Elissa revealed to Tudum<\/a> that she and Miguel did get engaged on Love Is Blind, but that he pulled the rug from under her feet.<\/p>\n She recalled: “After so much time, I felt more chemistry with Miguel than with Jordan, which started to become more of a friend vibe. That\u2019s why I went to Miguel.”<\/p>\n The two went on to get engaged, but they weren\u2019t chosen to continue in the experiment.<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cWe got engaged. We did the reveal, and it was awesome. Right away when we saw each other \u2014 it was chemistry, like I thought it would be.”<\/p>\n However after they returned to Ohio,\u00a0Elissa claims Miguel blindsided her with the news that he planned to move to Tampa the very next day. Plus, Miguel was apparently weirded out by Elissa knowing his former fianc\u00e9e.<\/p>\n She added: \u201cHe stole this experience from me. It was really hard afterward. Since that day, we haven\u2019t talked. That was it.\u201d<\/p>\n Love Is Blind creator Chris Coelen also confirmed their engagement and told Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, explaining: “We actually had eight couples get engaged, and followed seven of them. The eighth couple, who we did not follow, broke off their engagement the next day.”<\/p>\n For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like\u00a0<\/i>Reality Shrine<\/a><\/i>\u00a0on\u00a0<\/i>Facebook<\/a><\/i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The whole thing was cut from the final edit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":249734183,"featured_media":45575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1358],"tags":[1528,1438],"class_list":["post-45565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-love-is-blind","tag-netflix"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/02\/11\/elissa-and-miguel-allegedly-got-engaged-on-love-is-blind-but-it-was-cut-for-this-shocking-reason\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Elissa and Miguel actually got engaged on Love Is Blind but broke up the next day, here’s why","url":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/02\/11\/elissa-and-miguel-allegedly-got-engaged-on-love-is-blind-but-it-was-cut-for-this-shocking-reason\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/02\/11\/elissa-and-miguel-allegedly-got-engaged-on-love-is-blind-but-it-was-cut-for-this-shocking-reason\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-2026-02-11T140210.746-150x150.png","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-2026-02-11T140210.746.png"},"articleSection":"News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ellie Ring"}],"creator":["Ellie Ring"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Reality Shrine","logo":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cropped-mX3_1x3z.png"},"keywords":["love is blind","netflix"],"dateCreated":"2026-02-11T19:35:46Z","datePublished":"2026-02-11T19:35:46Z","dateModified":"2026-02-15T20:42:31Z"},"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-2026-02-11T140641.098.png\")
