The wait is over! Love Is Blind Season 10 has officially landed on Netflix, and it is already bringing more drama, tears, and "did that really just happen?" moments than ever before. This milestone season takes us to the heart of the Midwest, featuring 32 hopeful singles from Ohio (including Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland) who are ready to prove that love is truly blind.

The Big Twist: What Happened with Chris?

If you’ve been scrolling through social media, you’ve likely seen the name Chris Fusco everywhere. Chris, a 33-year-old military veteran and account executive, found himself in one of the most talked-about love triangles in Love Is Blind history.

In the pods, Chris formed deep bonds with two women: Jessica Barrett, an infectious disease physician, and Brianna “Bri” McNees. While Chris ultimately chose to propose to Jessica, the "twist" came during the post-pod retreat in Cabo.

The Shocking Moment: Despite proposing to Jessica, Chris admitted he struggled with physical attraction once they met face-to-face. The real drama peaked when it was revealed that Chris had been thinking about "what if" he had chosen Bri instead. Previews for the mid-season episodes even showed Chris texting Bri while still engaged to Jessica. This "unfinished business" has fans wondering if Chris and Jessica will even make it to the altar, or if a "swap" is in the cards.

Meet the Couples: Who Found Love in the Pods?

This season set a record with seven couples getting engaged! Here is a quick look at who survived the pods:

  • Christine & Victor: The "fastest" engagement. They bonded over childhood trauma and were sent to Malibu instead of Cabo for a private honeymoon—a new twist for the show!
  • Amber & Jordan: A fan-favorite pair. Jordan had a deal-breaker about dating someone with children, but he seems to be falling hard for Amber and her daughter.
  • Ashley & Alex H.: A connection built on deep philosophy. However, Alex’s "water bottle habit" and a tense meeting with Ashley’s dad are causing early friction.
  • Brittany & Devonte: They shared a vow of celibacy until marriage, but real-world stress is testing their emotional bond.
  • Emma & Mike: A rocky start after Mike realized he was Emma's "second choice" in the pods.
  • Brianna & Connor: Their "slow burn" romance is being threatened by Bri's lingering thoughts about Chris.
  • Jessica & Chris: The most controversial couple so far, dealing with political differences and "the other woman" drama.

Why is Season 10 Different?

Unlike past seasons that focused on one city (like Seattle or DC), Season 10 features a state-wide search in Ohio. This has brought together a diverse group of professionals, including several nurses who have become the "heroes" of the season.

One of the most talked-about moments involved Elissa, an ICU nurse, who accidentally put nail glue in her eye thinking it was eye drops! She had to go to the hospital but returned to the pods wearing an eye patch, proving just how far these singles will go for love.

FAQ

While the pods are located in Santa Clarita, California, the couples live and work in Ohio after they get engaged. You’ll see famous spots like Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine and the Scioto Mile in Columbus.

As of the latest episodes released on February 18, 2026, Chris and Jessica are still engaged, but their relationship is on very shaky ground due to Chris’s admitted lack of attraction and his secret texts to Bri.

There are a total of 12 episodes. The finale, where we find out who says "I do," will air on March 4, 2026.

Creator Chris Coelen explained that because so many couples (seven!) got engaged, the show didn't have the budget to film everyone in Mexico. Christine and Victor were sent to Malibu because they had "no loose ends" with other cast members, making their journey more private.
