What they’re saying

“I'm honestly surprised this is the first season where nobody got married. While we're always rooting for our participants to find a lifelong commitment — because that's what they all say they come to Love is Blind for — most importantly, we root for them to make the decisions they feel are right for themselves.”

— Chris Coelen, Creator, Love Is Blind

“I think it's great therapy almost for us. We said this before that watching these couples, and specifically in pods, watching the way they connect, it's a great reminder to never lose that communication in your own relationship.”

— Nick Lachey

What’s next

Fans will have to tune in on February 11, 2026 to see if any of the Ohio-based singles find love in the pods.

The takeaway

Love Is Blind's expansion to Ohio for its tenth season signals the continued popularity of the unique dating format and Netflix's commitment to the show. The new cast from across the Buckeye State will bring a fresh dynamic to the series, offering viewers a new perspective on the search for true love.
