He's filled with pride
Anyone watching Love Is Blind season eight will likely recall the show being filled with messy drama. But, aside from the gossip, there are actually some super wholesome takeaways from the Netflix series. The season eight episodes have wrapped, and now Daniel is sharing his inspiring real reason for going on the show.
Daniel was inspired to join Love is Blind
During Love Is Blind, Daniel Hastings and Taylor Haag found a true connection. They got married on the show and are still happily together.
Minneapolis resident Daniel said he was compelled to join Love Is Blind for a very important reason.
Speaking during season eight, Daniel said: “My sister was born blind, she just loves people without seeing them. If I could just be a little bit like her, that would be cool.”
Now, Daniel’s sister, Rachel Hastings, is sharing her inspirational story with the world via WCCO CBS Minnesota.
She’s a music therapist, as well as a weightlifter, marathon runner, and scholar.
Rachel has a condition called bilateral coloboma. She explains she can “usually tell if the sun’s out, but not much other than that.”
Speaking of Love Is Blind, she said she thought the concept was “beautiful.”
People who watched season eight will recall seeing Rachel sing and play the piano during Daniel and Taylor’s wedding.
The moment had people in tears because it was so touching. Daniel said it was wonderful to see his sister “put on a pedestal.”
The Love Is Blind star is super proud
Speaking on WCCO CBS Minnesota, Daniel said he was “so proud” of his sister.
“It’s exciting to see her get the recognition that I knew she deserved,” Daniel continued.
He added how “growing up with Rachel, I knew how incredible of a person she was and that she is.”
The Love Is Blind star said he’s pleased everyone now gets to see how great his sister is.
Adding of the things he’s learned in life from having a sister with a disability, Daniel said he now “sees the person who’s off to the side maybe, or a bit different…”
Taylor also said that she feels “very fortunate” to have Rachel in her life now that she’s married to Daniel.
