Almost at the altar! The Love Is Blind season 4 couples have navigated highs and lows since getting engaged sight unseen in the Netflix pods.
While Chelsea Griffin eagerly accepted Kwame Appiah’s proposal, things quickly took a turn after seeing each other (and their exes!) face-to-face. During the cast’s group vacation to Mexico, which aired in March 2023, Kwame couldn’t help but look back at his pod connection with fellow cast member Micah Lussier. The Ghana native even confessed in a confessional that the marketing manager, who accepted Paul Peden’s proposal, still held a “special place” in his heart.
“I think no matter what, especially when you start looking at the life that you have now, but when you think about the connection I have with Chelsea — the pod relationship you have with someone [is] completely different from the actual relationship you have with someone,” Kwame exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the season 4 premiere that March. “Like when I went past the pods with Chelsea, I was just like, ‘OK, this is almost a reflex for us, the way we interact, the way we under understand each other.’”
He added at the time: “I just don’t believe that would’ve ever been the case with Micah, and I can respect that. I think we had a great relationship in the pods, and that’s what I meant [by] ‘She has a special place in my heart.’ But I knew deep down in my soul that there was just no possibility of us going past that and having anything that was actually of value to us as human beings [and] as people who are in love. Like, we had a great time in the pods. It was great to move on from there.”
