‘Love Is Blind’ Season 1: Where Are They Now? Get Updates on the Cast Post-’After the Altar’ Special

Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton — The twosome are still going strong and celebrated three years of marriage in November 2021. “We definitely are starting our family planning. I’m not pregnant, let me preface by saying, however, we do have a little fur baby. His name is Spark,” Lauren told Us in April 2021. “So, he’s our child for now and our work is our child.”

Amber Pike and Matt Barnett — While Amber and Barnett also celebrated three years of marriage in November 2021, they still have unresolved tension with costar Jessica. After the controversial cast member suggested Amber wasn’t The One for Barnett during the original series, Jessica attempted to move on by bringing the couple a gift to their anniversary party — which he declined upon Amber’s request. “I knew they’re not my biggest fans. It was on my heart to approach them and let them know, ‘Hey, so much time has passed. I’m happy for y’all. I’ve worked through all my emotions. I’ve been put through it in the press and I’ve moved on a long time ago from that,'” Jessica told ET, noting that both Amber and Barnett have her blocked on social media. “So yeah, I handed them the gift and I didn’t expect this. Probably most awkward moment of my entire life. I’m just standing there, holding out this bag, and [Barnett] just wouldn’t grab the bag. It was quite embarrassing.”

Carlton, who does not appear to be in a relationship, made it clear he still isn’t on good terms with ex Diamond after taping After the Altar. “I am NOT going to continue talking about this because what is happening is unfair yet AGAIN. You all did NOT hear the things Diamond said to me. But continue to create this false narrative. Imagine always having to defend yourself knowing someone’s BIPHOBIA AND HOMOPHOBIA jumped right out! Enough is ENOUGH!” he wrote in July 2021 via Instagram, referring to the pair’s split over Carlton not telling Diamond he is bisexual.

Netflix’s After the Altar special left fans with burning questions about Giannina Gibelli, Damian Powers, Mark Cuevas and more Love Is Blind season 1 cast members.

More than one year after filming the reality series in 2018, fans met Giannina, Damian, Mark, Jessica Batten, Lauren Speed, Cameron Hamilton, Amber Pike, Matthew Barnett, Kelly Chase, Kenny Barnes, Diamond Jack and Carlton Morton when Love Is Blind started streaming in February 2020. While the show originally featured 30 men and women, only six couples formed outside of the “pods” — a.k.a. got engaged after talking through a wall and without seeing each other in person.

Diamond and Carlton were the first pairing to implode, not making it past the couple’s trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The remaining duos worked on their relationships until their respective wedding days, but only two couples — Lauren/Cameron and Amber/Barnett — exchanged vows.

During the first reunion special, which aired in March 2020, fans learned that Giannina and Damian got back together after he opted to leave her on their wedding day. When it came time to film the second reunion special, however, things were rocky as Damian was spotted out with Too Hot to Handle’s Francesca Farago in August 2020. He denied that there was anything romantic happening between the pair at the time.

“Over the past week, I have been in L.A. with my attorney, Alex Ion, pursuing new projects and business ventures. Francesca and I both share the same attorney,” Damian said in a statement, climbing that she “grabbed onto me in an attempt to shield herself from the paparazzi as our entire group entered the car.”

He added, ”Francesca and I are not dating or romantically involved but remain friends.”

Giannina stood by Damian at the time, preparing to celebrate their two-year dating anniversary in November 2020 at the party for Lauren and Cameron and Amber and Barnett captured for the After the Altar special. Things took a turn, however, when Damian brought Francesca to the bash

“My blood boils just thinking about that. I also wasn’t expecting to be treated that way either. You know, if you’re going to bring someone as a friend, then why am I the one being treated like the stranger?” Giannina, who confirmed she and Damian were over for good, told Entertainment Tonight in August 2021 after the three-episode special dropped.

While Francesca has yet to react to the After the Altar drama, Giannina told Insider that she reached out to her in recent weeks.

“I did DM her and say like, ‘Hey, hope all is well.’ Like, ‘Hope all is well and good luck,’” she said. “To me, DMing her was really me accepting that I’ve moved on so much that it doesn’t even bother me.”
