Izzy starred in Perfect Match season 2 after getting left at the altar by Stacy, reigniting interest in his personal life. He attempted to pursue Love Is Blind season 4’s Micah Lussier on the show to little success, embarrassingly slurring his words every step of the way. Stacy and Izzy’s relationship was always on the rocks, but after she discovered his undisclosed credit card debt, she couldn’t say yes in good conscience. Izzy started dating a Stacy look-alike, Shelby Webb, but the pair recently split amid cheating accusations. What happened to Stacy?
Stacy’s Journey On Love Is Blind Season 5
She And Izzy Clashed
Stacy’s journey on Love Is Blind season 5 was seen in detail due to the limited number of couples in the season. While Lydia and Milton made it out of the pods and ultimately tied the knot, the other pairs were not so lucky. Taylor Rue and J.T. Pierce split on their honeymoon after J.T.’s entire personality changed due to Taylor’s makeup, and Renee Poche and Carter Wall’s storyline was cut after accusations of harassment on set. Uche Okoroha and Aaliyah Cosby also seemed poised to get engaged, but Aaliyah left the pods after a string of red flags from Uche.
As a successful and confident woman with high standards set by her parents, Stacy was clear about what she wanted in a partner. She quickly established a connection with Izzy in the pods, drawn to his charm and the deep conversations they shared. Izzy, in turn, was captivated by Stacy’s confidence and how she understood him on a deeper level.
However, as the season progressed, cracks began to appear in their relationship, primarily centered around their conflicting lifestyles. Stacy, whose entire life seemed bankrolled by her dad, was concerned about Izzy’s financial situation, especially his undisclosed debt. Izzy wasn’t open about his past financial struggles, including lingering credit card debt, until just days before the wedding.
Stacy was right to reject Izzy because of their clashes in lifestyle, as financial issues are a leading cause of divorce.
Stacy’s family had reservations about Izzy despite her happiness. “Love wants to fly first class,” her dad famously said to Izzy in a conversation on the front porch. Regardless of what she told Izzy, Stacy had certain lifestyle expectations that he would not be able to meet.
On their wedding day, Stacy’s doubts culminated in a heartbreaking decision. At the altar, Stacy chose not to marry Izzy. She expressed that while she loved him, she wasn’t confident they were ready for marriage, given their unresolved issues. Izzy didn’t take the news well, saying he believed love should be like the movie, Titanic. They broke up after the finale.
