It’s been a couple of years now since Love Is Blind season two was filmed and dropped on Netflix – and since then, the cast have been keeping busy.
Spoiler alert: Not a single one of the marriages from this season was successful, with both couples who said yes at the Love Is Blind altar getting divorced. But, lots more has been going on in their lives, too. From new marriages, to podcasts and dating shows – this bunch have been all over the place.
Here’s a catchup with the cast of Love Is Blind season two, to see what they’re all up to now.
Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson
A year after tying the knot, Danielle and Nick filed for divorce. The whole thing turned a bit messy, with Danielle calling Nick out for “talking shit” about her and then them going back and forth making statements about one another. “It really did come down to just personality compatibility differences,” Danielle said of their divorce. She added they “were very amicable and civil at first” but admitted “the divorce process added even more stress and it’s tough on both of us.”
Danielle hangs out with her other cast members a lot, recently sharing pictures of her with Deepti, Iyanna, Mallory and Natalie. She also does a lot of brand deals on Instagram, and recently released some music! Danielle’s Instagram bio says she is currently working in PR and events.
According to Nick’s Instagram, he’s a mental health and wellness advocate, and a news and politics critic. He also hosts a podcast called Conversations with Nick Thompson, and has written a wellness book.

Most recently, Shayne was in the cast of Netflix series Perfect Match, which caused further drama with Natalie, as it was claimed the filming clashed with when they had dated after the show. He didn’t find anyone on Perfect Match, and it looks as though he’s single right now, working in real estate and living in Chicago.
Natalie Lee

In a statement she said she found “flirtatious messages between him and other women” and that was something she couldn’t get over. She also disputed his claim they tried to make the relationship work four times, saying they actually only tried twice after the show.
