Two ‘Love Is Blind’ Participants Have Known Each Other for 10 Years!

Just because Love is Blind is over doesn’t mean it’s over. First we met Rory and Danielle, learned a whole lot about the cast in the reunion special, then Lauren and Cameron launched a YouTube channel, and now there’s more behind-the-scenes tea being spilled. Did you know that two of the Love is Blind cast members have known each other for ten years?!

That’s right! It turns out that Kelly and Jessica knew each other before the entered the pods. The info dropped as part of one of the many Instagram Q&A sessions the LiB stars have done over the past month (and the info was later reported by ET Online). Both Jessica and Kelly talked about their friendship, saying that they’ve known each other for 10 years. Kelly specified that they met around 10-11 years ago, “from an ex-boyfriend’s same social circle.”

In true Love is Blind style, though, none of this intriguing info made it into the show. Just like Rory and Danielle and Damian’s Yoda impression, this fascinating fact was also left on the cutting room floor. It’s not like Jessica and Kelly didn’t spend time together, either! The show kept making the engaged couples hang out, and they even spent their bachelorette parties together!

It’s not surprising that two of the Love is Blind contestants knew each other beforehand, though. The show filmed in the Atlanta area and cast local singles. The next question: did Kelly and Jessica know the other one was going on Love is Blind before they got to the penthouse? Or were they totally surprised? And how’d they feel about going on blind dates with the same guys?!

Every day that passes, more and more questions about Love is Blind are raised. Love is Blind Season 1 is now on Netflix.
