The short answer: Both Season 1 couples who married are still married. Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton welcomed their son, Ezra, on October 1, 2025, and Amber Pike and Matt Barnett welcomed a daughter in April 2025. The other engaged couples (Giannina and Damian, Kelly and Kenny, Jessica and Mark, Diamond and Carlton) all split, and several have since married or started families with other partners (Netflix Tudum; Reality Shrine/The Tab).
Love Is Blind Season 1 was filmed in Atlanta in 2018 and released on Netflix in February 2020, weeks before pandemic lockdowns began. It created the template every season since has followed: pods, a proposal through a wall, a trip, the move-in and the altar. Here’s where the original couples are now, based on what they’ve shared themselves and on Netflix’s own tracker.
Love Is Blind Season 1 couples: then and now
| Couple | End of season | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Lauren & Cameron | Married | Still married; son Ezra born Oct 2025 |
| Amber & Barnett | Married | Still married; daughter born Apr 2025 |
| Giannina & Damian | Split at the altar | Not together |
| Kelly & Kenny | Split at the altar | Not together |
| Jessica & Mark | Split at the altar | Not together |
| Diamond & Carlton | Split before the altar | Not together |

Lauren and Cameron: still the franchise’s gold standard
Lauren and Cameron were the first couple in Love Is Blind history to get engaged, and then to marry. They renewed their vows in Las Vegas for their five-year anniversary in November 2023, and they share their life on their YouTube channel, Hangin’ with the Hamiltons, and their podcast, The Love Seat (Netflix Tudum).
In October 2025, after what Tudum calls “a years-long fertility journey,” they became parents. “Our son, Ezra William Hamilton, made his debut October 1st, a little earlier than planned, but perfectly on God’s time,” they wrote on Instagram. They also shared that there had been “an unexpected turn with preeclampsia and a few days in the hospital.”
Cameron spoke about fatherhood at the Season 10 reunion: “She gave me the thing that I wanted the most in this world, which is my son. I look at him every day, and he looks like a little mini me, but he has her eyes, and it’s just another level of love” (Netflix Tudum).
Amber and Barnett: “Barnett or bust,” seven years on
Amber’s “Barnett or bust” became one of the season’s catchphrases, and it worked out. They marked seven years of marriage in November 2025. “Cheers to 7 and 70 more,” Amber wrote on Instagram. Barnett’s reply: “I guess love still is blind.”
In April 2025 they announced the arrival of their “perfect” baby girl. Tudum adds that Barnett and Cameron “have already perfected the art of the dads’ night out” (Netflix Tudum).
Giannina and Damian: “I do not,” then a Bachelor Nation ending
Giannina proposed to Damian in the pods, but at the altar he said, “I do not.” Giannina’s run from the ceremony became one of the show’s most viral moments. They dated again for a while after the show but eventually broke up (Netflix Tudum).
Giannina is now with Blake Horstmann, who appeared on The Bachelorette. Tudum reports they welcomed their first child in April 2024 and got engaged that November. Reality Shrine reports their son is named Heath (Reality Shrine/The Tab). It’s one of the few crossovers between the Love Is Blind and Bachelor worlds.

Damian went on to Season 1 of Netflix’s Perfect Match.
Kelly and Kenny: “I cannot marry you”
Kelly and Kenny bonded in the pods over both growing up with the book Love You Forever. On their wedding day, Kelly told him, “I cannot marry you.” Kelly now hosts a podcast, Chase Life with Kelly, focused on self-love. Kenny married in April 2022, and he and his wife welcomed their first child in June 2025 (Netflix Tudum).
Jessica and Mark: new chapters for both
Jessica left Mark at the altar. Tudum reports that both “found their own happy endings.” Jessica married her partner in August 2022 and had her first child in June 2023, and the family made a surprise appearance at the Season 7 reunion. Her dog, Payton, of the famous sip of wine, “is also very much still in the picture.”
Mark married Aubrey Rainey, and they have two children. In March 2025, he announced on Instagram that they had decided to “part ways” after three years of marriage (Netflix Tudum).
Diamond and Carlton: the ring in the pool
Their engagement ended in Mexico, when Diamond gave Carlton the ring back and he threw it into a pool. Tudum says both are now “finding happiness elsewhere.” Diamond appeared on Season 1 of Perfect Match and bought her first home in June 2024, and she was spotted at the Season 10 reunion. Carlton adopted a Yorkie named Dolce in 2023 (Netflix Tudum).
