“Love Is Blind” Couples Now: Who Said 'I Do' After Leaving the Pods — and Are They Still Together Today?

A lot unfolds from the time Love Is Blind couples leave the pods to when they step back into the real world.

Since the reality dating show first premiered on Netflix in 2020, dozens of single men and women have entered the pods in search of love, getting engaged to their match before ever seeing them face-to-face — all in an experiment to determine whether love can truly be blind. (Spoiler alert: 11 couples still together today would say yes!)

Eight seasons later, many of those couples have split and had their fair share of dramatic moments in and out of the pods, from Jessica Vestal's iconic breakup speech to the infamous sleep test incident that led to Monica Davis and Stephen Richardson's split in season 7.

But Love Is Blind has also seen numerous success stories, and many couples went from on-screen weddings to expanding their families in the years that followed. Most recently, season 8's Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings from Minneapolis, Minn., said "I do."

Here's the status of every Love Is Blind couple, including who is still together and who has broken up.

Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings, Season 8

Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings got engaged after finding an immediate connection with each other in the pods. For a moment, it seemed too good to be true when Haag accused him of following her on Instagram before they came on the show.

However, it was quickly debunked and it was smooth sailing ahead for the couple.

The pair were the only season 8 couple to say "I do," and revealed at the reunion that they were going strong. Not only did Daniel show off a new tattoo of Taylor's eyes on his chest, but the couple also shared that they recently bought their first home together in the suburbs of Minneapolis.

"Daniel is my very best friend, we are laughing all the time ... we just have so much fun together and I'm authentically myself," Taylor said.

Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley, Season 8

Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley made it to the altar in season 8, but when it came time to say "I do," the bride chose to instead walk away from the relationship and told him she was "just not ready."

She shared to the cameras later that there were "depths of our relationship we didn't get to" and that she "didn't like that we had differences in politics."

At the reunion, Virginia elaborated further on their split in a heated confrontation in which she accused him of hiding a $1,000 wedding gift check, which contributed to some trust issues.

Ben Mezzenga and Sara Carton, Season 8

Ben Mezzenga and Sara Carton made it to the altar in season 8 after finding an immediate connection in the pods. But at the altar, Sara said she couldn't marry Ben because she's "always wanted a partner to be on the same wavelength" and didn't feel that they aligned.

Ben offered to stay with Sara and "grow" their relationship, and while she seemed caught off guard and hesitant at the time, she revealed at the reunion that they gave it another shot post-show.

They continued to live together for nearly two weeks, but she claimed he ended things out of the blue right as they were planning to move in together in Nashville.

Sara later told PEOPLE that his actions gave her "clarity of who Ben is," adding, "I was shocked and I felt super duped that he just waited for the time just to drop me."

Joey Leveille and Monica Danús, Season 8

Joey Leveille and Monica Danús were among the first couples to get engaged in the pods during season 8.

Despite some obstacles like a joking disagreement over a family sock bin and Monica's sister's disapproval, the pair made it to the altar but did not tie the knot. Both admitted they weren't ready, having never fully expressed their love for each other.

However, at the reunion, Monica shared her embarrassment watching the season back, feeling it was obvious Joey lacked romantic interest in her all along — and revealed that she learned post-show that he "slid into another one of the cast member's DMs" ahead of their wedding.

Dave Bettenburg and Lauren O’Brien, Season 8

In the pods, Dave Bettenburg found himself in a love triangle with two women: Lauren O'Brien and Molly Mullaney. He left the pods engaged to Lauren, but things went downhill as soon as they returned to Minnesota.

Dave's inner circle of friends and family learned that Lauren had been seeing a man before coming on the show. Though Lauren insisted they weren't in a relationship, Dave couldn't get past it and the pair split before making it to the altar.

At the season 8 reunion, Dave apologized to his former fiancée, confirming that the man had allegedly been "planting this idea" in his friends' and sister's head, "knowing it would get back to me."

He then told PEOPLE that he "still [has] feelings for her" and said that once "all this blows over," there is a chance of them rekindling if she were to feel the same.

However, Lauren told PEOPLE one week earlier that while she doesn't hold a grudge for how he treated her, "there's not a path forward for us in terms of a romantic relationship."

Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans, Season 7

While Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans were falling in love with each other in the pods, viewers were gaining their own admiration for the couple from the Netflix screen. The pair said "I do" at the altar and have been living their happily ever after since.

"While I had hoped for mutual understanding and transparency in our relationship, it has become clear that our paths are no longer aligned, making it impossible for me to continue in this marriage," Ashley told PEOPLE in a statement at the time.

She added, "This was not a decision I made lightly, but one I know is necessary for my own growth and peace."

During the season 7 reunion, the pair discussed their dramatic breakup face to face, and Ramses admitted that the split came down to the fact that he felt a "space" in their energies.

"There was one day where it really hit home for me and I realized and recognized if I move forward with Marissa, every day I would be in a place where I would feel exhausted and overwhelmed," he said during the reunion.

"I don't want to change who she is," he added. "She deserves a person and a love that will embrace who she is fully ... I just felt that person couldn't be me."

Brittany Wisniewski and Leo Braudy, Season 7

Brittany Wisniewski and Leo Braudy got engaged in the pods, but when it came to the big reveal, it was rather ... awkward.
