The journey of Hannah and Leo was characterized by intense chemistry and equally intense conflict, culminating in Hannah choosing Nick and Leo swiftly proposing to Brittany Wisniewski. However, the latest news confirms that both of their engagements ended in early 2025, leaving fans to wonder if the original spark between Hannah and Leo would finally ignite outside the pods. The truth, however, is far more nuanced than a simple recoupling.
Hannah Jiles & Leo Braudy: A Complete Profile
To understand the complexity of their post-show relationship, it’s essential to look at the backgrounds of the two individuals who clashed so memorably in the pods. Their professional and personal lives outside the experiment played a huge role in their on-screen dynamic.
Hannah Jiles Biography
- Full Name: Hannah Jiles
- Age: 27 (as of the show's airing)
- Birthdate: January 28, 1997
- Hometown/Origin: West Virginia Native
- Occupation: Medical Device Sales Professional (She reportedly left her job to participate in the show, which many viewers found shocking.)

Leo Braudy Biography
- Full Name: Leo Braudy
- Age: 31 (as of the show's airing)
- Hometown/Origin: Alexandria, Virginia (DC Area)
- Occupation: Art Dealer / CEO of Capital Art Advisory (He runs his family's art dealing business, which was founded by his grandparents. His job was a major talking point in the pods.)
- Known For: His emotional reaction in the pods after being rejected, which he later dubbed a "temper tantrum."
The Pods, The Proposal, and The Temper Tantrum
Hannah and Leo's connection was immediate and passionate, but it was quickly overshadowed by drama. Hannah was torn between Leo, the charismatic art dealer, and Nick Dorka, the seemingly stable and committed partner. The tension reached its peak when Hannah ultimately chose Nick, leading to one of the most explosive moments of the season.
The Fallout: Leo's Emotional Reaction
Leo’s reaction to Hannah's rejection was anything but calm. He was visibly distraught and threw what he later admitted was a "temper tantrum" in the pods. He desperately pleaded with Hannah to take back her "yes" to Nick and even offered to propose to her on the spot. This behavior, which included yelling, ultimately caused Hannah to cry and solidified her decision that he was not the right person for her.
The Pivot to Brittany Wisniewski
In a dramatic twist, Leo pivoted quickly and proposed to Brittany Wisniewski, a move that surprised both the cast and viewers. While the show's main focus shifted to the couples heading to Mexico, an on-screen message later revealed that Leo and Brittany were not selected to be followed, and their engagement was not fully documented for the main season. However, their relationship continued off-camera, though it was short-lived.
Where Are Hannah and Leo Now? The 2025 Update on Their Friendship
The biggest update for Hannah Jiles and Leo Braudy is not a romantic reunion, but a surprising platonic one. Despite the explosive end to their pod relationship and their subsequent failed engagements, the two are now genuinely close.
Failed Engagements and New Beginnings
The paths of both Hannah and Leo diverged but quickly circled back to single life:
- Hannah and Nick's Split: Hannah and Nick Dorka were still married at the time of the Season 7 reunion, but they officially split in January 2025.
- Leo and Brittany's Breakup: Leo and Brittany's engagement ended shortly after the pods, with a mysterious on-screen message confirming their separation.
After both relationships ended, many fans speculated that Hannah and Leo would finally connect. However, Hannah confirmed in a recent interview that she and Leo have become "really good friends" over the past year. Leo is currently single, while Brittany has moved on to a new relationship as of October 2025. This confirms that the former flames have officially moved past their romantic connection and settled into a supportive, platonic dynamic.
The Aftermath: Miami Trip Secrets and Nick Dorka's Shade
The post-show drama for Leo and Hannah is not just about their friendship; it involves key revelations about Leo's other failed relationship and some public "shade" from Hannah's ex-fiancé, Nick Dorka.
The Truth Behind Leo and Brittany's "Miami Trip"
One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Leo and Brittany was their unexplained split. At the Season 7 reunion, Leo finally set the record straight, revealing that the key to their breakup was an off-camera trip they took together to Miami. Leo admitted that the Miami getaway, which was not documented by Netflix, was the moment they realized their fundamental incompatibility. The trip was a make-or-break moment, ultimately confirming that their connection formed in the pods could not translate to the real world, leading them to break off their engagement just weeks later.
Nick Dorka's Public Digs
The drama continued into late 2025, with Hannah’s ex-fiancé, Nick Dorka, publicly commenting on the situation. Nick has reportedly been "shading" both Hannah Jiles and Leo Braudy in recent social media updates and interviews. Given the messy nature of the love triangle and Nick's own failed marriage, this public commentary adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing *Love Is Blind* saga. While Hannah is focused on moving on from the experience, the public scrutiny continues, fueled by the comments of her former fiancé.
In conclusion, the story of Hannah and Leo is a testament to the unpredictable nature of the *Love Is Blind* experiment. While they didn't find lasting romantic love with each other or their respective partners, they managed to salvage a genuine, lasting friendship from the ruins of their pod drama. Their current status as "really good friends" is a fresh, positive, and unexpected twist that brings their turbulent reality TV journey to a surprisingly amicable close.
