‘We can do our own thing’: ‘Love Is Blind’ couple engaged after Season 8 elimination
Sometimes hopeful singles actually do find love on reality dating shows but not always necessarily on camera.
“Love Is Blind” stars Kylie Schuelke and Brian Sumption are engaged despite not making it to the Season 8 finale, Netflix confirmed. The couple told the streamer that though their on-camera romance ended early, the two have forged something far too special for TV.
“It felt almost like a weight off our shoulders,” Sumption told Netflix. “Now we can do our own thing and figure out our lives on our own.”
The soon-to-be newlyweds unfortunately did not make the next phase of the series where they head to Honduras. Schuelke expressed disappointment and confusion as to why producers decided their romance wouldn’t pan out because “obviously it did.” She said the pair refused to let their TV fate deter their real-life future together.
“Ultimately, we went on ‘Love Is Blind’ to find love — and we did just that,” Schuelke said. “The experiment worked for us, and now we get to write our own story.”
