Anna finally addresses where she stands with Patrick after leaving Love Is Blind
She shared a statement after their reunion episode aired
Anna and Patrick finally came face-to-face with each other on Love Is Blind season nine episode nine. They’d been getting to know each other romantically in the pods, with Anna also getting to know Blake, and she’s now released a statement on where they stand.
“This will probably be last and only post about LIB,” she wrote. “With all of the online attention, DMs, hundreds of comments I have to delete daily… This isn’t the attention I wanted by agreeing to participate in the experiment. I tried it, it didn’t work out for me – that’s okay.”
Anna explained on October 8th that she reached out to Patrick and said, “The only thing I cared about was hurting Patrick with how exited the show and I deeply regretted that. Since then him and I have built a friendship that means a lot to me. And that’s all that matters.”
“Although I’m grateful for this experience this was filmed almost 2 years ago and when I left I wanted that chapter to come to a close. Please respect that and give me and my friends and family the privacy we deserve. Remember that we are real people and to be kind,” she added.
During her time in the pods, Anna would repeatedly say how she missed her family at home. She broke down and thought, “What am I doing here?” The night she finally decided to leave, she felt guilty for taking the spot of someone who could have found love in the pods.
“I was a wreck,” she told Tudum. “My eyes were almost swollen shut from crying.” Anna then decided to leave the experiment altogether, and also said that, as her dates with Patrick got more serious, she was concerned about revealing too much on camera.
“I started seeing myself being pretty vulnerable, and it scared me a little bit because this is an intimate part of my brain. These are very sensitive topics for me,” she explained. “I don’t think I regret it because I don’t think the connections were strong enough.”
