“After much thought, we’re saddened to share that we have separated and will begin the process of divorcing. While we have love for each other, our lives are going in different directions and that’s OK. Coming to this decision was far from easy and we will always wish each other the absolute best. We hope you all will give us some space as we close this chapter of our lives,” Iyanna and Jarrette wrote in their announcement post.” After thanking their friends and family for the support, and Netflix for giving them the opportunity to fall in love, Iyanna and Jarrette concluded by assuring fans they “don’t regret a single thing” about their unconventional love story.
Love Is Blind fans are disappointed to see these couples break up. From Season 1, Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton, and Amber Pike and Matthew Barnett, are still together.
