Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson recently reunited and opened up about the strong emotions they still have for each other following their appearance on the popular Netflix reality show Love Is Blind. Although they are not officially a couple again, the shared experience they had on the show has kept them connected.
During a heartfelt conversation on Thompson’s podcast, Eyes Wide Open, the former spouses discussed their time on Love Is Blind and how it has impacted their lives. Ruhl, 29, expressed how difficult it was for her to find comfort with anyone else, as no one else could understand the unique experience they went through together.
Both Ruhl and Thompson, 37, have made allegations about the production team’s behavior during filming, suggesting that it involved abusive elements. However, Netflix and Kinetic Content, the production company, have denied these claims. The current media discussions surrounding the show have reignited their connection and brought up a range of emotions for the exes.
Former ‘Love Is Blind’ couple Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson have found their way back to each other, as shown in a cozy photo that Danielle posted on Instagram. Before this reunion, both Danielle and Nick were mentioned separately in an article exposing allegations against the show ‘Love Is Blind,’ which was published in April by Business Insider. This article brought them back in contact, as they realized that they were the only ones who truly understood the challenging experience they had been through. Seeing each other in the media stirred up emotions for both of them, leading Nick to reach out to Danielle after having a few drinks. Their conversations continued throughout the night at Nick’s apartment in Chicago, where they talked about their time on ‘Love Is Blind’ and their subsequent divorce for a staggering eight hours until 5 a.m. Danielle described it as a strange feeling, as it seemed like no time had passed but a lot had changed. Nick expressed that he had been feeling stuck because there were unresolved issues between them. Interestingly, it was during this emotional night that they unknowingly posted the snuggly selfie on Instagram.
Danielle Ruhl, from the show “Love Is Blind,” recently addressed a photo on her Instagram that surprised both fans and her family members. The photo showed Ruhl wearing mascara stained on Thompson’s white shirt, leading to speculation from fans. Thompson confirmed that they had been crying a lot that evening and had spent the time talking through things they had never said before.
This unexpected reunion shocked their family members, who reached out to them individually, assuming that they had been secretly talking again for a while. However, Ruhl clarified that it was actually the first time they had seen each other since the breakup. She called her previous behavior towards her ex, Nick, “immature” and expressed regret over it, considering it one of her biggest mistakes.
Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson, known for their appearance on Netflix’s Love Is Blind, have not provided an update on the status of their relationship. However, there is another part of their podcast conversation yet to be released. During the first part of their discussion, both Ruhl and Thompson shared their negative experiences with producers. They claimed that when they arrived in Mexico, their original producers from the pods were replaced with more demanding ones. The couple also expressed concerns that they were not interesting enough for screen time, which they believed led producers to highlight Ruhl’s anxiety in an attempt to create drama. In response to an article by Business Insider in April, Kinetic, the production company, denied the allegations and emphasized the importance they place on the well-being of all participants throughout the filming process. In August, Ruhl filed for divorce from Thompson, making them the second couple from Love Is Blind season 2 to split after one year of marriage. The other couple, Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones, also announced their divorce during the same week.
