It’s like the first season of Love is blind went incredibly fast, but what you probably don’t know is how much time has passed since the shooting of the show. Although the episodes weren’t aired until February 2020, you might be shocked to learn that these on-screen relationships actually started more than a year ago!
In an interview with Refinery29, the candidate Damian Powers said that the shooting ended on November 15, 2018. This is not a typo: it was really shot in 2018, not in 2019, which means that ‘It took over a year from the end of filming for the episodes. to eventually stream to Netflix. Competitor Jessica Batten also confirmed that filming took place in 2018 in a recent Instagram post. So, for all the couples whose relationships were shown on the screen, they had to keep their relationship status secret for more than a year at this stage to avoid any possibility of spoilers!
The long period of time explains why many of the candidates have Instagram photos that seem to hint at the status of their relationship since the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019. However, it must have been frustrating to have to keep their relationship down – low. On the positive side, however, it is likely that they should not have been completely secret, the way, for example, couples of The single person must be. Love is blind is still a new show, and none of the contestants was really a public figure until about a month ago. While they certainly couldn’t post on social media, since fans would certainly turn to Instagram for clues from the start of the series, they could probably live a normal, albeit somewhat calm, life, until what the series begins to intensify, because they had just be ordinary people for everyone they would meet in public.
Since there was such a big gap between the shooting and the episodes broadcast, we are more than ever interested to see what happens during the special meeting, broadcast on March 5. With more than a year of their lives still unknown, we are sure there is a lot of history to tell!
