Unhappily Ever After: Here Are the 'Love Is Blind' Couples Who Opted for Divorce

When Love Is Blind made its debut on Netflix back in 2020, fans couldn't help but scratch their heads over this wild love experiment. Dating in pods, never laying eyes on each other, all in the pursuit of tying the knot in just 10 days? It sounds far-fetched, but lo and behold, the reality show has defied expectations, and it's all thanks to Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton's real-life fairytale.

Nevertheless, love is inherently uncertain, regardless of whether it blossoms over months or days. Even for those who commit to their marriages, not every relationship withstands the trials of time. That being said, let's take a closer look at the Love Is Blind couples who ultimately ended up divorcing.

After a year of marriage, Jarrette and Iyanna announced their split on social media on August 17, 2022. According to court documents obtained by E! News, Iyanna filed in Chicago's Circuit Court of Cook County on Sept. 23, 2022, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce. They finalized their divorce that November.

From the very start of Season 2, fans have their reservations about Jarrette and Iyanna getting married. For starters, Jarrette falls in love with co-star Mallory Zapata and ends up proposing to her first. After he is turned down, Jarrette then decides to propose to Iyanna, making her his second choice.

Additionally, once the couples meet up at their shared honeymoon, Jarrette and Mallory are shamelessly flirting with one another in front of their fiancées. Plus, Jarrette and Iyanna's lifestyles seemingly don't align, since she appears to be more introverted with Jarrette being the opposite.

According to legal documents obtained by People, Danielle Ruhl filed for divorce from Nick Thompson on Aug. 15, 2021. The news, which followed the divorce of Jarrette and Iyanna, sent shock waves through social media as many viewers believed that the pair would go the distance.

On September 21, 2022, Danielle took to social media to give a statement about ending her marriage.

"I’ve also learned to love myself and to prioritize surrounding myself with those who love me for who I am," Danielle wrote. "The future is bright and I’m hopeful my next chapter will be the best one yet."

Nick also took to Instagram to share his feelings about the split. "I'm grateful for this experience, the learnings that came, and those yet to come," Nick shared. "I am heartbroken my marriage ended. I know in my heart that I did the best I could and gave it everything I had. I'm optimistic for the future."

The pair make it pretty clear at the beginning of their pod experience that they're invested in one another. While they grow close due to their parental issues, past issues and experiences continue to help their bond grow stronger.

However, once the couple starts life post-pods before tying the knot, issues start to surface. In fact, the pair have a heated argument after a couples' gathering which causes them to question if they should move forward. However, they shake off the incident and decide to make it official. Now, both are focused on moving on and healing.

It's always saddening to witness married couples parting ways. However, prioritizing happiness is crucial, and no one should remain in a situation that jeopardizes it. We extend our best wishes to Jarrette, Iyanna, Nick, and Danielle.

Love Is Blind is now streaming on Netflix.
