If you're reading this, then there's a good chance you've already stumbled upon Love Is Blind, Netflix's new reality dating show that just might be the best thing on TV right nowif not in ever. In history. A delicious hybrid of Bachelor in Paradise, The Circle, 90 Day Fianc and Dating in the Dark (yeah, remember that ?), Love Is Blind has contestants talk to each other via individual pods, the goal being to get engaged and married to someone without ever having seen them.
Part of what makes Love Is Blind so good is the cast of characters. (Cameron and Lauren! Please be my parents!) Because you're definitely curious, we tracked down everything we could find about the cast of Love Is Blind, including their Instagram accounts and where they are now.
The Women
Jessica Batten, 34
- Regional manager from Illinois
- See her Instagram
Where she is now: Jessica hinted at her current relationship status in an Instagram post about Love Is Blind, but didn't give anything away. "For me, this one required a massive leap of faith and big time support from the best friends and family," she wrote. "In the end, this experience brought me the friendship of my super courageous and supportive #podsquad co-stars, incredibly talented and genuine crew who became family , and maybe just maybe LOVE."
After meeting Mark IRL, Jessica struggles to find a physical spark with himand to get over her attraction to Barnett. In the trailer for the rest of the season, we see Jessica in a wedding dress (although it's not necessarily at her weddingshe could just be trying one on.) We also see her toasting some friend to the new Mrs. Cuevas...but as of now, it's ultimately unclear whether they go through with the marriage.
Lauren Speed, 32
- Content creator from Detroit
- See her Instagram
Where she is now: According to her Instagram, Laurenwho got engaged to Cameron on the first episode of Love Is Blindhas been a big part of the show's promotional plan . Could that mean she and Cameron are a Love Is Blind success story??? Please say yes. In the trailer for the second installment of Love Is Blind, we see Lauren walking down the aisle in a wedding dress, so that seems promising.
Fans have also found evidence that Lauren and Cameron are still together . And now that we've seen Cameron's house in the second batch of episodes, it definitely seems like his front porch is in the background of some of Lauren's recent Instagram photos...
Amber Pike, 26
- Ex-tank mechanic from Augusta, Georgia
- See her Instagram
Where she is now: She's blond now !
Aly, 36
- Nurse client relations director
Diamond Jack, 28

- See her Instagram
Where she is now: Diamond is working with the Charge Up Campaign, "a non-profit organization that supports, educate, empowers, and celebrates men, women, and youth who have fought against health, social, and economic concerns due to the impact of cancer," according to her Instagram .
We're gonna go out on a limb and guess that she and Carlton didn't get back together after their explosive fight about his sexuality.
Giannin a Gibelli, 25
Where she is now : Doing a lot of modeling . In the trailer for the second installment of Love Is Blind, we see Damian tearing up while wearing a wedding-esque suit...but we also see a blond bride running out of the ceremony and down the street in her wedding dress. A blond bride who looks an awful lot like Giannina.
LC, 26
- Recruiter
Kay Nicole, 30
- Administrative manager
- See her Instagram
Kelly Chase, 33
- Health coach
- See her Instagram
Where she is now: She's pretty actively promoting the show in her Instagram stories, which makes ya think...could she and Kenny still be together and in love? We need to know! In the trailer for the second installment, we see Kelly standing at the end of an aisle, so that seems promising.

Love these guys. Remember me when youre megafamous, carlton #loveisblindnetflix #LoveIsBlind #cast #goingstraightforthevodka @LoveisBlindShow @netflix pic.twitter.com/4pjKRx5TdA Andrew Rickert (@AndyTriesTweets)
Where he is now: Andy may not have moved forward with an engagement on Love Is Blind, but the show did lead to him finding a relationship, albeit indirectly. In an Instagram post shortly after the show dropped on Netflix, Andy explained how he met his now-girlfriend, Kelsey, through fellow cast member Danielle Drouin. (Danielle brought Kelsey to a dinner with other Love Is Blind cast members, and the pair bonded over their love of eggs in ramen.)
"I might not have found love on a reality show, but a reality show did help me find love," he wrote in the caption. "Happy Valentines day babycakes."
