What did former “Love is Blind” stars AD, Jessica, Bliss and Zach reveal at the “Love is Blind” Season 7 reunion?
“Love is Blind” Season 7 reunion aired on October 30, 2024, and the Washington, D.C.-set installment ended with a mess: the latest season of Netflix's groundbreaking reality show ended with two marriages (one of which was marred by an off-screen father-son scandal) out of seven engagements. The show ended with. With devastating breakups, cheating scandals, and major fights that affected relationships but occurred off-screen, the cast of Season 7 lacked romance, but there was plenty of drama. As has become tradition, the reunion hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lashay did not provide much clarity. Only a few major questions (Steven turned out to have sleep apnea) were resolved, as old fights were rekindled when the former couple reunited a year after filming.
Netflix, on the other hand, broke up the near-constant bickering by offering viewers a blast from the past, with fan-favorite cast members from the previous season of “Love is Blind” appearing to give updates on their lives. Despite the controversy among fans, the appearance of LIB alumni has become a reunion tradition, and Season 7 was worth watching for A.D. and Marshall's reaction cam alone. It was also nice to see familiar faces finding the light at the end of the LIB tunnel. The “Love is Blind” Season 7 reunion will showcase everything we've learned about where the alumni of the Netflix reality show are now and what they're up to.
Earlier this year, A.D. Smith left “Love is Blind” as a fan favorite after her engagement and divorce from Clay Gravesande in season 6. Returning to the Season 7 reunion just a few months after her own, she confirmed that she was “happy, thriving, and living my absolute best life.” She also thanked her fans for all the love she received after showing her vulnerability in Season 6.
When asked about her romantic life today, A.D. bashfully revealed that she is “just having a good time” with “someone very special.”
The two “keep their relationship private and cute,” but there are reports that she has already gotten close to another Love Is Blind alum. There are also reports that they are getting close to another Love Is Blind alum.
As E. News reported, A.D. was spotted dining with Love is Blind's British alum Ollie Sutherland in Mexico earlier this month; neither of the two Netflix reality stars has responded to dating rumors, but a cozy dinner fueled speculation that the two may have met through another dating show.

Marshall Glaze, who left Season 4 of Love is Blind alone after breaking up with Jackie Bonds, revealed at the Season 7 reunion that he has undergone major life changes since the episode aired in spring 2023. The former marketing manager moved to L.A. and said of his life, “Things are going well, I can't complain.”
After the reunion was streamed, some fans began to suspect that the mystery man in A.D. was Marshall himself. However, Marshall revealed on camera that he is currently single.
“Love is Blind” Season 4 couple Zach and Bliss Pretezadi Goitowski returned for another reunion, this time as parents. After announcing at the Season 6 reunion that Bliss was expecting Love is Blind's first baby, the Seattle duo brought their newborn daughter Galileo to the Season 7 reunion. Fans of “I Hope You Dance” also brought a special gift from Lee Ann Womack herself: a small stuffed animal named Lee Ann Wombat.
According to the couple, their unique baby name Galileo is inspired by the 17th century philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician. “The spirit of the man whose name represents is something I hope my daughter will embody,” Zach said, adding that Bliss ”is perfect for her and we love it.”
In February 2020, “Love is Blind” Season 1 premiered and the reality TV world was transformed thanks to one of the outstanding personalities of the season: Jessica Batten. (About five years later, Jessica returned to the “Love is Blind” Season 7 reunion as a happily married woman; although she never married her fiancé, Mark Anthony Cuevas, in LIB's first season, Jessica Batten McGrath eventually found Benjamin McGrath and found love.
As Jessica recounts at the reunion, her husband Ben slipped into her DMs in early 2020, and their first date was just the day before L.A.'s pandemic shutdown, and the two later went on to isolate themselves with his children, as Ben was a single father at the time, “a quintessential COVID relationship”. Jessica and Ben married in 2022 and later had a son, Dax.
Nancy Rodriguez has also moved cross-country since “Love is Blind” season 3 aired. At the reunion, Nancy revealed that she moved from Dallas to New York City. It was her first move “not for work, not for love, not for school, but for me.”
She is also currently in a relationship. Her partner attended the reunion, but did not sit with her. Instead, the camera briefly showed her boyfriend sitting in the studio audience. Nancy previously discussed her relationship in a June 2024 interview with PEOPLE magazine. She told the magazine that her then (and still now) unnamed partner blended into her DMs and eventually met her in person in February 2023. Since then, he has moved from Boston to N.Y.C. to be with her.
