The ninth season of Netflix’s hit reality show “Love Is Blind” ends with a franchise first: Not a single couple tied the knot. The drama-packed finale left fans stunned, while viewers now look ahead to a tension-filled reunion and a potential shake-up for the show’s future format.
Top Takeaways

- Reunion special is set for October 29, promising emotional confrontations and life-after-the-pods reveals for all contestants.
- Netflix already confirmed a Season 10 for 2026, with rumors pointing to Boston as the next location.
- Franchise’s previous eight seasons saw nine couples remain married as of 2025, but Season 9 breaks the winning streak.
What Went Down in Love Is Blind Season 9
“Love Is Blind” Season 9, released October 1, 2025, took viewers on a rollercoaster with 32 singles from Denver hoping to find lasting romance without ever seeing each other. Following the show’s signature “pods to proposal” journey, six pairs left the pods engaged and excited for their real-world test.
However, as relationships were tested on vacation and in everyday life, breakups piled up. By the time the finale arrived, only three couples—Ali and Anton, Kalybriah and Edmond, Megan and Jordan—were standing at the altar. All three ultimately decided not to marry, leaving the season with zero weddings for the first time ever.
Notable Breakouts:
- Megan and Jordan split before the altar, and Megan later welcomed a baby with someone not on the show—another series first.
- Other couples like Kacie and Patrick, Madison and Joe, Annie and Nick also ended things ahead of the ceremonies.
Cast, Drama, and Heartbreak
Season 9 featured a wide mix of Denver professionals, from nurses and accountants to a luxury watch dealer and a UI/UX designer. Hosted as always by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the season’s tagline—“Love is blind… unless you’re blindsided”—came true in dramatic fashion, as the city’s singles struggled to turn emotional bonds into lasting love.
Co-host Vanessa Lachey previously teased “the show’s biggest twist yet,” referencing this unprecedented outcome and Denver’s unique dating culture. As the season progressed, viewers debated whether the show’s structure or the singles themselves were at fault for eight weeks of breakups, shocking rejections, and no fairytale endings.

What’s Next for the “Love Is Blind” Franchise?
Despite the rocky outcomes, Netflix isn’t backing down. Season 10 has already been greenlit—with Boston heavily rumored as the next city. If history holds, viewers can expect a premiere near Valentine’s Day 2026.
Longtime fans will recall that previous seasons produced several lasting relationships. As of 2025, nine couples from seasons 1–8 remain married, with growing families and new milestones keeping the “Love Is Blind” story alive offscreen.
“For the first time, a season of Love Is Blind has ended with zero married couples. We get two nos at the altar and one breakup that happens before we even get to the aisle.” — IMDb
