‘Love Is Blind’: Where the couples and singles are now

Reality TV

Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not proceed unless you’ve watched all episodes from Season 2 of “Love Is Blind.”

The sophomore season of “Love Is Blind” may have ended with two couples saying “I do,” but there were plenty of tears as the other engaged pairs parted ways at the altar.

So, what happened after the show wrapped? Page Six is breaking down everything we know about where the couples and singles are now.

NATALIE LEE & SHAYNE JANSEN

In an exclusive interview with Page Six, Natalie revealed that she and Shayne tried to give their romance another chance once filming ended.

“Shayne and I continued our relationship after the wedding,” she recalled. “A week after the wedding, we decided to give it another shot without the pressures of marriage and without the cameras.”

Despite their attempt to rekindle the tight bond they formed in the pods, they ultimately decided to go their separate ways (at least romantically) for good.

“We ended it pretty amicably and we are friends right now,” she told us. “I wish him all the best.”

Natalie stayed mum on her current relationship status, telling Page Six, “In terms of my dating life, I’ll be coy. I’m really focusing on loving myself and just kind of seeing where life takes me.”

SALVADOR PEREZ & MALLORY ZAPATA

Like Shayne and Natalie, Sal and Mal also met up once filming wrapped.

“Mallory and I went on a date … and we felt like we had talked about everything, we felt like we had experienced everything we needed to,” he told us.

“At the end of the day, it just wasn’t there. We respectfully were very civil about it and just parted ways.”

Sal revealed he is currently seeing someone. While he didn’t share his new partner’s name, he confirmed it’s not Mal.

“I have been using everything I’ve learned from this experience and I’m focusing on my self-love, too,” he shared. “But I am talking to somebody.”

DEEPTI VEMPATI & ABHISHEK “SHAKE” CHATTERJEE

Deepti, who said “I don’t” to Shake at the altar, admitted to Page Six that watching the show back and hearing the way her ex spoke about her was really “tough.”

“Some of the things he said were just completely disrespectful, even to a friend,” she said. “So, yeah, it’s been tough watching it back but I’m trying to put it in the past and just move forward.”

She continued, “I’m kind of focusing on myself, but I’m so open to like – if I meet someone organically and naturally, I just happen to stumble upon them, I’m not going to deny that.”

Shake, meanwhile, also appears to be single and made it clear that he has no regrets about his behavior on the show.

“One thing I don’t feel inclined to do is pretend I’m sad or sorry about certain things — certain things that were out of my control, certain things that I can’t necessarily even speak about,” he said in an Instagram video. “I’m just not going to do that. I’m not sorry.”

IYANNA MCNEELY & JARRETTE JONES

We’re happy to report that this fan-favorite couple is still going strong!

“It definitely feels good that we were able to navigate this journey together,” Jarrette gushed in his interview with Page Six. “I think the biggest challenge that we’ve worked on is just integrating our lives together as one.”

“We were two individuals who are completely, for the most part, opposite … with her being an introvert, and me being an extrovert,” he continued. “I think that’s something we’re constantly going to continue to work on.”

Iyanna revealed that after the show wrapped, she reached out to Season 1 couple Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton for advice on how they continued to make their marriage work off-camera.

“[I asked], ‘How do we survive this?’ because I knew it was probably going to be overwhelming,” she shared. “Cameron was able to offer quite a bit of advice. He was so helpful and really put me at ease.”

As for whether they would nominate any of their own single friends to do the show next? “My friends aren’t crazy enough for this!” Iyanna joked.

NICK THOMPSON & DANIELLE RUHL

Nick and Danielle are another “Love Is Blind” success story, as the two are still happily married and living together nearly a year later.

The two admitted to Page Six that finding “structure” outside of the pods has been difficult, but they’ve made it work by “duplicating” what worked well for them throughout the experiment.

“It led to a lot of traveling. It led to spending a lot of time with friends and family, and actually scheduling that,” Nick told us. “We made sure we kept on a little bit of a routine, so that we could continue to build on the foundation that we had.”

Looking back at their time on the show, Danielle said she would tell herself (and others) “not to question” feelings.

“Because it is such a surreal environment that no one else could understand, how strong the feelings are that you develop,” she explained. “Yes, I’m an overthinker, but there were certain instances where I was like, ‘Am I really feeling this much love this quickly? Like, what?’”

She continued, “So being able to just, like, let yourself feel the way you feel without second guessing it, and trusting your gut.”

SHAINA HURLEY & KYLE ABRAMS

These two called off their engagement before they even made it to the altar, and needless to say, it doesn’t seem like they have plans to reconnect romantically anytime soon.

Shaina revealed earlier this week that she’s actually in a “serious” relationship with someone else, a mystery man she described as “awesome” and supportive.

“I’m actually in a relationship. It’s pretty serious,” she told “Bachelor” alum Nick Viall on an episode of his “The Viall Files” podcast. “He’s been great throughout the whole situation. I’m happy.”

As for Kyle? Well, he’s just trying to survive the intense Season 2 reunion, where things got heated between he and Shake.

“Hey @KyleAbrams10. You’re a serial cheater and everyone in Chicago knows it,” Shake alleged via Instagram after filming wrapped. “Hope your 6 pack makes up for your lack of loyalty.”

The “Love Is Blind” Season 2 reunion is streaming now on Netflix.
