'Love Is Blind': Inside Chris and Johnie's Romance Outside of the Pods (SPOILERS)

Spoiler warning: This article contains spoilers for Season 5 of Love Is Blind.

There are some Love Is Blind moves that just make you want to yell at your screen, and when Season 5’s Johnie breaks things off with Chris to pursue Izzy, that’s one of them. Especially since, shortly after she decides to see Izzy exclusively, he decides he would rather be with Stacy. But in Episode 7, we learn that Johnie and Chris are dating. So, are they still dating?

Since filming for the fifth season of Love Is Blind happened quite some time before it actually premiered on Netflix, there are some hefty social media clues that tell us where almost everyone is today. And yes, that includes Johnie and Chris.

In Episode 7, we learn that Johnie and Chris met once the pod part of the experiment was over. And when they did, they realized the feelings were still there. And by the time they meet up with the rest of the group in Episode 7, with just a few weeks until he engaged couples’ weddings, Chris is still in love with Johnie.

However, outside of the show, things took a turn. Judging by Instagram, it's clear Chris and Johnie aren't together anymore. Neither are featured on each other’s accounts (which is to be expected, to spare their followers from spoilers). But the photos they do post show them both traveling to totally different parts of the world, and many of Johnie's pictures now feature another man.

Johnie has been dating Alex Yovanovic for over a year now. Alex is a structural aerospace engineer and graduated from Texas Tech, per his Instagram bio.

Chris had also moved on from Johnie, though it appears he may now be single based on a quick scroll through his Instagram page. In February 2023, a woman tagged Chris in a Valentine's Day post. She wrote in the caption, "To my valentine. I love you!" And in the comments, Chris replied that he loved her too. While that was at the beginning of 2023, neither Chris nor his then-girlfriend posted about each other since then.

Johnie and Chris join the other couples, and the still single cast members, for a get together in Episode 7. And, despite Johnnie wishing Stacy and Izzy the best, Izzy confronts Johnie about the way she broke things off with Chris. Izzy thinks that Johnie doesn't deserve Chris and he tells her so. He also tells her that other people feel the same way.

This, understandably, brings Johnie to tears. And in the following episode, Johnie also gets a mouthful from Stacy.

Although Love is Blind didn't provide Johnie or Chris with the love match they were hoping for, Johnie certainly seems pleased these days with how things turned out.
