I think we can all agree that Love Is Blind was a beautiful mess that none of us could stop watching.

The three-week Netflix special followed five main couples on their journey from strangers to spouses in just 10 episodes. In the gripping series finale, we found out which pairings actually followed through to officially become husband and wife.

While Jessica and Mark, Gigi and Damian and Ken and Kelly said “I don’t”, lovebirds Lauren and Cameron and Amber and Barnett did actually tie the knot. However, we now know that the series was filmed a whole 16 months ago — in October and November of 2018.

That means that all the contestants on the show have had to hide their relationships for well over a year. So, we actually have no clue if anyone really had their happily ever after. Does Barnett stay with Amber despite all her growing debts? Do Gigi and Damian rekindle their romance after her brutal rejection at the altar? Does everyone’s new royal couple, Lauren and Cameron, break our hearts or stay together forever?

Well, fear not. Netflix has announced that a reunion special will be airing this Thursday to answer all of your burning questions. Hosted by Vanessa and Nick Lachey, the hour-long reunion will air on the Netflix YouTube channel, not the streaming platform like other episodes.

If the photo of the reunion is anything to go by then oh, boy, we’re in for a ripper show. Look at how Jessica is death-staring the very-happy looking Amber and Barnett. Then notice the considerable distance between Jessica and her ex-fiancé, Mark. Ken and Kelly also don’t look too cozy, but Gigi and Damian are actually sitting quite close — which is interesting considering how much the pair hated each other at the end of the series finale.

This could be a sign that the couple might actually be back together when you pair it with the similar Instagram photos Gigi and Damian have uploaded in recent months. Lauren and Cameron have also been caught out by Love Is Blind super-fans who have picked up on similar hints left on Instagram, like cheekily uploading photos in each others houses.

Also, your eyes don’t deceive you. Explosive “couple” Carlton and Diamond are back and, understandably, sitting very far apart from each other. If you don’t remember, the last we saw of the couple was in Mexico, where Diamond threw her ring in the pool and Carlton called Diamond’s wig total trash.

As expected, Love Is Blind fans are just really excited for a “Where Are They Now?” on all their favourite and least-favourite couples.

The ‘Love Is Blind’ reunion special will air on March 5th on the Netflix YouTube channel.
