After the cameras stopped rolling, Love Is Blind stars Leo and Brittany have opened up about their recent breakup, describing their engagement as “awkward.” Fans have been left in suspense, eager to know what transpired between the couple who seemed so hopeful during the show.
In separate interviews, both Leo and Brittany shared their thoughts on their relationship and the reasons for their split. Brittany revealed to People that once they left the pods, “the physical connection just simply wasn’t there.” The show concluded with their big reveal, but an on-screen message indicated that they were “not one of the six couples chosen by producers to continue their journey in Mexico.” Following that, they took a trip to Miami, where they decided to end their engagement just weeks later.
Leo reflected on their time together in Miami, stating, “We had a really wonderful time, but we decided we didn’t see ourselves moving forward with a full engagement leading to marriage. We’re better off as friends.” The executive producer of the show explained their absence from the next phase, stating, “We determine which couples we believe are genuinely invested in saying ‘I do.’ We felt the least likely to do that were Leo and Brittany, so we chose not to follow them after the pods.”
Fans were shocked by their engagement, especially given the dramatic conversation Leo had with another contestant, Hannah, just moments before. Leo described the reveal as “awkward,” noting, “I could tell that as much as I was into her, she was not quite as into me.”
Brittany echoed this sentiment, explaining her feelings as an unexplainable “intuition.” She admitted, “I just knew this wasn’t my husband, and I had to figure that out.”
Hannah, who also spoke with E! News, shared her thoughts on Leo, saying, “He’s a great guy with so much to give. He can be a little dorky at times, and his words might come out strangely, but he’s genuine.” She noted that the show’s editing may not have presented him in the best light.
When asked about the difficult moments captured in the pods, Hannah opened up about her emotional experience, describing it as “traumatic.” She explained, “It’s hard when you’re trying to end things with someone, and they don’t let you. If you know it’s not right and someone is treating you poorly, get out of there.”
Regarding Brittany’s decision to accept Leo’s proposal, Hannah expressed her support, emphasizing, “It’s her relationship, and if that’s what she wants, then that’s what she wants to do.”
As for any contact with Leo since filming, Hannah shared, “Not really, actually.” When asked what she would say to him, she humorously replied, “How many Rolexes do you have?”
As Leo and Brittany navigate their post-show lives, fans are left reflecting on the complexities of love and connection showcased on reality television.
