After a season that ended with just two couples making it to the altar — and only one pair saying “yes” — Netflix aired the highly anticipated reunion special for the sixth iteration of Love Is Blind Wednesday night.
Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the episode reunited season six cast members Amber Desiree, aka “AD,” Amy, Brittany, Chelsea, Jessica, Sarah Ann, Clay, Jeramey, Jimmy, Johnny, Kenneth and Trevor in person with Laura joining from Barcelona via satellite. Some of the series’ past success stories — Brett and Tiffany, Chelsea and Kwame, Alexa and Brennon, and Colleen and Matt — were also in attendance in the audience along with past cast members Micah, Izzy and Gianna (Gigi).
Gigi shared the first big news of the night, announcing her pregnancy with her current partner, Blake, with whom she’s expecting her first child. And Amy and Johnny, the only couple to marry this season, showed up holding hands as steady as they were throughout the entire season of the show. But there were a number of far less happy surprise details to follow during the episode. Read below for the top revelations about the cast from the Love Is Blind season 6 reunion.
Jeramey and Sarah Ann
At the end of episode nine, Laura and Jeramey’s engagement came to an end when he returned home at 5:00 a.m. after claiming to have only been talking with another cast member whom he’d connected with in the pods, Sarah Ann. Their reunion was prompted by a DM Sarah Ann sent to Jeramey while he was still engaged saying she would love to meet him, and at a lake party with the cast in the following episode, Jeramey and Sarah Ann went riding off into the sunset on jet skis together and haven’t separated since. After joining the rest of the season six cast on stage, Sarah Ann told Nick, “We’ve been dating for almost a year now; We live together.”
Jeramey’s status with Sarah Ann wasn’t the only relationship he had to answer to, however. When questioned about a woman on social media whose mother said they were engaged while he was on the show, he said, “It’s not true. Yes, I was previously engaged. Everybody I dated was well aware of that. I sold my house and I did go ahead and apply [for the show] after I was out on my own doing my own thing.”
Sarah Ann had to answer to her own interrogation, as Jessica and Laura took her to task for not being a “girl’s girl” and “making a mockery” out of Laura and Jeramey’s engagement with her inappropriate contact with Jeramey. In the end, Sarah Ann apologized to Laura, and Jeramey finally took the accountability for his actions that his ex-fiancé had been seeking.
Trevor
Trevor was another cast member who had to answer for a relationship he allegedly had in the real world while he was dating in the pods. Confronted with screenshots of text messages he sent to the woman telling her that he loved her and was going to marry her, Trevor, seemingly embarrassed, confessed, “I guess I’ll start by saying that I was not dating her technically, like I never said, ‘Will you be my girlfriend?’ before the show started but, obviously, we were close. She was the typical girl I’d go for in real life and I told her before, ‘I want to go on this to try to experiment with something else.’”
Admitting to behavior he labeled as “toxic,” Trevor later added, “There’s no justifying it. I wanted to do this. I wanted to meet somebody I wouldn’t go for in real life.”
Chelsea, who’d connected with Trevor in the pods, took the news in stride, noting there was a reason she didn’t choose him that she couldn’t put her finger on and now she knew what it was.
Clay and AD
Clay and AD made it to their wedding day in the final episode of Love Is Blind, but after AD said “yes” to tying the knot, Clay shockingly told her he wasn’t ready at the altar. Asked whether he would’ve done anything differently, Clay confessed he’s been in therapy since appearing on the show, and told Nick, “I couldn’t get out of my own way. I just kept looking at myself in the mirror like, ‘I’m not the guy that deserves love and marriage,’ and AD really seen me through. She’s honestly the love of my life and I will tell you honestly, I did make a mistake going to the altar and saying ‘no.’”
Visibly upset as he talked, when AD was asked how she felt about what Clay shared, she responded, “It’s like what am I supposed to do with that information?” She then confronted her former fiancé, telling him, “You played in my face, Clay, because you knew you didn’t want to get married.”
Despite her anger in the moment, when asked if she’d be open to dating again, AD playfully answered, “Next question.” Clay, on the other hand, responded without hesitation, “One thousand percent.”
Jessica and Jimmy
Though Jimmy chose Chelsea over Jessica in the pods, the two have remained friends since the show, or so Jessica thought, as she tells Jimmy during the reunion, calling him out for a recent interview in which she felt he threw her under the bus about their past dating relationship. Jimmy, still struggling to express himself, which was a source of frustration for Jessica in the pods, claimed to simply be answering questions about why he didn’t choose her, noting, “The way you talk to me,” as one of the reasons, which was met with a response of rolled eyes from Jessica. The two went back and forth on their differing opinions regarding the details of their final date, to the point producers had to play back parts of the footage. Still, in the end, they came to no resolution on the cause of their demise.
Kenneth and Brittany
Kenneth and Brittany were the first couple to call it quits during season six after Brittany called out Kenneth’s lack of affection, and he failed to put up a fight to stay together and work on their connection. Addressing accusations from viewers that he didn’t care about their relationship, Kenneth said he called Clay “in shambles” after breaking up with Brittany, explaining his lack of emotion on-screen by saying, “Everyone processes things differently.”
The pair have been seen on social media together in recent days, prompting speculation of a romantic reunion. However, after sharing they talk to each other on the phone every day, Brittany said, “Although we’re no longer in a relationship together, the bond we have is going to last for an eternity and I’m happy with that.”
