Matt Bolton And Colleen Reed
Season 3
Matt andColleenare the latestLove Is Blindseparation, announcing their split in May 2025.Rumors had circulated about Matt and Colleenin the weeks leading up to their official announcement, but most of the rumors lacked credibility. As it turns out, the rumors were true.Matt and Colleen made a joint Instagram post announcing they had ended their marriageand had been separated for some time, although the exact length of time is unknown.
Colleen and Matt got engaged not because they had fallen madly in love, but because they both wanted to settle down.
Matt and Colleen were a controversial couple onLove Is Blind.Colleen had a strong connection with Cole Barnett, but he dumped her and proposed to Zanab Jaffrey instead. It seemed like Colleen and Matt got engaged not because they had fallen madly in love, but because they both wanted to settle down. Cracks in their relationship started to show almost immediately. When the engaged couples finally met their exes,Colleen and Cole discussed how they might have been attracted to each otherhad they met another way.
To Matt, this was unacceptable behavior. In his mind, Colleen was his fiancée and, therefore, should not be telling any other men that they’re attractive. Matt was so upset, he threatened to leave Colleen and the show. The conflicts didn’t end there, and audiences were shocked when bothMatt and Colleen agreed to marry each otheron their wedding day.
Matt and Colleen also raised some eyebrows when they announced that, despite being married, they hadn’t moved in together at theLove Is Blindseason 3 reunion. Did they even like each other at all? Eventually, the two did move in together. However, they were never able to shake the questions about their marriage. Because of their tumultuous relationship, it’s not that surprising that Colleen and Matt have decided to end things.
Danielle Ruhl And Nick Thompson
Season 2
Danielle Ruhl and Nick ThompsonmadeLove Is Blindhistory when they became the first couple from the show to file for divorce. They split in 2022, just one year after they got married. According to the duo,there was no infidelity, they just weren’t as compatible as they once thought. In an interview withUS Weekly, Nick shared his side of the breakup:
“As we moved forward and we started integrating our lives together, you start to see sort of some cracks that you don’t see [right away] based on the way that we met.”
Nick and Danielle are evidence thatLove Is Blindseasons shouldn’t end in marriage. Had Nick and Danielle had more time together before the altar, they might have discovered those incompatibilities and neglected to marry at all. This could have saved them a costly divorce.
Since the show, Nick has fought for fair rights and wages for reality TV stars. He alleged that he experienced mistreatment on the set ofLove Is Blind.Now,he’s trying to get cast members classified as employees, and therefore eligible for minimum wage and overtime pay.
Jarrette Jones And Iyanna McNeely
When Jarrette Jones and Iyanna McNeely announced their divorce shortly after Danielle and Nick,Love Is Blindseason 2 became the first and only season with no successful marriages. Unlike in Nick and Danielle’s case, Iyanna eventually admitted there was infidelity in the relationship. Three days before they filmed the “After The Altar” episode ofLove Is Blind, Iyanna received an email detailing Jarrette’s indiscretions. According to Iyanna, the email contained specific details about Jarrette cheating on her.
After reflecting on the marriage further, Iyanna determined Jarrette hadn’t been ready for marriage. To theLove Is Blindaudience, this wasn’t a surprise.Jarrette had been more interested in Mallory Zapata, and only proposed to Iyanna when Mallory chose another man. While manyLove Is Blindcast members develop multiple connections in the pods, it seemed thatIyanna was Jarrette’s second choice, which isn’t a good way to start off a marriage.
Tyler Frances And Ashley Adionser
Season 7
Tyler Frances seemed like the perfect fit for Ashley Adionser, until he revealed an important piece of information that seemed like it might change everything.Tyler claimed he had been a sperm donor for a friend, and there were three children in the world who were biologically related to him. Ashley didn’t think this was a big deal, although it was strange that this information was coming out after they were already engaged. The two decided to wed anyway.
However, the mother of said children, Bri Thomas, took to Instagram to expose the truth about Tyler. While the first child was conceived via sperm donation,Bri claimed the twins were conceived naturally and were unplanned.Tyler, she claimed, was not solely a sperm donor, but was the father of these children. She even claimed she and Tyler were in legal battles regarding custody. Tyler denied the accusations.
While Ashley wanted to give Tyler the benefit of the doubt, she eventually learned the truth. On a fellowLove Is Blindalum’s podcast,Ashley exposed Tyler and explained whythey got divorced. She had found proof Tyler was lying about not being involved in the children’s lives and that she believed he was in fact the father, not a sperm donor. Hopefully Ashley heals from this soon and finds happiness away from Tyler.
