Spoiler alert! In season 4 of Love Is Blind on Netflix, Chelsea from the show shares she has moved on from the moment her fiancé Kwame flirted with his ex Micah in Mexico. The pediatric speech language pathologist, aged 31, reveals that she sees it as a natural part of their journey on the unique dating show where connections are made with multiple people. Chelsea acknowledges that the intense environment in Mexico, with alcohol and cameras around, may have led to the flirty exchange. Micah, on the other hand, has clarified that she was never into Kwame after their pod split and attributes her behavior to being naturally flirtatious.

Netflix has shared that on the show, Chelsea watched as the two reconnected by the poolside, but she chose not to interrupt their conversation as it wasn’t her nature to do so. She acknowledges that Kwame and Micah needed to have some closure, although she admits it was uncomfortable at times. Chelsea emphasizes that she respects Kwame’s journey and holds no ill feelings towards Micah. In her opinion, if someone else is showing interest in her man, they must be cool and awesome, just like her. She believes that everything happens for a reason. Love Is Blind is set to return for its fourth season with a new cast of hopefuls from Seattle.

Kwame and Micah, who had a brief encounter in the pods, quickly caught up and talked about how their relationship ended abruptly. Things got a bit tense when Micah made a toast about a “failed proposal,” upsetting Kwame, prompting him to have a private conversation with her. Chelsea, who was watching them flirt from a distance, felt uncomfortable and expressed her desire to leave the party and go home.

In their hotel room, Chelsea asked her fiancé why he felt the need to address the comment with Micah right away. He explained that he couldn’t let it go and had to talk to her about it. Chelsea noted that his actions not only affected him but also had an impact on her. Despite not feeling fully satisfied with the closure he got from Micah that night, Kwame assured Chelsea that he was content with where they were in their relationship and had no desire to be with Micah. Chelsea urged him to let go of his lingering connection to Micah.
