Season 3 of Love Is Blind brought us three successful love stories – well, kind of! While only two couples exchanged vows at the altar, a third pair revealed during the November 2022 reunion that they were giving their relationship another chance.
Raven Ross, who was previously engaged to Sikiru “SK” Alagbada, shared her surprise when he turned her down at the altar. In October 2022, Raven spoke exclusively to Us Weekly, expressing her belief that despite their unresolved conversation before the wedding, their journey had been incredible. She mentioned that they had overcome numerous challenges and were determined to work on their relationship and grow together, even if it wasn’t the right time.
After the finale, SK reached out to Raven and they decided to take things “one day at a time.” However, by November 2022, they had decided to end their relationship.
Aside from Raven and SK’s ups and downs, Love Is Blind Season 3 did result in two lasting marriages. Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux, as well as Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton, found lasting love on the show.

Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux continue to maintain a strong bond, even after their marriage was showcased in the thrilling season 3 finale. During the reunion episode, the couple disclosed that their first argument ensued once the cameras ceased capturing their every move – a dispute centered around household responsibilities, specifically dishes.
Exciting news came their way in January 2024 as they joyfully announced that they are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first child.
Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton, a married couple, opted not to immediately move into a shared home following their wedding. However, they continued to spend the majority of their nights together. It was not until June 2023 that they decided to take the leap and commit to a joint lease.

Zanab Jaffrey, the renowned realtor, made headlines when she revealed that she decided against marrying her partner Cole. Furthermore, during the season 3 reunion, she accused him of body-shaming her.
Reflecting on the situation, Jaffrey expressed that she didn’t anticipate receiving an apology from Cole. She believed that a genuine apology required a level of emotional maturity that he might not possess yet. Despite this, she forgave him the moment she walked away from their relationship and emphasized that she didn’t need an apology to move forward.

In a conversation with us, the founder of Bdellium Real Estate expressed that he is currently in the process of sorting out his feelings regarding the conclusion of his relationship with Zanab. He clarified that he does not harbor anger, but rather deep disappointment due to the unexpected nature of the separation. He confessed that it took him completely by surprise. At present, he is grappling with a mix of emotions, primarily feeling hurt and bewildered. Cole emphasized his hope that he did not damage Zanab’s self-esteem, while acknowledging that he can understand the reasons behind her actions and empathize with her perspective.
The Netflix show “The Circle” brought together Pilates instructor and MBA student Sikiru ‘SK’ Alagbada with Raven, but their relationship faced challenges. Despite initially declining Raven’s marriage proposal, they briefly dated long-distance after the show. However, they eventually decided to end things after accusations of cheating surfaced in a viral TikTok video in November 2022. SK, who is currently focused on his studies at the University of California, Berkeley, stated that he and Raven remain on good terms and are taking things one day at a time.

Raven Ross, a resident of Texas, expressed their agreement at that time, mentioning that they are currently putting effort into their relationship. They described their partner as a truly remarkable individual, and as a result, they have been practicing mutual understanding and tolerance. Overall, their relationship has been going well.
However, the couple ended their relationship in November 2022.
Original Paraphrase:
Bartise Bowden, a senior analyst, disclosed that he and Nancy have experienced a tumultuous journey in trying to maintain a friendship after he rejected her at the wedding altar. Bartise explained that they have gone through various phases in their relationship, from being acquaintances to their current status as friends. In April 2023, Bartise announced the arrival of his first child, expressing his desire to be a positive role model for his son rather than a negative character on TV. However, he did not disclose the identity of his child’s mother at that time.
The real estate investor has a different perspective from her ex-partner when it comes to their relationship. She disagrees with using the term “friends” to describe their current dynamic. According to her, the way he unexpectedly left her at the altar caused immense pain and heartbreak. In order to heal, she required time alone. Although she acknowledges his presence and maintains a superficial level of interaction, their relationship remains distant and detached. Their communication is limited to simple exchanges, and the clarity of their differing responses has solidified the divide between them. Despite his apology, she believes that the damage done to her heart was irreversible, and there is no possibility of repairing their relationship.
