Warning: This article contains Love Is Blind spoilers.
The first six episodes of Love Is Blind Season 7 dropped early Wednesday, and we have the scoop on how our Virginian singles are faring. Here’s a rundown of their journeys so far.
Garrett and Taylor: A Science-Fueled Connection
Garrett, 33, a quantum physicist from Fredericksburg, and Taylor, 30, a clean energy policy consultant, instantly bond over their shared love for science — they both even have tattoos dedicated to it. Their connection leads to an engagement, and they emerge as one of the most compatible couples of the season so far.
Nick D. and Hannah: Chemistry or Chaos?
Nick D., 29, a real estate agent from Vienna, struggles right from the start, as many women in the pods find him too flirty and appearance-focused. Despite this, Hannah, 27, a medical sales rep from Alexandria, begins to fall for him — though she has her eye on someone else as well: Leo.
Leo, 31, an art dealer also from Alexandria, is caught between Hannah and Brittany, 33, an esthetician. When Leo is unable to make up his mind, Hannah leaves the pods engaged to Nick D., who professes his love for her. Leo’s last-minute attempts to win Hannah back ultimately fail. Left without a choice, Leo proposes to Brittany, but Hannah warns her about Leo’s sincerity before the engagement.
Outside the pods, Nick D. and Hannah hit rocky waters. She finds Nick D.’s flirty nature difficult to handle, which results in frequent arguments fueled by jealousy and mistrust. Despite their struggles, they’re sticking it out, for now.
Brittany and Leo: A Brief Engagement
Leo and Brittany get engaged, but their engagement is short-lived. The couple isn’t selected for the engaged couples’ trip to Mexico, and they break up shortly after this revelation.
Ramses, Marissa, and Bohdan: A Love Triangle
Ramses, 35, who works at a justice reform nonprofit in Arlington, finds himself in a love triangle with Marissa, 32, a lawyer, and Bohdan, 36, a former Marine. After an intense back-and-forth, Marissa ultimately chooses Ramses, sending Bohdan home.
Stephen and Monica: An Unlikely Connection
Stephen, 34, an electrician from Centreville, falls for Monica, 37, a Virginia Tech graduate from Ashburn, even though Monica admits he’s not her usual type. The couple experiences some turbulence after leaving the pods, as Stephen appears somewhat clueless about romance. It’s too soon to tell if they’ll make it.
Tim and Alexandra: Grief and Communication Issues
Tim, 33, from Ballston, and Alexandra, 33, a VCU graduate, share a deep connection in the pods after Tim opens up about the loss of his two older sisters. However, outside the pods, the couple struggles with communication. By the end of episode six, they are seen arguing and a breakup is on the table.
Tyler and Ashley A.: A Faith-Based Foundation
Finally, we have Tyler, 34, and Ashley A., 32, both from Arlington. Their relationship is built on shared faith-based values, and they appear to be the least problematic couple on the show, fully committed to each other from the start.
