“We had been committed to seeing the experience through but what’s not shown is that she and I had conversations multiple times, also with the cameras recording, we’re adamantly not getting married,” Barnes later told Entertainment Tonight in March. “That was never something that we were gonna do. So much so that we were both calculated that when we had an engagement to become engaged to get to the next step.”

During the Love Is Blind reunion special in March, Barnes confirmed that he was in a new relationship. Chase, meanwhile, said that while she did love her former flame, she wasn’t in love with him.

“I wanted to continue our journey of dating and getting to know one another,” she said while tearing up. “And that didn’t happen, and it’s water under the bridge now, and I’m so happy for you and your relationship. But, I think I just needed time.”

Chase revealed later that month that she was dating someone she went to middle school with.
