 

Age: 32
Occupation: Realtor

Zanab couldn’t be more “excited” to meet her other half. She admits to being “picky AF” and is searching for a partner she can love forever. Her dream spouse is loyal, ambitious and loving — and taller than her in heels. Her guy “smelling nice” wouldn’t hurt either.

Raven 

Age: 29
Occupation: Pilates Instructor

Bring a book — or something else to keep you occupied — if you’re dating Raven, since she admits she’s “always late to everything.” Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, Raven says, “I’m always going to be late.” She’s looking for someone intelligent and responsible to marry and counts Barack and Michelle Obama as relationship inspiration.

Alexa 

Age: 27
Occupation: Insurance Agency Owner

Alexa says she’s stubborn — but she’s been working on it for the last few years. She dislikes ghosting and the “pen pal” phenomenon that’s become a part of modern dating. She joined the Love Is Blind cast to find love in a way that finally “eliminates the superficial.”

Jess 

Age: 30
Occupation: Senior Event Producer

Jess knows that if you have to “be someone else” to fit in a relationship, you’re in the wrong place. That’s why she rejects “games” in dating and wants someone who’s down-to-earth and can make her laugh. Jess’s love language is acts of service and she’s looking for compromise and friendship in a relationship. 

You can follow her on Instagram and TikTok.  

Loren

Age: 36
Occupation: Medical Device Representative 

You might need your ear plugs for a date with Loren, since she says she plays her music loud — “like so loud.” When she’s not rocking out at concerts, Loren is hiking, doing yoga and traveling. The keys to her heart are pancakes and vulnerability. 

You can follow her on Instagram and TikTok.

Kim

Age: 30
Occupation: Teacher and Coach

Kim changes her mind a lot. She hopes to find someone willing to “go with the flow.” Her ideal partner would be excited to meet her on a patio to enjoy drinks and watch a game together. Her biggest dating pet peeve is “poor communication,” and she can’t wait to be done with “the endless ritual of online dating.”

The Love Is Blind Season 3 Couples

Alexa & Brennon 

These two connect immediately over their passion for shakshuka, and it’s all romance from there. Alexa and Brennon get engaged within Episode 1, with Brennon telling his future fiancée he’s “obsessed” with her and loves her “everywhere” — whether they’re in the pods or outside. Alexa is equally committed to Brennon and can’t stop saying “wow” when they meet. 

When it comes to their surveys, vibrant and confident Alexa definitely has the “strong personality” Brennon is searching for. On the flip side, Brennon seems prepared to be the Ryan Reynolds to Alexa’s Blake Lively and encourages her to shine as she wants.

Zanab & Cole

In the first few episodes of Love Is Blind, we see Cole show interest in ballerina Colleen before settling into an exclusive relationship with Zanab. The pair connect on their shared dedication to the Christian faith and hope for a “prayerful” marriage. During Cole’s proposal, he tells Zanab, “I don’t think you’re the type of girl I would have gone for, but you’re exactly the type of girl I needed to go for.” Now is his chance. 

In Zanab’s survey, she mentions wanting “someone who makes her laugh,” which joker Cole consistently does. Cole is looking for someone “lives in faith with God,” which Zanab definitely does.

Raven & SK 

Raven is another Love Is Blind single who finds herself in a love triangle. She initially shows interest in Bartise before deciding to solely pursue SK. We also learn in Episode 4 that SK makes it into Nancy’s Top 4 (more on her in a bit). While SK and Raven take their time building their physical connection outside of the pods, their emotional connection runs deep. As SK tells Raven during his proposal, “I’m fascinated by your mind and the way you think.”  

That’s no surprise, since Raven has a lot of the qualities SK is looking for in a wife. He describes his “type” as a “boss lady” who’s ambitious and confident. SK, who’s continuing his education, also fits into Raven’s idea of the ideal partner, as she’s looking for someone who’s intelligent and responsible.

Bartise & Nancy 

Bartise and Nancy both have flirtations with other Love Is Blind daters before choosing to leave the pods together engaged. Bartise dates Raven — and calls her a “fucking smoke show” during the cast trip to Malibu — and Nancy recieves a proposal from Andrew. But Nancy says yes to Bartise when he gets down on one knee, describing him as her “soulmate” and the “male version” of herself. 

Bartise is hoping to find someone with a sense of humor, which Nancy has in spades. Similarly, fun-loving Bartise certainly fulfills Nancy’s survey request for a “spontaneous” partner.

Colleen & Matt 

Following Colleen’s breakup with Cole, she questions whether she’s “doing something wrong” in the experiment. Then Colleen settles into her love story with Matt. During a particularly rough patch of filming, he “turns her whole day” around — and then her entire Love Is Blind journey. Matt proposes and, when the couple meet, Colleen says, “I feel his love and it’s just amazing in every way.” 

Bubbly Colleen fits into Matt’s desire for a “happy, optimistic” partner. And straightforward Matt has the independence Collen asked for when she entered the experiment.
