This article contains major character or plot details.
In six years of Love Is Blind, fans have seen it all: wine-drinking dogs, Megan Fox look-alikes, poultry-forward smoothies, and plenty of tears — both real and fake.
And yet, Season 10 brings no shortage of group chat-worthy moments, including a particularly spicy game of Never Have I Ever, a speech that might rival Jessica’s “You’re gonna choke” monologue, and a minor medical emergency brought to you by nail glue. In the milestone season, which is streaming now, 32 Ohio singles from across the state entered the dating experiment, and seven couples — Emma and Mike, Christine and Vic, Amber and Jordan, Bri and Connor, Brittany and Devo, Ashley and Alex, and Jessica and Chris — found love, sight unseen.
After emotional reveals and CPAP-fueled sleepovers, the pod squad has returned from their romantic getaways to start life as fiancés in Ohio. Tensions are high as the wedding day looms closer. Will Emma give Mike the answer he’s looking for? Can Ashley leave her family behind for nomadic Alex? And what happens when someone realizes their No. 2 in the pods might actually be their No. 1 in the real world?
Keep reading to catch up with the couples as they move in together — and check back throughout the season for updates as they inch closer to the altar.
Emma and Mike
STATUS: STILL TOGETHER
When Connor, Emma’s number-one choice in the pods, turns her down, she hesitates to continue the experiment. But Mike’s easygoing nature changes everything — and ultimately, Emma’s mind. There’s only one problem: Mike is ready for fatherhood while Emma isn’t sure if she wants kids. Adopted at a young age, she has no relationship with her biological parents and fears passing down any unknown hereditary complications. Before the age of seven, she underwent 10 surgeries to remove high-risk birthmarks that left her with physical scarring.
But she’s not saying no to motherhood just yet — she’s open to it with the right partner by her side. Mike wants to be that guy for her. He proposes with the hope she’ll change her mind when the time comes. In Mexico, Mike continues to fall in love with Emma, stumbling over her shoes in the process. Yes, she’s a little messy, but it’s nothing he can’t handle. Mike continues to encourage Emma to consider motherhood, believing their connection is stronger than her uncertainty.
When they return home and Mike gets his phone back, reality sets in. Two of his closest friends are expecting babies. With weddings fast approaching, Mike craves clarity that Emma isn’t ready to give. His biggest fear? That she’ll agree to motherhood for him — and resent him, or worse, their child, for it.
Family meetings only intensify this decision. Mike’s very Italian family reacts to the engagement and her reluctance to have children with big emotions — his mom admits she cried for two days before the meeting. Emma’s family offers a different lens. One of Emma’s sisters admits that, while she loves her kids, she’s not sure if she’d make the same choice to have them if she had a do-over.
Mike is careful not to issue an ultimatum, but the subtext is clear. He wants children. He needs a partner who wants them, too. Love might be blind, but love might not be enough.

Christine and Vic
STATUS: STILL TOGETHER
“I can’t see you, but I see you” becomes Vic’s favorite phrase in the pods. He may not know what Christine looks like, but he knows she’s beautiful. The two immediately connect over a passion for helping their community: him through his work in public policy, and her through her role as a speech-language pathologist. It also helps that they both have great taste in music (at least, they think so). The couple is the first to get engaged this season. Vic, a professor, uses his PhD background to write Christine a poem that steals her heart, and she follows with a prayer that seals the deal. When Vic proposes, Christine responds, “Of course,” because, yes, for these two it’s that simple.
The couple is whisked off to Malibu for some quality time together, free from distractions from the outside world. (To learn more about Vic and Christine’s solo Malibu trip — and why they didn’t join the other pod squad members in Mexico, check out Tudum’s interview with the couple and creator Chris Coelen.)
Back in Ohio, they’re eager to recreate the magic outside the happy bubble they created in Malibu. Vic meets Christine’s mom, who wastes no time declaring him “hot” — um, maternal stamp of approval secured? The couple talks candidly about raising interracial children, navigating identity, and belonging. Vic isn’t worried about Christine’s ability to nurture their future kids; he calls her a “well of love.”
He shows her his classroom, picturing her stopping by campus for lunch. She brings him somewhere even more vulnerable — her hometown of Hillsboro, Ohio. “It’s a big deal. I don’t show anyone where I grew up,” she admits. “I used to be embarrassed about where I came from. There’s a part of me that worries — am I good enough for him? Why would he choose me?”
They feed horses together and visit the bowling alley where she spent her teenage years. It’s less about the landmarks and more about letting Vic see a whole other side of her. “He feels like home,” Christine says.

Amber and Jordan
STATUS: STILL TOGETHER
Before entering the pods, Jordan said he didn’t want to date anyone with a kid — but for Amber, he’s willing to reconsider. A single mom to a seven-year-old, Amber is looking for someone to make waffles with before school. The two foodies bond over their shared love of cooking, and Jordan is as sweet as the cookies he bakes for her. His caring and understanding nature matches well with Amber’s desire to “wear her weirdness on her sleeve.” Jordan gets down on one knee and promises to accept her for all her quirks.
On the first night in Mexico, Amber starts to reflect on her experience getting pregnant at 26 without a partner. Now, she’s watching the sunset in Cabo with a ring on her finger — sparkly nails and all. What she’s found with Jordan feels genuine, a bond she didn’t allow herself to imagine she could have. And their comfort with each other grows fast, from getting intimate while wearing a CPAP machine to shaving Jordan’s back.
Back home, Amber is reunited with her daughter, Emma. She carefully shares that she’s engaged, but it hinges on Jordan meeting Emma and everyone being “on board.” When Jordan’s family meets Amber, it feels promising. His two sisters have boys close to Emma’s age, and Jordan proudly wears the badge of “fun uncle.” Though he hasn’t met Emma yet, he has met her dad — a step that makes everything feel tangible. He’s excited, but nervous. “What if she doesn’t like me?” he wonders.
Twenty days before the wedding, they visit Jordan’s Columbus bachelor pad, including a “man cave” outfitted with darts and decorative swords. Amber, proud of her home makeover talents, counters by showing off her own before-and-after photos of projects in her house in Mount Vernon. They dream of buying a new home together someday. But that’s the future, and, for now, Amber wants to stay near Emma’s school. Will Jordan give up the energy of city life for them?

Bri and Connor
STATUS: STILL TOGETHER
Bri (aka Breezy) and Connor’s love story is anything but a slow burn. Connor is Bri’s number one from the start, and he goes all in when he learns she isn’t an Ohio State fan. The banter comes easily — especially when Connor lets Bri talk over him. She also enjoys a rousing rendition of Connor’s karaoke favorite, “Mr. Brightside.” If that isn’t enough in common, both their dads coached their childhood sports teams. The two connect over wanting to continue that tradition with their own family someday, with Bri as a soccer mom and Connor driving the minivan. It’s a match made in Little League heaven.
When Connor proposes, Bri responds with a strong “Let’s go!” — reminiscent of her state school days. At the reveal, Connor’s sweaty palms don’t dim Bri’s massive smile. But it isn’t all breezy. Jealousies surface when the other couples meet in Mexico. After Connor’s 32nd birthday celebration, Bri wishes she had a chance to get deeper with Chris, her number two in the pods. The two eventually reconnect by the pool, and it begins to trigger Connor’s insecurities. However, he’s self-assured enough to let it go.
Three weeks before the wedding, the future feels tangible: football Saturdays in Ann Arbor, family reunions in Pennsylvania, summers on the water. Connor shows off the house he bought two years ago as proof he’s ready for marraige. Bri notices everything else — the lingering Christmas tree, the beer keg in the garage, and general frat-boy decor. And yet, Bri finds some relief when she sees a headboard over his bed, a clear sign of a mature adult.
Family meetings deepen the stakes. After a conversation with her mom, Bri wonders if “nice” is enough — if supportive can also mean motivating. Then the past resurfaces. Chris DM’s Breezy after effectively ending his relationship with Jess. During a night out with the other couples, Chris pulls Bri aside. A few drinks in, he tells her “submissive” Connor isn’t right for her, she needs someone “more dominant” — like him. Bri is left gobsmacked with a golden goblet at her lips.

Brittany and Devo
STATUS: STILL TOGETHER
From the jump, Brittany was asking, “Where the hell is my husband?” The 33-year-old bought a wedding dress before the show and planned to stay celibate until she could wear it. In the pods, Brittany isn’t scared away by Devo’s endearing “nerdy” voice. The labor and delivery nurse is happy to nerd out alongside him — so long as he’s willing to listen to her recount stories about the miracle of birth. A few days into the experiment, Devo learns that his grandfather has passed away, but decides to continue the process with Brittany. He proposes, promising to live, laugh, and “have lots of babies” with her.
While dating, Brittany keeps her ethnicity to herself, but she starts to feel nervous right before the reveal. Devo is initially surprised to learn she’s Latina and admits he’s never dated a woman of color before. Devo isn’t Brittany’s usual type either, but she quickly falls for his blue-green eyes. Both are happy to find love with someone they wouldn’t have approached in the outside world. A few smooches later — apparently their lips “match” — and the two are giddy with excitement for the future.
However, when they arrive in Cabo, their physical connection isn’t as strong as their emotional one. The misalignment comes to a head when he snubs Brittany’s offer to give him a hickey during a heated game of Never Have I Ever with the rest of the pod squad. Brittany is left wanting more — her love language is physical touch, after all — and even offers to break her vow of no sex until marriage if that’s what it takes to stay connected. Devo continues to confirm that “nothing is wrong,” but Brittany can’t shake the feeling that she’s not being fully seen.
Back home, they move in together and try to translate pod intimacy into real life. Brittany thinks the rocky stretch in Mexico might actually be a strength. “It’s good, it hasn’t been extremely easy,” she says. “You’ve seen a different side of me than I was in the pods.” He agrees. Devo meets Brittany’s family with surprising ease. One of five siblings himself — twins run in his family, which Brittany considers a bonus — he’s unfazed by the lively energy. Her dad wastes no time embracing Devo, vowing to love him like a son. It seems like they could be one big happy family.
Then, one night, after Devo cooks dinner, Brittany admits she still doesn’t feel as close as she did in the pods. He doesn’t compliment her. He rarely tells her she’s pretty. Devo says that after she pointed out the lack of affection in Cabo, any praise now feels forced. He doesn’t want to say it unless it feels genuine. She accepts his stubbornness and chalks it up to her projecting insecurities from a past relationship.

Ashley and Alex
STATUS: STILL TOGETHER
Ashley entered the pods looking for the Ken to her Barbie. When she finds the tall, dark, and handsome doll-man of her dreams, he comes with his own accessory: a soccer ball. Alex, a former professional athlete, has experienced puppy love and heartbreak, but quickly sees Ashley as his forever — he might even say she’s a keeper. With flirtatious prompts about who’s a better kisser, the two clearly have sexual chemistry from date one. In the pods, the two also connect over their shared love of reading — particularly an old favorite, The Alchemist. The novel’s message of following your dreams resonates with their love story — so much so that it makes an appearance in Alex’s proposal.
Before the reveal, Alex emphasizes his pattern of falling for looks first. Once the doors open, that doesn’t seem to be an issue for either of them. Their first kiss (or kisses) are electric, with Sabrina Carpenter’s “Bed Chem” playing over the make-out sesh. Ashley emphasizes how important sex is to her and is quick to give Alex “dangerous” eyes again on their first night in Cabo.
When the couple spends a pool day with the rest of the pod squad, Alex pulls Brittany aside to tell her she’s his typical type — while his fiancée is not. Alex doesn’t share this tidbit with Ashley. Their fiery relationship begins to cool as they discuss their future together. Will Ashley leave her family in Ohio to follow nomadic Alex to Arizona or Florida or wherever he plans to move next? She’s nervous about the unknown and expects more comfort from her partner.
Meeting the parents only heightens the stakes. Alex sits down with Ashley’s dad, Paul — the “protector and provider” of the family — and the dinner lands awkwardly. Paul isn’t convinced he’s getting the full story. “I’m not saying he’s a bad person,” he says afterward, “But I don’t think honesty is his strength.”
Meanwhile, Alex is ready to get the ball rolling — especially after learning he’s received a job offer to coach soccer in Florida. Ashley schedules a meeting with her boss to discuss what relocating might mean for her own career.
Tensions flare in smaller ways, too. Alex claims he’s “walking on eggshells” after Ashley rearranges his water bottles in the fridge. Ashley, on the other hand, is more concerned about their lack of intimacy since returning from Cabo. A sensual spa date ends with Alex heading out the door. He later explains he assumed she was on her period and didn’t want to risk pregnancy. Ashley clarifies that’s not how the menstrual cycle works. And no, she’s not trying to “trap” him in Cleveland.
They survive their first fight, and Ashley says her frustrations have been assuaged — at least for now. She spends some time with Alex’s mom, gaining a better understanding of the root of his “wanderlust.” But questions linger. Ashley struggles to follow Alex’s timeline of past relationships, especially when she learns he’s still friends with an ex with whom he spent a week in Austin shortly before the experiment. Then, at the couples’ get-together — just 11 days before the wedding — another wrinkle surfaces: Alex knew Priyanka before the pods.

Jessica and Chris
STATUS: NOT TOGETHER
Jessica arrives at the pods looking for love after healing from a divorce. After long days treating COVID patients at the hospital, the infectious diseases doctor wants a partner who could be her rock, and Chris provides the sense of safety she craves. Sure, they have different activity levels — he trains for triathlons, and she sees running as a punishment — but the two relate over their lack of desire for children and a shared dream of bettering society. At first, Chris is intimidated by Jessica’s love of six-inch heels — until the big reveal: she’s five-feet-tall. He had already fallen head over heels for her, but the significant height difference was a cherry on top.
The two spend some phone-free time together in Mexico, happy to be far from the distractions of everyday life, especially the news. Jessica makes it clear that politics and activism are a valued part of her life. In the same conversation, Jessica shares her insecurities that Chris would prefer to be with a “gym rat.” He says he loves pizza and couch time as much as anyone else but doesn’t deny his usual type goes to “Pilates every day.” Jessica promises to at least try his at-home cold plunge.
Back in the real world, the two float the idea of Chris moving into her four-bedroom house, dreaming aloud about someday hosting Christmas there. But the holiday fantasy cools quickly. Chris goes out for drinks with a friend and doesn’t come home that night — or the next. When he finally resurfaces 48 hours later, he bristles at her expectation of “constant communication.” Then, in a sharp pivot, he asks whether she thinks they have a strong physical connection. He confesses something that plays into her biggest fear: He’s struggling to be intimate with her because she doesn’t work out daily. He’s even been wondering what it would be like to be with Bri, his other pod connection. “I’m just being honest,” he insists, and wants to keep trying because they have “fun together.”
Jessica, who spends every day saving lives and has never pretended to be a marathoner, doesn’t beg. “If my body isn’t good enough for you, I’m never gonna be like, ‘Oh, please still love me.’ That’s not what I’m here for.” Chris, somehow stunned, can’t grasp why she won’t work through his lack of attraction to her. It looks like no amount of icy water can shock this relationship back to life.

Kevan and Tyler … and Keya
STATUS: NOT TOGETHER
Just six days into the experiment, Kevan was ready to call Tyler his number one. The two are quick to laugh together and are on the same page when it comes to kids. Kevan opens up about his mom’s medical journey and how he had to step up as the man of the house to take care of her. Tyler intended to leave Ohio someday, but is willing to stay for her husband. He leaves their date feeling confident about their bond and ready to end things with his other connection, Keya.
Kevan is upfront with Keya about his strong feelings for Tyler, but she surprises him with her response. Instead of being upset, Keya says she understands that this experiment is meant to help them get to know other people. Ultimately, she wants them both to enjoy the experience and have fun. This eases some of Kevan’s guilt over dating multiple women at the same time. However, his lack of clarity doesn’t do him any favors with the women.
As engagement day creeps closer, Tyler grows tired of Kevan’s decision paralysis. She doesn’t want to hear how great she is (she already knows!); she needs him to stand firm in his decision. So, Tyler leaves. Well … she briefly leaves, then comes back to give him another chance. The next date — after some pushing — he tells Tyler that he has chosen her as his girlfriend. They take a brief break during their five-hour date, and she comes back with a different mindset. Is he even ready to get married? She tells him he needs to prove to her that he’s all in with her, or she’s not coming back. The next day, when Kevan enters the pod, he finds himself alone. Tyler has left after not hearing anything from Kevan between dates.
Kevan goes back to Keya in the hope of salvaging their relationship and turning it into a forever love. He stresses that she was nobody’s second choice, and she confirms that she never felt like a backup option. Before Kevan can continue with his monologue on how great she is, Keya stops him to speak her own truth. She tells him she isn’t falling in love with him and that, frankly, he isn’t ready for a relationship of this magnitude. She wishes him well and leaves for the warm embrace of her girls in the women’s quarters. “I chose me, bitches,” she says.
