Love Is Blind 2026 couples: Who's still together and in love and who's already heading for heartache
We've given our honest verdict on each coupleLove Is Blind is back and this year’s couples have dived in headfirst – but who is set for marriage and who’s heading for heartache?
The series began with 36 singles pulling out all their best lines in the pods as they desperately searched for The One.
By the end of episode six, a solid seven couples remain and they are all poised to walk down the aisle.
But who will actually make it to saying ‘I do’?
As we patiently wait for Netflix to drop the remaining seven instalments, here’s a look at who the couples are and who’s already showing signs of trouble.
Love Is Blind couples – Emma and Mike: Together
After a bad start with Steven (red flag!), Emma set her heart on Connor. However, she was only his second best. He liked Jessica.
In the end, Emma got engaged to Mike and off they trotted to Mexico together. The couple seemed pretty happy by the end of episode six, although they still need to work out something major: kids.
Emma – who is adopted – isn’t sure if she wants children. She fears for the health of any future kids as she has no idea about her birth family’s history. Mike, however, is ready to be a dad.
TVGuide’s verdict: They seem happy but the whole kids roadblock could definitely stop both of them from saying ‘I do’.
Bri and Connor: Heading for heartache
Love triangle warning!
Bri and Connor’s banter together made them the perfect choice for each other in the pods. Connor dabbled briefly with Emma, but picked Bri – aka Breezy – as his Number 1.
Bri insisted he was always her Number 1, too. Until they got to Mexico. By episode 5, Bri was finding herself torn over what could have been with Chris.
After seeing him at the pool, she became quite obsessed with the idea of him not wanting to catch up with her. Cue a massive dose of jealousy on Connor’s part.
In a trailer for the next instalment, Chris’ head appears to have been turned as he starts texting Bri. Eek.
TVGuide’s verdict: Things are about to get seriously messy. There’s good chance Bri could be walking down the aisle with Chris, not Connor, at this rate.
Brittany and Devo: Together
We’re not going to lie, we thought Brittany and Devo made a great couple until they actually saw each other. Brittany exclaiming, “We’re all going to get fat one day” didn’t fill us with much hope from that point onwards.
By Mexico, they were the only couple not ‘at it’. And Brittany seemed to think Devo didn’t fancy her (this is despite her telling him she was saving herself for their wedding night).
Devo likes disappearing off for time by himself, Brittany wants to know where the hell her husband is.
“There’s a lot going on in my head right now,” Devo has warned her. His grandad has just died, so she may need to cut him some slack.
TVGuide’s verdict: Brittany may have already bought a wedding dress, but she needs to pack it away. This couple are doomed.
Ashley and Alex: Heading for heartache
Alex certainly knows how to charm a lady. He won Ashley over very quickly and they arrived in Mexico desperate to jump into bed.
But as the days have gone by, things are turning sour. Alex has made it clear that Ashley isn’t his usual type. His ‘confident’ nature is also staring to grate. Although that could just be on us…
Alex isn’t bothered about starting a new life with someone he’s only just met. He’s moved around playing football, if you don’t already know… Ashley is nervous, though.
In the next episode, Ashley takes Alex home to meet her dad. He tells him: “You’re flashy, you’re very polished. Convince me that you’re real.”
Alex insists: “I am absolutely not it.” Her dad hits back: “That’s not it.”
TVGuide’s verdict: We’re with Ashley’s dad. Alex should just marry himself. He’d be happier.
Jessica and Chris: Heading for heartache
Chris picked Jessica over Emma and they actually seem like a great match. Jessica prefers eating pizza to doing a triathlon, but opposites attract, right?
Sadly. they are definitely heading for heartache.One word: Bri.
Poor Jessica is set to feel the jealousy that Connor is now also feeling. Chris clearly thinks he’s made the wrong choice and has his eyes set back on Bri.
TVGuide’s verdict: Jessica is about to have her heart broken. Poor, Jess!
Amber and Jordan: Together
In real life, Amber and Jordan would definitely not have got together. They seemed like a really odd choice. Yet, surprisingly, once in the pods, romance blossomed.
Amber didn’t massively convince us that she fancied Jordan when she first saw him. But hey, by Mexico they were doing the deed while he was still wearing his sleep apnea mask. So who are we to judge?
But we’re worried for them. Amber has a daughter and Jordan is getting nervous. She’s assured him Emma has a great, hands-on dad, so doesn’t need a father figure.
However, he says in the trailer for the next episode drop: “I’ve never been in a position of being that involved in a kid’s life before. It’s scary.”
TVGuide’s verdict: Taking on someone else’s child is a huge commitment, so we can see why Jordan has cold feet. Marriage takes more than a quick romp in a sleep apnea mask.
Christine and Vic: Together – but why did they go to Malibu?
Christine and Vic instantly bonded in the pods over their troubled childhoods. The pair both endured traumatic events growing up and felt safe enough to share them with each other.
As he proposed, Vic told Christine: “I can’t see you but I see you.” Smooth.
Vic and Christine are still together, as far as we’re aware. But rather than join the others in Mexico, they went to Malibu.
“Why?!” we hear you cry.
Love Is Blind creator Chris Coelen told Netflix’s sister site Tudum: “We’ve never had the resources to send more than six couples to Mexico, but this season, we felt so good about the couples that for the very first time we chose to follow seven of them, producing the biggest season in Love Is Blind history.”
TVGuide’s verdict: Given their jaunt to Malibu, all we have to go on is Vic and Christine’s chats in the pods. They seems a great match, so here’s hoping for wedding bells.
Love Is Blind, episodes 1-6, are available to stream on Netflix now. Episodes 7-9 land on Wednesday February 18, 2026.
