Love Is Blind creator addresses the fact no couples from this season are still together
He's still 'proud' of this season
Let’s be honest, this was a major flop season of Love Is Blind with only one couple actually getting married and they’ve now split up, with Sarah filing to divorce John.
However, the creator of Love Is Blind, Chris Coelen, has spoken to Variety about the lack of lasting couples from this season and clearly it’s not anything he’s concerned about.
He shared: “It doesn’t worry me at all. The success of a particular season is not based on how many people end up getting married or staying married or getting engaged. They get engaged ostensibly because they’re in love. That’s extraordinary. But that’s not where it stops. The true test of ‘Love Is Blind’ is with the love that they formed: Is that capable of surviving the real world?”
He’s also seemingly proud that the show has cast a very… diverse range of cast members, and don’t show “cookie cutter” love stories like other dating shows do.
Chris shared: “What I’m really proud of is, we don’t take a position on any of that. Our job is to be a reflection of these particular people’s journeys, and in doing that, I think we’re a really interesting mirror into the society as a whole.
“Going back to season one, and moving forward, you can really feel some of the currents in our culture in terms of the things that matter to the participants in making the biggest choice in their life.”
The Love Is Blind creator previously defended the show after season nine, where not a single couple got married. He told Tudum at the time: “Whether they succeed or fail, the trying is the most enjoyable and important part for me. I’m honestly surprised this is the first season where nobody got married.
“While we’re always rooting for our participants to find a lifelong commitment — because that’s what they all say they come to ‘Love is Blind’ for — most importantly, we root for them to make the decisions they feel are right for themselves. And I think that’s what happened here,” he said.
