Netflix's hit reality dating show, Love Is Blind, continues to captivate audiences with its unique premise: singles seeking love based on emotional connection rather than physical appearance. The show, produced by Kinetic Content and hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, follows participants as they navigate the complexities of forming relationships in "the pods," where they can talk but not see each other. After the pod phase, engaged couples meet face-to-face and must decide whether to marry.
Season 5: Houston Singles Enter the Pods
Season 5 of Love Is Blind introduced a new group of Houston singles eager to find love in the pods. The season premiered with the first four episodes. Netflix teased that the singles would face new challenges, unexpected twists, and surprising turns, testing their resolve and the strength of their connections more than ever before.
“As the experiment continues to expand, each participant’s individual journey, emotional growth, and ability to embrace a new approach to dating is key - whether they find love outwardly or within,” Netflix teases.

Season 9: Denver Pod Squad - Where Are They Now?
Season 9 of Netflix’s Love Is Blind ended with zero couples tying the knot. However, that doesn’t mean that the Denver Pod Squad is without love today.
“We’re all such different people, and such different individuals,” Madison Maidenberg revealed to Swooon, discussing her season’s historic ending. “I don’t know if it’s just something in the water here in Denver or what."

Ali and Anton
Last we heard from Ali, she was calling things off with her fiancé, Anton Yarosh, at the altar. During an exclusive interview with Swooon, she let us in on a shocking post-show confession that Anton told her months after their split. According to her, Anton admitted that he didn’t know what he would have done if she had said “I do” as well.
While it appeared that Anton and Ali had not been in contact since he made his big confession, fans speculated that Anton had started dating another Pod Squad member: Madison Maidenberg. However, at the reunion, Anton revealed that he has had a girlfriend for about a year. Pointing to her in the audience, Anton shared, “Her name is Miranda.”
Madison and Joe
Madison admitted during an exclusive interview with Swooon that she and Joe Ferrucci caught up soon after their split and ended up making out before he completely ghosted her. On a recent podcast before the reunion, Joe’s current girlfriend, Averee Madison (Read: he is in a relationship today), revealed that after the show, he went on a couple of dates with Kacie Anita McIntosh before they got together.
Kacie and Patrick
Kacie certainly made a splash during Season 9, when she broke things off with her fiancé, Patrick Suzuki, the morning after they met face-to-face. According to Kacie, she dated Joe after he broke up with Madison. In the pods, they were each other’s third-best connection.
While we don’t know much about his relationship status today, it looks like Patrick is still waiting for his invite to Baja. On October 17, Patrick appeared with Joe and Anton in an Instagram Reel, poking fun at the fans’ comments from the season. Good to know that the Season 9 bromance is still going strong!

Kalybriah and Edmond
We couldn’t help but notice that Kalybriah and Edmond Harvey walked out of their wedding ceremony together, even though they didn’t tie the knot. During an exclusive interview with Swooon, KB revealed that Edmond acted differently on-camera than he did when it was just the two of them together. After Edmond’s mom couldn’t make it to his wedding, he became one of the most talked-about stars of the season.
At the reunion, Edmond and Kalybriah shared a hug. However, they are definitely still separated.
Annie and Nick
Another one of the Pod Squaders who made the biggest splash this season was Annie, whose fiancé, Nick Amato, called things off before their wedding day. At the reunion, Annie did not confirm her relationship status. Instead, we finally learned that Annie was texting her best friend during her breakup with Nick. According to Annie, her best friend was texting her asking if she should still come to the wedding. Her answer?
For a while, fans were convinced that Nick and Annie would make it to the end of the aisle. However, Nick broke up with Annie because he was tired of her putting words in his mouth.
Kait
Surprise! While Kait didn’t get engaged to Nick in the pods, she was the only single Pod Squader to join the six former couples on stage at the reunion. While this was probably because Kait is besties with both Madison and Joe’s new girlfriend, Averee, we couldn’t help but hope it’s because she’s going to announce that she’s dating one of the guys.

Fan-favorite single dad Jordan Keltner ended the season, well, single. While he revealed to Swooon that he would have said “I do” on their wedding day, his fiancée, Megan Walerius, broke up with him due to the lack of compatibility between their lifestyles.
Sparkle Megan
We saved the most sparkling Pod Squad member for last. Leading up to the reunion, fans were convinced that Sparkle Megan had entered a new relationship since the season wrapped filming and had a baby with her mystery man. At the reunion, she confirmed that the rumors were true, introducing viewers to her baby, Brooks, and her current partner, Paul.
