'Love is Blind' Season 7: Who's engaged? Who's walked away?

Regardless of whether love is blind, it’s certainly messy, especially once couples take it out of the pods on “Love is Blind.”

The seventh season of Netflix’s reality hit dropped its first six episodes dropped last week and, with them, plenty of proposals and questions, namely … who’s engaged and who’s already called it quits?

Alex and Tim: ENGAGED

Fashion content manager Alex and web content strategist Tim, both 32, got deep quickly, with Tim opening up about the premature loss of his two older sisters and Alex about her parents’ battles with multiple sclerosis. The unique perspective he has on mortality informs the way he dates, with Tim telling Alex he doesn’t “want to get married, I want to die married.”

Ashley and Tyler: ENGAGED

Nuclear security officer Tyler, 33, was immediately smitten, telling a friend after date one that 31-year-old marketing director Ashley was “maybe a 12” out of 10. Tyler told the guys she’s the first woman he’s ever regarded as “safe.” And he wants to make her feel the same, even being open to sharing phone passwords.

“I want you to go through it and be more secure, if you want to,” he said. “If I’m telling you I want to marry you, I’m respecting you on every level.”

Brittany and Leo: SPLIT

It wouldn’t be “Love is Blind” without a love triangle, and one this season involves art dealer Leo, 30, and 32-year-old self-proclaimed obvious “trophy wife” Brittany, an esthetician who hosts beach clean-ups.

Unlike plenty of “Love is Blind” personalities, Leo said he’s “not trying to build an influencer career, I’m a rich f–king art dealer,” a role he inherited after the deaths of his parents and grandparents. Barely halfway through the first episode, Leo already found himself torn between Brittany and Hannah, 26, though he feared the former was more invested in his fortune.

“If I wanted to marry for the money, I would’ve married a very long time ago,” said Brittany, who told the viewer she’s “single because I chase fun” and is trying to break away from dating athletes and rock stars.

 

Hannah and Nick: ENGAGED

The youngest man and woman in the pods, these two are a match made in… hope. A former college football player, 28-year-old Nick was promptly flagged by most of the women as a potential playboy. But it was Hannah who caught his ears, and was just as taken in by his “sultry” vibe.

Joking that they could be each other’s Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, the medical saleswoman acknowledged to her pals that Nick will “probably ruin my life” and is a bit too smooth. Nick told his friends Hannah might be the first girl he’s loved and the only person he wants to be with.

Marissa and Ramses: ENGAGED

Opposites attract for 31-year-old Marissa, a lawyer with a military background, and progressive Ramses, 34, who works at a justice reform nonprofit — but not before Marissa had to end things with her connection Bohdan. All it took was a bit of astrology to sway her.

Monica and Stephen: ENGAGED

Stephen, a 34-year-old electrician, and Monica, a 36-year-old sales executive, hadn’t even finished their first date when he copped to having technically cheated. But while that may have been a red flag for some (read: many), Monica appreciated the remorse Stephen showed, and decided they might just have a future — at least for another date.

Taylor and Garrett: ENGAGED

The first hopefuls to get engaged, Taylor, a 29-year-old clean energy policy advocate and her quantum physicist Garrett, 31, immediately bonded over their vastly different experiences with physics as well as science tattoos — a hydrogen symbol for her and a quantum equation for him. It wasn’t long (not even a full episode) before Garrett was boasting “insane” feelings for Taylor and both were alluding to the future they’d envisioned.
