The tumultuous and often cringe-worthy relationship between Hannah Jiles and Nick Dorka on Love Is Blind Season 7 remains one of the most talked-about storylines of the franchise. Their journey, which began with a seemingly strong connection in the pods, quickly devolved into a series of highly scrutinized arguments over finances, maturity, and a now-infamous "pros and cons list." The biggest question for fans, nearly a year after the reunion aired, is whether the medical device sales professional and the real estate agent ever managed to reconcile or if the drama continued well into December 2025.
The short answer is a definitive no: Hannah Jiles and Nick Dorka are not together, having called off their engagement in a dramatic Episode 11 breakup. However, the true story of their split goes far deeper than a simple disagreement, involving allegations of fame-seeking, a shocking "grenade" comment, and a lack of accountability that defined the Season 7 reunion. Here is the definitive, up-to-date breakdown of their chaotic relationship, the reasons for their split, and the latest on their lives post-Netflix.

The Messy Pod Love Triangle: Leo Braudy and the Red Flag List
Hannah and Nick's relationship was fraught with tension from the very beginning, starting with a messy love triangle that set the stage for their future conflicts. While in the pods, Hannah was deeply connected to both Nick Dorka and fellow contestant Leo Braudy, an art dealer.
The pressure of choosing between the two men led to one of the season's most controversial moments: Hannah's infamous "pros and cons list." She ultimately chose Nick, but not before Leo Braudy threw a dramatic "temper tantrum" in the pods over her decision, a moment he later owned up to at the reunion.
However, the real controversy began when Hannah left her handwritten pros and cons list for Nick to find during their post-pods getaway. While the exact contents of the list were never fully revealed on screen, the mere existence of a detailed ledger highlighting Nick's flaws was a clear sign of the demeaning dynamic that would define their engagement. Nick expressed feeling constantly judged and "less than" by Hannah, a sentiment that resonated with many viewers who felt Hannah showed a lack of respect for her fiancé's maturity and financial standing.
The Shocking Real Reasons Hannah Called Off the Engagement
The relationship between Hannah and Nick Dorka officially ended in Episode 11, just before the weddings. While the on-screen narrative focused on disagreements over household responsibilities and Nick's perceived lack of maturity, the core issues were much deeper and centered on financial expectations and Hannah's critical nature.
During their time together, Nick felt that Hannah was constantly giving him a "demeaning speech" about his life choices and financial stability. This constant criticism led to an environment where Nick felt he was not treated as an equal partner. Hannah, on the other hand, felt Nick was not ready for the responsibilities of marriage and cohabitation, citing his need to grow up.
The tension culminated in Hannah calling off the engagement. This decision, however, was not the end of the drama; it was merely the prelude to the explosive reunion that would reveal the true extent of their incompatibility and the behind-the-scenes actions that shocked the D.C. crowd.
4 Explosive Truths Revealed at the Love Is Blind Reunion
The *Love Is Blind* Season 7 reunion special, which aired nearly a year after their breakup, provided the most crucial and controversial updates on Hannah and Nick. The revelations painted a picture of a toxic dynamic and exposed both parties to public scrutiny.
1. Nick's 'Grenade' Comment
One of the most shocking moments came when it was revealed that Nick Dorka had referred to Hannah as a "grenade" behind her back. This comment, which suggested Hannah was a ticking time bomb of drama and conflict, instantly became a viral moment. While some fans felt it was a harsh but honest assessment of their chaotic relationship, others saw it as a cruel and disrespectful remark that highlighted Nick’s own immaturity.
2. The 'Be the Most Famous' Journal Entry
Hannah Jiles dropped a massive bombshell at the reunion by claiming she had found Nick's "90-day goals journal." The most damning entry, according to Hannah, was Nick's goal to "Be the most famous person ever on *Love Is Blind*." This revelation immediately shifted the narrative, leading to speculation that Nick Dorka had joined the reality show for the wrong reasons: fame, not love. Nick denied the claim, but the damage was done, making the audience question the sincerity of his intentions throughout the experiment.
3. Hannah's Lack of Accountability
While Nick was forced to answer for his journal and the "grenade" comment, many viewers and critics pointed out a significant oversight in the reunion: the lack of accountability for Hannah Jiles' disrespectful behavior toward Nick. Her constant criticism, the pros and cons list, and the perceived demeaning attitude were largely glossed over, leading to a polarizing reaction from the fanbase who felt the reunion "missed the mark" on balanced criticism.
4. No Chance of Reconciliation in 2025
The reunion confirmed that there is absolutely no chance of Hannah and Nick reconciling. They both acknowledged the deep-seated incompatibility, with their final on-screen interaction being tense and centered on their past conflicts. Their split was final, and they have both moved on with their lives.

He remains a real estate agent in the D.C. area. The controversy surrounding his "90-day goals journal" has followed him, but he has used his platform to share his perspective on the show and the challenges of reality television fame. Nick’s story is a clear example of how a contestant can turn their narrative around, despite the drama of a messy split.
