Love Is Blind's Alex reveals unusual past jobs

Love Is Blind contestant Alex Henderson has generated significant interest following recent episodes of the Netflix series. Engaged to Ashley Carpenter in the pods, their connection faced hurdles after meeting in person, particularly concerning physical intimacy and differing life plans. Alex revealed that his extensive and varied work history, including roles as a fisherman and casino dealer in Australia, has contributed to a nomadic lifestyle.

He explained to Us Weekly that his career path, which also involved positions at Merrill Lynch and BMO, was significantly impacted by COVID-19, leading to extensive travel and a severance package. This background makes explaining his intentions for marriage challenging. The couple also navigated discussions about finances and where they would live, with Ashley considering a promotion in Ohio while Alex had job offers in Arizona and Florida. Alex confirmed he is no longer living in Ohio.
