In addition to the seven couples featured on Love Is Blind season 10, there was another couple, Elissa Finley and Miguel Lopez, who got engaged in the pods but their story never made it to air. Elissa revealed that she accepted Miguel's proposal, but shortly after the reveal he told her he was moving to Florida, ending their relationship.

Why it matters

The revelation of this unseen couple highlights how much of the Love Is Blind experience happens off-camera and the challenges faced by contestants who don't make the final cut for the show. It also raises questions about the show's casting process and whether all potential couples are given equal consideration.

Elissa, 39, said she felt more chemistry with Miguel, 32, than with her original match, Jordan Faeth. After getting engaged, Elissa claimed that she and Miguel planned to continue dating in Ohio, but he then blindsided her by saying he was moving to Florida. Elissa said she hasn't spoken to Miguel since that day and now believes she "dodged a bullet" with him.
