Who’s Still Together From “Love Is Blind” Season 3? Here’s an Update
“Love Is Blind” season three focuses on the journeys of five engaged couples who ultimately decide whether they’ve found their partners for life. But of course, like in previous seasons, not everyone walks away with unconditional love.
While some of the cast – Raven Ross, SK Alagbada, Zanab Jaffrey, Cole Barnett, Bartise Bowden, Nancy Rodriguez, Alexa Alfia, Brennon Lemieux, Colleen Reed, and Matt Bolton – found humor in their cringe-worthy moments from the pods, others are regretful of how their relationships panned out over the season, which wrapped on Nov. 9. However, all roads lead to the infamous weddings episode, aka the season finale, that finally reveals which couples tied the knot and which ones ended their relationships.
“Love Is Blind”‘s season three reunion, which aired after the finale, sheds light on what’s happened since the cast said their “I dos” and “I don’ts,” but the big question on viewers’ minds now: who ended up staying together? Read ahead to find out where all the “Love Is Blind” season three couples are now, and see what they told POPSUGAR about their current relationship statuses.

Ross developed a connection with Bowden early on in the pods, but, ultimately, she and Alagbada got engaged and made it all the way up to their wedding day where they were set to tie the knot. However, despite Ross saying “yes” to marrying Alagbada in the finale, he expressed that he loves her but could not agree to do the same at that moment. “We have a very unique and complex set of circumstances,” Alagbada explained at the altar. “I feel like today is not the best time for us to do this.”
Ross handled the moment graciously and told POPSUGAR in October that she and Alagbada have stayed in contact since filming wrapped. Though she didn’t divulge specifics about the current status of their relationship, she said, “We are doing our little thing. We’re taking our time.”
During the reunion, it was revealed that Alagbada and Ross did continue their relationship after the season finale and are currently dating long distance. Ross lives in Dallas, and Alagbada resides in California, where he’s pursuing his master of business administration degree at the University of California, Berkeley.

Rodriguez and Bowden had a tough road to the altar – from the latter openly admitting his attraction to Ross to the couple butting heads on topics like abortion and financial stability. Ultimately, and shockingly, Bowden is the one who said “no” on their wedding day, leaving Rodriguez and her family fuming. Their wedding turned into a full-on family feud and ended with Rodriguez expressing that she has zero interest in the two rekindling their relationship.
According to Bowden, those feelings haven’t changed much since filming ended last summer. “Since the wedding, Nancy made it clear that there was going to be no future romantic relationship,” he explains to POPSUGAR. “She was very much done with me, which I respected. That was the culmination of our experiment together, and I left her at the altar essentially. We did go through all that together and met up a few weeks after and debriefed everything. We talked about what we’ve been doing since, and we became friends again. Some time has passed since that, but I’d describe our relationship as just as much of a roller coaster as what’s seen on camera. It’s still that way. We’ve gone from friends to acquaintances to completely no communication to disliking each other to back to friends. There [are] still so many emotions; it’s still hard.”
When asked what her current relationship status is, Rodriguez tells us, “I’m totally single.” “I think my biggest focus is making sure that when I healed from that heartbreak,” she adds, “I wanted to make sure I came back to myself. A lot of that was traveling, being able to put myself into work. That’s really been my focus, just grinding and looking forward to the next chapter of whoever that love interest might be. I’m excited for that.”

Jaffrey and Barnett had an admittedly rocky relationship after they left the pods – something the latter took partial responsibility for in an interview with POPSUGAR. Many questioned whether the two would make it to their wedding day, and surprisingly, they did. However, Jaffrey’s huge blowup on Barnett at the altar was a moment viewers didn’t expect to see. “You have disrespected me. You have insulted me. You have critiqued me, and for what it’s worth, you have single-handedly shattered my self-confidence,” she told Barnett.
Reflecting on their breakup, Barnett tells POPSUGAR that he didn’t regret doing “Love Is Blind” but did have guilt about hurting Jaffrey. “I regret the aftermath of our relationship and how bad it was,” he says. “But I don’t regret doing it because I didn’t intend, at any time, to hurt her. I think it came with the territory of the experiment and us not being compatible completely.”
As far as their current relationship statuses, Barnett and Jaffrey both confirmed that they’re still single. “I’m not really wanting to date,” Barnett shares. “It’s so fresh after it all happened, [and] I have a lot to process. It still stings and it still hurts, and I don’t really want to bring all that into a relationship yet. I want to process it and deal with it and get a little closure on it until I start to date again.”
Meanwhile, Jaffrey says she’s “been loving on myself for the past year and a half.” “The man in my life is my therapist, Paul,” she jokes. “I’m not opposed to a relationship. Definitely not forcing anything. Definitely not looking for it. [If a] man wants to show up correct, the DMs are open, so, you know, slide on in. Shoot your shot.”

Reed and Bolton are another couple who had their fair share of drama this season. However, the engaged pair moved past their situation with Barnett and Jaffrey, as well as their other issues, and said “I do” in the season finale. During the reunion, they confirmed that they are still together and gave an update on married life.
“We definitely dealt with a few little day-to-day arguments,” Bolton shared. ” . . . We actually do not live together yet. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s really just doing it on our own time.” Reed added: “We’re very much on the same page. . . . Very complicated kinda situation, but we got married in an unorthodox way, so we’re doing marriage in an unorthodox way.” The two also said that they plan to move in together in a few months.

Alfia and Lemieux are one of few couples (possibly the only one) who seemed like a surefire bet to make it to their wedding day. So it comes as no surprise that they tied the knot in the season finale and got their happily ever after. And we’re happy to report the two are still blissfully married a year later.
“Yes, we are still together,” Alfia tells POPSUGAR. “We are very, very happy. Everything with him, it really was smooth sailing like what you see, and it’s been smooth sailing [since]. Of course, with any marriage, it’s been little disagreements, but every day is very much truly a fairy tale, and there’s no one else that I would go through this life with. He’s my knight in shining armor. He’s perfect.”
Of their marriage, Lemieux also says, “It’s been great.” “Married life for us, we feel like we’re doing it wrong because we’re not having problems,” he adds jokingly. “It’s the easiest thing for us, [and] I don’t know why. We’re still head over heels in love with each other. We still have our arguments and disagreements, absolutely. But it’s so much easier to work through those because our relationship was based on that communication.”
