I'm Obsessed With Netflix's 'Love Is Blind' Cast And Stalked All Their Instagrams
The first season of Netflix's reality dating show, Love Is Blind, was a certified hit for the streaming service. In the bombshell finale and reunion show, fans finally(!) found out which of their favorite newly-engaged couples actually got married. The finale and reunion were both a whirlwind, but the love lives on (or, uh, doesn't) in the form of each LIB contestant's Instagram account. While some cast members don't even follow each other—if you've seen the reunion, you can guess who–others have rekindled their romances IRL and even made their 'ship Instagram official.
All the newly-minted influencers' profiles are available to the public, a.k.a. just waiting for you to cyberstalk. Here are all the main Love Is Blind cast's Instagram accounts, plus exclusive spoiler info on where the Love Is Blind couples are now based on their social media presences.

Amber Pike, 26
Amber is a cocktail waitress, Tropic Beauty model, and also an ex-Army tank mechanic (whoa!). Her longest relationship lasted three years, and it ended because they didn't see eye-to-eye on kids (he didn't want them). Now, she's giving romance another chance with Love Is Blind.
Season One Love Is Blind Spoilers:
Amber found who she was looking for with Barnett (they say "I do" during the finale, yay!). An inside source confirmed to Women's Health that they are still happily married, even though they did have a few rocky moments.
Need more proof they're the real deal? Just check out all the cute couple pics Amber has recently shared from their #secretyearoffun. Plus, she's blonde now, so that's cool!
Oh, and speaking of blondes... the other one on Love Is Blind, Jessica, seems to be persona non grata on Amber's Instagram after their confrontation at the reunion. Neither she nor hubby Barnett follow her, and vice versa. So, yeah, it seems like their beef is legit—and lasting.

Matt Barnett, 27
Matt is an engineer, and according to his Instagram, a world traveler (he's been to Stonehenge, Paris, Rome, and more). His Netflix bio says he's is looking for a "mature relationship" after realizing he put the happiness of others before his in previous ones.
Season One Love Is Blind Spoilers:
After getting out of a tricky love triangle (how mature of him, lol), he settles down with Amber and the two get married during the final episode. Even though Matt's Instagram page consists entirely of his own selfies (again, lol), the pair are still following each other on social media, so yeah. He posted a very ~serious~ pic on finale night asking fans if his "indecisiveness will get the best of him." Don't worry, it doesn't. He and Amber are still happily married and have been posting tons of cute couple pics from their #secretyearoffun.
It wasn't totally smooth sailing though. After Amber and Jessica's reunion special showdown, Barnett no longer follows Jessica. (Guess he's being a supportive husband?)
- 4/9
Mark Cuevas, 25
Mark is a NASM-certified personal trainer (who also plays guitar, according to Instagram). He says he's "100 percent ready" for marriage, per his Netflix bio. He's kept his romances casual in the past, but is ready for a "serious, committed relationship" (ugh, s'cute).
Season One Love Is Blind Spoilers:
Viewers see Mark fall for Jessica (who, tbh, doesn't fall as hard for him), and the two get engaged. Unfortunately, they don't last and Jessica leaves him at the altar on their wedding day. Instagram says they still follow each other, so maybe they're still friends?
On the personal fitness front, since people have been staying home to help prevent the spread of coronavirus in the U.S., Mark has been hosting Instagram Live workouts to help his fans stay active since gyms are closed.
- 5/9
Carlton Morton, 34
Carlton is a social media and marketing manager in Atlanta (he's also a personal assistant on Bravo's Real Housewives of Atlanta, according to his Instagram). Now, he's ready to settle down and meet his future wife. So far his experience with dating has been "shallow" and is finally ready to "go deep" with someone, according to his Netflix bio.
Season One Love Is Blind Spoilers:
And a few episodes in he *did* find that special someone via Diamond Jack. But, uh oh, when he eventually opened up about previously dating both women and men after their engagement, they got into a relationship-ending argument. Could their epic on-screen fight mean they're not even friends now? Carlton posted a picture for the finale with the caption, "I know I'm not perfect but I promise, I'm WORTH IT." Well, okay then!
Also worth noting: Carlton moved his Instagram account from public to private after the show aired. (Maybe too many DM's after his emotion-filled episode?) FWIW, it's now back on public, and he currently follows Amber, Jessica, Barnett, and Cameron.
- 6/9
Diamond Jack, 28
Diamond Jack is an NBA dancer for the Atlanta Hawks. In her Netflix bio, she says she's dated "everyone from athletes to playboys." Living in Atlanta, she feels like the guys know they have tons of options and date accordingly. She isn't fully sold on getting engaged to someone she's never seen, but "believes in the process" of Love Is Blind.
Season One Love Is Blind Spoilers:
Unfortunately, her and castmate Carlton didn't last, despite their quick engagement. According to a source they're now on speaking terms, but it doesn't seem like they're going to be friend anytime soon.(Hint: They don't still even follow each other on Instagram.)
On finale night, Diamond posted a confident video of herself dancing with the caption "who else is ready to slay for royal weddings?" At least she's supportive of her fellow cast members!
- 7/9
Kenny Barnes, 27
Kenny is in specification sales, has a super cute Corgi named Penni, and loves to box with Brawl for a Cause. He's believes that "communication is the most important part of any relationship," according to his Netflix bio. Kenny's also a self-described "Dad joke mixologist," per his Instagram, so...there's that.
Season One Love Is Blind Spoilers:
Poor Kenny, he didn't get the marriage ceremony he was looking for. That being said, he seems to be doing well. "Challenge: stop placing an ROI (return on investment) on everything you do and embrace it for what it is and appreciate it for just that," he wrote in an Instagram post shared on finale night. "Because the ROI doesn’t exist when the return is happening...RIGHT NOW." (Gotta stan that confidence!)
- 8/9
Rory Newbrough, 28
Rory is a brand director who is a self-proclaimed homebody and recently bought a home in the 'burbs. He's ready to get married and, according to his Netflix bio, hopes to find a woman who is "strong enough to be his guide and would know him better than he knows himself."
In an Instagram caption on the day the show premiered, he wrote that "this group of people are the most genuine, courageous, and talented people you'll meet. I can't imagine going on this journey with anyone else." (Aw! My heart.) Btw, he actually got engaged to Danielle on Love Is Blind, but producers ended up cutting his relationship from the show.
- 9/9
Danielle Drouin, 27
Danielle is a yoga instructor and self-described yogi who also models and eats plant-based. So far, dating for her has been mostly "short term relationships that simply aren’t interested in truly getting to know her or settling down," according to her Netflix bio.
She was ready for a long-term commitment through Love Is Blind, but unfortunately didn't find a lasting match with Rory. However, she said that her "jaw dropped" while watching the last episode. She did throw a little shade at Netflix in a recent post saying she wished that her and Lexie's "stories were also followed along with many others."
Including who's still following who...
