Key points

Devonta reveals a surprising relationship update.
Nick Lachey goes head-to-head with villain Connor.
In an audience full of the 100-plus people who have participated in Netflix's "can you fall in love sight unseen?" experiment since its 2020 premiere, theLove Is Blindseason 10 reunion actually gifted fans more updates than past reunions — while also providing the same amount of mystifying moments from cohosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey.
Let's get into it!
Vic and Christine are gifted a new honeymoon
When Nick asks Christine and Vic about being the only couple to go to Malibu instead of Mexico for the post-pod getaway (creator Chris Coelen previously confirmed toEWthatthe decision was based on budget), season 10's golden couple continues to take the high road.
"I think it made sense in some ways, because we knew, like, we were each other's number one from day one," Christine says in the reunion. "Even my friends told me, 'You're too boring to be on reality TV.'"
The twosome has since moved to Columbus, Ohio (she was previously residing in Cleveland), and are still going strong as husband and wife. "I think the best part of living with Christine is that the home is a home," Vic gushes, noting Christine leaves him notes of scripture and encouragement throughout the house.
Later on, a sponsored TurboTax ad reveals that Vic and Christine are being given a second honeymoon in honor of being able to jointly file their taxes. (Nothing takes you out of your TV escapism like a reminder to file your taxes!)
Amber and Jordan split after four months of marriage
When asked for an update on theirfirst year of marriage, Jordan admits that it only lasted "four months." He initially cites Amber's past "trust issues" from "previous boyfriends" for their breakup.
"As well as some damage done by those guys," he says. "And I feel like, for me, I was constantly trying to repair a trust that I didn't break. For me, that took a toll."
The pair, who argued over whether to live in Columbus or Ohio suburb Mount Vernon (about 45 minutes to an hour drive apart), never moved in together.
"It's really difficult to trust somebody when they are only coming up on the weekends or I'm going down there and they want to be at home in Columbus five [or] six nights a week instead of moving in — you wonder why you wouldn't want to be home with your wife," Amber explains. "I felt like you wanted to stay in Columbus in your condo, do whatever you wanted, but have a wife that shows up on a Saturday, primed and ready to go, who just worked all week, who just took care of her kid, who just did all these things. I need to show up and be on point …"
Jordan argues that Amber's analysis is "so far off." He goes on to claim that she got "blacked out" drunk at a wedding where he was the best man, leading to his embarrassment and decision to bring her to the car to sleep it off. (Amber denies his story but alleges she Ubered home as he continued to party.)
Jordan attempts to chalk it up to their relationship being "unhealthy," but Amber points out that her daughter, Emma, was upset that he didn't say goodbye. "I'm sorry that it ended that way," he says.
"I can't cry because I have to be strong for her," Amber fires back. "Nights later, she's asking me if we could make a memory box for you, so you'd come back. I'm having to be the one that's holding back tears and being strong for my daughter. Don't f—ing come into somebody's life if you're gonna do that! I told you!"
Amber storms off and when she returns, cohost Vanessa opts to ask more of a softball question about what Amber has learned about herself instead of getting more into the divorce details — including our No. 1 question, is it finalized and was there a prenup?!
Bri and Connor have been secretly dating
After deciding not to get married ahead of their wedding day, it's revealed that Bri and Connor are still together! "It was almost like a new chapter of, 'Okay we did one of the craziest things. Let's see how life looks just on a normal day-to-day basis,'" Connor explains.
The duo are living next door to each other in Columbus, with Bri revealing she and Connor will make it to the altar in the future. "I love everything about him and he loves everything about me," she declares.

The reckoning of Chris
The 98 Degrees singer gets his most animated at a reunion yet when it comes tovillain Chris. Nick notes that growing up in Ohio (like this season's cast), he believed in "bro code," so seeing Chris make amove on Bri(his pod best friend Connor's girl) was "brutal" for him and Vanessa to watch.
"I'm not proud of a lot of those moments," Chris replies, which does not satisfy Nick.
"Connor just illustrated for us how close the two of you were during filming. Working out together in the mornings, riding together. When [you and Jess] split up, he was the one standing there, kind of talking to you through it all," Nick says. "And then to turn around anddo that to him when he was mere feet away from you, and then after the fact, go over to him and bro-it-up like nothing ever happened. I'm just not sure what it says about you. That's probably for you and a therapist to figure out, but I promise you it's not good. … Is there anything you can say to Connor — man to man, Ohio boy to Ohio boy?"
Chris subsequently apologizes for disrespecting Connor and "putting Bri in that situation as well." He admits to being "too aggressive" before Nick shifts to Chris' relationship with Jess, who cites her ex's "deep insecurities" — including about finances — for why he tried to tear her down.
An ad for Netflix Puzzled (the stream's gaming app) subsequently helps reveal Jess is dating another connection from the pods named Haramol.
Mike moves on after Emma
Claiming that they agreed to say no and continue to date off camera, Mike says he was "surprised" by Emma saying yes at the altar."I thought saying yes in front of your family and my family was a declaration of [having] kids," Emma, who struggled with her decision to have a family throughout the season, replies. "The biggest what-if was kids and I truly believed in my heart when I said yes, that put that to bed."
Mike, however, believes it was more of a "switch-up" of emotions and Emma may have been caught up in the wedding since they had previously agreed to continue to date and not wed.
It's then revealed that Emma is single, but Mike has a girlfriend of seven months.
More confusion from Ashley and Alex
Sitting as far apart from each other as possible, Alex and Ashley get into another back-and-forth about Alex's history and, of course, his trips to Austin, Tex.
During their confrontation, Alex says he felt "cross-examined" by both Ashley and her father. In turn, she accuses him of being like ChatGPT and rehearsing his lines.
While Vanessa tries to push Alex for a moment of "vulnerability," Nick asks him to compare the moment to a soccer match (naturally) — and he picks a game in his life that resulted in a tie.
Just like Ashley, fans are likely still trying to piece together Alex's story when it's revealed via a lengthy soccer-related video that Alex is living with Devonta in Arizona.
Devonta is going to be a dad
When Vanessa asks Brittany if Devonta was gaslighting her during their awkward breakup convo, Brittany says yes and reveals the situation was "dragged out" post-show.
According to Brittany, she didn't hear from Devonta for two and a half weeks and when she reached out, he said he wasn't ready to totally throw in the towel. He then allegedly lied about a "work trip" and was in Austin (drink every time this Ohio-based season becomes about Austin?!) with other women from the cast for a Rüfüs Du Sol concert.
After tense questioning from Brittany's father from the crowd, it's revealed that Devonta is engaged and having a baby with another woman in Ohio. So does he actually live in Arizona with Alex? It's… unclear. He simply replies by saying he has a house in Ohio too.
So the question (as always) remains, is lovereallyblind? Not really! But will we tune in next season? You bet.
