The season three finale of Love Is Blind has officially dropped on Netflix, which means fans will finally get to know which couples say “I do” at the altar and which couples don’t live happily ever after.
The third season of Love Is Blind was full of relationship ups and downs after five couples left the pods engaged. Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux were the first couple to get engaged in the pods, followed by Nancy Rodriguez and Bartise Bowden, Raven Ross and SK Alagbada, and Zanab Jaffrey and Cole Barnett. Matt Bolton also proposed to Colleen Reed in the pods.
As the couples started living together and meeting each other’s families, cracks in the surface began to show. Bowden and Rodriguez disagreed over their abortion views, Barnett’s family refused to meet Jaffrey until they were married, and Reed and Bolton got in a heated argument that had viewers telling Reed to “run”. Couples like Alfia and Lemieux seemed poised to get married, but if there’s anything to be learned from the last two seasons of Love Is Blind, it’s to expect the unexpected.
So, who gets married in Love Is Blind season three? Beware, spoilers ahead.
Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux
Since the beginning of season three, Alfia and Lemieux seemed to have formed a genuine emotional connection in the pods, and even a physical one once they met in person. Although the two definitely had their lifestyle differences, their commitment to each other remained solid. In episode 10, Alfia is seen walking down the aisle but a preview for the season finale teased that Brennon might get cold feet.
Everything was smooth sailing for Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux in the season three finale. The two exchanged heartwarming vows and both said “I do” at the altar.
Nancy Rodriguez and Bartise Bowden
This Love Is Blind pairing has caused quite a stir throughout season three. Although Bowden proposed to Rodriguez in the pods, he couldn’t help his physical attraction to ex Raven Ross and even made it known to his fiancée. Things took an even bigger turn when Rodriguez and Bowden disagreed over their abortion views and family planning timelines. In episode 10, viewers watched as Rodriguez walked down the aisle. Rodriguez said “yes” to marrying Bowden, but the episode ended before viewers could see Bowden’s answer.
Now that the season finale has dropped, it’s been revealed that Bartise Bowden says “I do not” to marrying Rodriguez. When the 32-year-old speech pathologist ran away from the altar crying, Bowden pulled her aside and explained that he felt they weren’t ready for the real world. But it was Rodriguez who pulled the plug and called off their relationship entirely. The wedding wasn’t without it’s drama either – the entire affair led to a tense fight between Bowden and Nancy’s brother, Steve.
Raven Ross and SK Alagbada
Perhaps the most shocking moment from episode 10 was when SK Alagbada told Raven Ross he couldn’t marry her. Since Alagbada plans on moving out to California to pursue his graduate degree, he explained that they have a “very unique and complex set of circumstances” in their relationship. The two said they still love each other, but Alagbada felt it was not the right time to get married.
Zanab Jaffrey and Cole Barnett
Zanab Jaffrey and Cole Barnett were the biggest wildcard relationship of season three. The two had many ups and downs, insecurities, and even blowouts leading up to their wedding day. In one shocking moment, Barnett even called Jaffrey bipolar because of her “attitude” and criticism of him.
In the season three finale, Zanab Jaffrey seemed ready to get married – but just not to Cole Barnett. In fact, the 32-year-old flight attendant told off the 27-year-old realtor at the altar. She called him out for critiquing her and lowering her self-confidence, as Jaffrey’s guests applauded her for speaking up.
Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton
Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton seemed to have hit it off in the pods, but things took a turn during their first major fight while on their pre-honeymoon vacation in Malibu with the rest of the cast. Since then, the couple has been thrown off by their disagreements and miscommunications.
While Bolton seemed to have cold feet on the day of their wedding, his nerves melted away once he saw Reed walk down the aisle. During the season finale, the couple said “I do” and were officially married.
All episodes of Love Is Blind season three are streaming on Netflix.
