The ultimate question has been answered! After a dramatic season of unexpected pod connections, a chaotic trip to the Dominican Republic, and four nerve-wracking walks down the aisle, the fate of the Minneapolis couples from Love Is Blind Season 8 is finally sealed. As of today, December 18, 2025, the dust has settled following the explosive reunion episode, revealing which relationships truly defied the odds of the social experiment and which fizzled out in the real world.
The eighth season, which premiered on Netflix on February 14, 2025, brought us a new group of singles ready to take the leap of faith. While four couples made it to the altar, the shocking truth is that only one pair said "I do" and remains happily married, proving that the journey from the pods to forever is more challenging than ever. We dive into the definitive status of every engaged couple from Love Is Blind Season 8.
The Ultimate Success Story: Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings
In a season marked by uncertainty and dramatic breakups, Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings emerged as the sole married couple from the main cast of Love Is Blind Season 8.
Their connection in the isolation pods was one of the strongest and most immediate, with Daniel, a Sales Account Executive, proposing to Taylor, a Colonoscopy Nurse, early in the experiment.
Despite some minor drama—including Taylor's initial concern about Daniel's social media habits—the couple overcame their differences and made it to their wedding day.
Both Taylor and Daniel confidently said "I do" in the season finale, officially tying the knot in March 2024.
Their relationship has only strengthened since the show, with reports confirming they are not only still together but thriving. Daniel even demonstrated his commitment by getting a giant tattoo of Taylor's eyes, and they renewed their wedding vows in a blowout ceremony one year after their televised wedding.
The Couples Who Said 'I Don't' or Broke Up Post-Altar
The Love Is Blind experiment is designed to test emotional connection, but for three of the four couples who made it to the wedding day, the transition to real life proved too difficult to sustain their relationships. The reunion confirmed the heartbreaking reality for these pairs.
Joey Leveille and Monica Danus: The Post-Wedding Breakup
Joey and Monica were one of the first Minneapolis couples to get engaged in the pods.
They surprised viewers by agreeing to walk away from the altar unmarried, choosing to continue their relationship outside of the commitment of marriage.
However, their attempt at a real-world relationship was short-lived. The couple spent a brief period together, acting like they were in a relationship, but ultimately, they are now confirmed to be broken up.
Ben Mezzenga and Sara Carton: The Altar Rejection
Ben and Sara's journey was tumultuous, marked by differing political and social views, despite forming a deep connection in the pods.
They were the first couple to reach the altar in the season finale, but Sara delivered a shocking rejection, telling Ben she couldn't marry him.
In a surprising twist revealed at the reunion, Sara agreed to try and make the relationship work with Ben after the wedding, and they lived together for a short time.
Despite this post-altar attempt, the relationship ultimately failed, and Ben Mezzenga and Sara Carton are not together today.
Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley: The Walk-Away Bride
Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley were another couple whose journey ended dramatically at the altar.
While they made it to the final step, Virginia chose to walk away from Devin on their wedding day, leaving him waiting.
This decision meant the end of their relationship, and the two are not together.
The Unseen Success Story: Engaged But Not Married
Every season of Love Is Blind features more engagements than are shown on camera. Season 8, filmed in Minneapolis, was no exception, providing a fascinating footnote to the final relationship count.
While the focus was on the four couples who made it to the altar, a major revelation from the post-show updates is the status of an "unaired" engagement.
Kylie Schuelke and Brian Sumption: The Quietly Committed Couple
Kylie Schuelke, a Medical Student, and Brian Sumption were one of the couples who got engaged in the pods but were not featured beyond that point in the main series.
In a stunning piece of news that adds to the season's success rate, Kylie and Brian are confirmed to be still together.
They did not get married, but their decision to continue their relationship privately outside of the show's intense pressure demonstrates that the experiment's premise can work even for those who don't become Netflix stars. Their quiet commitment is a testament to the emotional foundation built in the pods.
Love Is Blind Season 8 Final Relationship Status Tally
The journey from the pods in Minneapolis to the reunion stage was a roller coaster of emotions, commitment, and heartbreak. The final tally for Love Is Blind Season 8 is surprisingly low for married couples, but high for surviving relationships overall.
- Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings: Married and Still Together. (The only married couple)
- Kylie Schuelke and Brian Sumption: Engaged and Still Together. (Unaired, but a successful relationship)
- Joey Leveille and Monica Danus: Broke Up Post-Show.
- Ben Mezzenga and Sara Carton: Broke Up at the Altar/Post-Show.
- Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley: Broke Up at the Altar.
The season proved that while a strong connection in the pods is essential, surviving the real-world challenges—from cohabitation to family introductions—is the true test of love. Taylor and Daniel's enduring marriage, and Kylie and Brian's quiet engagement, offer a glimmer of hope for future Love Is Blind participants and fans of the Netflix reality show. The drama of the reunion and the subsequent life updates have solidified Season 8 as one of the most talked-about in the franchise's history.
