Love Is Blind divorces: The messy weddings that broke down after the show
Not all who said ‘I do’ managed to make it work
Since the show first started, there have been a few Love Is Blind weddings that have ended in divorces. I mean, the wild social experiment was never going to have a 100 per cent success rate, was it?
In Netflix’s favour, getting married sight unseen seems to have worked out surprisingly well, as an overwhelming majority of couples who said “I do” when they finally got down to the altar, have stayed together. However, there have been a few messy breakups following the weddings, and a couple of trips to court to get it cancelled out.
Two couples from Love Is Blind have ended their marriage with divorces since the show first started – here’s a rundown of what went down between them.
Danielle and Nick
Danielle and Nick got married in season two, but unfortunately it ended in them getting a divorce. Their split quickly turned sour, when they both started talking out about each other in interviews.
Kicking off the drama, Danielle spoke to E! News about Nick and claimed he was taking no responsibility for the breakdown of their marriage.“There has been no accountability from his side,” she said. “I wanted to make sure that it was noted that it takes two, but unfortunately, with every interview, he is putting all of the blame on me and this isn’t new. This was something he did the entire relationship.”
Speaking to People Magazine, Nick then clapped back and said: “It’s hurtful to hear these comments. It’s disappointing that Danielle chooses to make false claims and defamatory comments about me and our relationship. It’s especially hurtful because she knows firsthand how difficult being in the public eye is.

“As I have stated before, I implemented a boundary to not engage in communication with Danielle for my own mental health because I did not feel like our communication was trustworthy or yielding positive outcomes.”
Danielle then called their divorce a “bloodbath” because Nick had been “chatting shit” about her and their fellow cast members. Danielle claimed Nick had been “silencing” her and “taking extreme measures to take me down” and “control the narrative” surrounding their split. She accused him of making false statements in interviews, and said he was trying to “get attention” in the media.
In a statement to The Tab, Nick said he didn’t know how to defend himself against such claims, and was trying to avoid negativity to protect his well-being.
Iyanna and Jarrette
Season two really didn’t end that well, as Iyanna and Jarrette from then got a divorce, too. At first, the couple didn’t really address what had happened to caused the break down of their marriage, but then Iyanna posted an emotional video reflecting on the relationship.
Then, of course, controversial season two cast member Shake Chatterjee decided to pipe up, and make comments about her video. “Cry me a river Iyanna,” he posted on Instagram. “You and your ex had no problem blasting me with the world watching but now that you’re the one under pressure it’s the show’s fault?” He then followed up with another Instagram post calling Iyanna a “snotty brat”.
Iyanna then claimed Jarrette cheated on her, which was partly the reason behind their divorce. “It was literally three days before After the Altar was filming [that I found out],” she said. “He brought her and her friend to our home.”
In a podcast, Jarrette seemed to confirm other women did visit their marital home, but denied cheating. “I’ve apologised time and time again to Iyanna about that,” he said. “That alone was poor decision-making on my end, and I understand that. I take accountability for that; it should have never happened.” But Jarrette said he “did not touch this woman.”
