Vic and Christine were noticeable absent from the Mexico trip on Love Is Blind, and immediately rumours started flying around about why that was.<\/p>\n

Some speculated that it was because they had criminal charges and weren’t allowed to leave the country, whilst others though they might not have passports.<\/p>\n

However, Christine has personally spoken out about the rumours about why she and Vic did not go to Mexico with everyone else on Love Is Blind.<\/p>\n

She explained: “I wanted to pop in and give a quick commentary on all you guys assumptions about why Vic and I did not go to Mexico.<\/p>\n

“Just so you guys know, everybody has to have a valid passport before even arriving to the pods, so if you happen to get engaged and go onto the Mexico part of filming you do have to have a valid passport. So it has nothing to do with passports or criminal record charges.”<\/p>\n

Producer Chris Coelen previously revealed<\/a> that the actual reason why Vic and Christine went on their own separate honeymoon was actually just down to budget issues.<\/p>\n

He explained to Entertainment Weekly<\/a>: “We had seven great couples, and we felt really strongly about all of them. Normally,we would only track up to five and sometimes we\u2019ve stretched to six \u2014 even if we have more engagements than that, we can sort of zero in [on who to drop].<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this time, we couldn\u2019t. We really felt like that we had an abundance of terrific choices, so we made the decision to follow all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Chris admitted that the budget for Love Is Blind simply wasn\u2019t big enough to send all seven couples to Mexico, explaining: \u201cPart of the reason that we can\u2019t follow more than normally five, and sometimes we stretch to six, is that we don\u2019t have the budget to do that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s something I\u2019ve talked about every single season, we just don\u2019t have the budget. We don\u2019t even have the budget to follow six, but we stretch, and we figure it out. And so there\u2019s absolutely no way we could do it with seven.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris explained that he knew they had to pick one couple, and he felt that Vic and Christine were the best couple to pick as they\u2019d been in their \u201cown amazing romantic bubble this whole entire time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neither Vic or Christine had any other messy connections in the pods, as Chris explained: \u201cPart of what people do when they go to Mexico is they resolve unresolved threads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s part of the point of going to Mexico and seeing all the others, and Vic and Christine really didn\u2019t have any of those unresolved threads. So they were the ones that we picked to go on the trip by themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
