The ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 2 Cast Tell Us What They’re Up To

Who’s still together? Who’s single? Can someone check on the hot dog costume?

By Lydia WangNov 2, 2022

Love is patient, kind, chaotic, messy... but is it really blind? Can a 10-day experiment actually lead to genuine, lasting love? If you still have questions after watching more than one Love Is Blindcastmate ditch a fiancé at the altar, the postseason reunion episode might clear a few things up — and we asked this season’s daters to fill in the blanks about how they’re doing today. Here’s where the happy couples, singles and self-proclaimed “villains” stand after watching their relationships play out on-screen.

Iyanna and Jarrette have decided to divorce.

While their bond continued to prove strong months after filming, the pair have agreed to end their marriage. “While we have love for each other, our lives are going in different directions, and that’s okay. Coming to this decision was far from easy and we will always wish each other the absolute best,” they both posted on Instagram in August 2022. “[...] This experience has taught us so much about ourselves, vulnerability and love. We don’t regret a single thing!”

Danielle and Nick have also called it quits.

These two had some rocky moments after leaving the pods, but ultimately their connection prevailed, thanks to open communication and couples therapy. “We’re doing good these days,” Nick told Tudum. “We’ve moved in together, we’ve brought our dog and cat under the same roof. We’ve got some trips that we’ve done.”

Danielle added that things had been smoother without an on-camera wedding on the horizon. “After the pressure of having to say yes or no went away, it was like this cloud had been lifted and we were finally able to have the relationship that we had in the pods,” she says. “All of the fears that we had about being married, it was harder to talk through them than it was to live through them. And now, our lives are integrated, our dogs and cats are integrated, our friends are integrated, our families are integrated — and so it’s better than I could have even anticipated.”

However, the couple filed for divorce on Aug. 22, a little over a year after getting married. Danielle posted a statement on Instagram, writing, “It has taken some time to publicly speak about my marriage ending, as emotions are still raw. However, I will always appreciate those who have followed my journey and continue to support me throughout this entire experience. [...] No matter what, I’ll always care for Nick and appreciate our time together. Our experience together will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Danielle adds that things have been smoother without an on-camera wedding on the horizon. “After the pressure of having to say yes or no went away, it was like this cloud had been lifted, and we were finally able to have the relationship that we had in the pods,” she says. “All of the fears that we had about being married, it was harder to talk through them than it was to live through them.

Deepti is thriving.

Following her dramatic breakup at the altar (and some equally dramatic moments at the reunion), Deeps is single and doing better than ever. “I think from the show airing, I’ve just emotionally grown so much, and I’m in a really good, happy place,” she says. “I am doing amazing in life.” You love to see it.

Shake, meanwhile, is focusing on his career. “I found an awesome clinic to work at, maybe one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. The people there are amazing, the clients there are amazing, and I’m as happy as could be from a career standpoint,” he says.

Natalie and Shayne are both doing well too.

After filming the reunion, Natalie and Shayne both took to Instagram to clarify that they’re on positive terms. “Even if I did this experiment a thousand times knowing the outcome, I would have always chosen you,” Natalie wrote. In his own post, Shayne described feeling “remorseful” as he watched their story back, and shared that he would “never stop loving” Natalie. He also clarified that, no, a romantic relationship with Shaina is not on the table, even though they’re “cordial.”

No matter how their story continues to play out, Natalie says she’s doing great. “I think I’m in a really happy place... after the emotional turmoil from the experiment,” she says. “It’s just amazing how much I’ve learned about myself and what I want from a relationship and partner, and I feel like I’ve just grown a lot.” Shayne adds that he recently moved back to Chicago to help his mom out at home and continue his work as a realtor.

Mallory and Salvador have parted ways.

After saying “I don’t,” these exes discussed the possibility of giving their relationship another shot off-camera, but they aren’t together today. “I’m doing really well, just kind of focusing on myself,” Mallory says. “At the end of the day, I came on this because I want to get married, I want a marriage, and I think just realizing that, you know what, I haven’t really taken the time to heal parts of myself. And so that’s something that I’m focused on right now.”

A reunion wasn’t in the cards for Shaina and Kyle, either.

This duo didn’t make it to the altar — Kyle’s atheism was a deal breaker for Shaina, and she seemed to have lingering feelings for Shayne after leaving the pods. Today, Shaina is focusing on “family, friends and, honestly, just work.” Kyle, meanwhile, did gain something from this experience — a friend in Deepti.
