Love Is Blind Season 9 Fails to Produce Any Marriages

In a surprising turn of events, Love Is Blind season 9 has made history as the first season of the popular Netflix reality show to not feature a single marriage. According to the show's executive producer, Chris Coelen, this outcome was not entirely unexpected, as the experiment is designed to test whether couples can overcome the obstacles of the real world after falling in love solely based on their personalities.

Coelen explained that while the show's producers always hope the participants will find lifelong commitments, the most important thing is that they make the decisions they feel are right for themselves. In this case, at least one member of each couple in season 9 felt their love was not strong enough to withstand the challenges of the real world, and they chose not to get married.

Despite the lack of weddings, Coelen believes the experiment was still a success, as it achieved its primary goals of determining whether it's possible to fall in love based solely on who someone is, and whether that love is strong enough to overcome real-world obstacles. The show's track record, which includes 13 marriages across previous seasons, with only four ending in divorce and four babies born, also speaks to the experiment's overall success.

As for the season 9 contestants, they have their own theories on why no one found their "one" in the pods. Contestant Jordan, 30, told Variety that the condensed nature of the experiment allowed everyone to be "down to earth enough" to prioritize their own lives over satisfying the show's fans. "We don't care what the fans think because this is our life," he said. "We're regular people."
