Fans of Netflix reality series Love is Blind were left disappointed over the weekend when news emerged that season two’s last couple left standing, Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson, called it quits and will be joining Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones in heading to divorce court.

This comes just six months after the Season Two finale aired in February.

In reality, dating shows have never been known to be all that successful. But, with four marriages in two seasons, Love Is Blind had seemed poised to prove that reality TV could actually help build lasting love.

That all changed over the weekend when it became public knowledge that Ruhl and Thompson, one of two couples who tied the knot at the end of the season, are getting a divorce.

It has been reported that Ruhl filed a petition for the dissolution of her marriage to Thompson earlier this month.

Fan-favourite season-two couple Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones announced their impending divorce on Instagram, on August 17, just two months after celebrating their first anniversary.

“After much thought, we’re saddened to share that we have separated and will begin the process of divorcing,” McNeely and Jones said in a joint statement.

“While we have love for each other, our lives are going in different directions, and that’s okay.”

The couple also specifically thanked “the Love Is Blind family and Netflix,” adding, “This experience has taught us so much about ourselves, vulnerability, and love. We don’t regret a single thing!”

Four days later, news broke that the only other couple from season two to tie the knot, Ruhl and Thompson, had split, though neither has commented.

After going public with news of their split, McNeely and Jones got a personal message from the official Love is Blind Twitter page (a tad bit strange).

“As you start the next chapters of your lives, thank you for opening your hearts to the Love is Blind experience and sharing your journey with all of us,” read the tweet.

It seems weird to have a Netflix Twitter account express their condolences to the end of a marriage, but, then again, everything about the marriage was eccentric, the couple did meet while being filmed in ‘pods’, unable to see each other until their engagement.

ZERO PER CENT SUCCESS RATE

Should both these couples go through with divorce proceedings, that would leave season two of Love is Blind with a total of zero successful couples.

Meanwhile, season one’s married couples, Amber Pike and Matt Barnett, and fan- favourites Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton, appear to be going strong.

 So, with this, do you believed that love is blind? Well, it may be blind for some and blurry for others, but, statistically speaking, it’s not likely.

Both seasons of Love Is Blind resulted in eight engagements each (though both seasons left out two couples from the episodes). Overall, four out of 16 engagements (one-fourth) resulted in marriages, and two of those four marriages (one-half) are ending in divorce.

In other words, only 12.5 per cent of engagements on Love Is Blind have resulted in marriages lasting longer than one year. It’s not horrible, but is it enough to prove that the “experiment” is successful?

With that said, let’s ee what season three will offer.
