One Love Is Blind couple has confirmed they are back together during the reunion episode.
Over the last few weeks the unscripted Netflix series has become one of our not-so-guilty pleasures.
Basically, it involves a group of singletons who – in an effort to be loved for who are they are, rather than what they look like – sign up for an unconventional approach to dating: meeting the person they want to spend the rest of their life with, without ever seeing them.
After getting engaged, they meet for the first time – and then head back into the real world, where they see if they can turn their emotional connection into a physical one, as they plan their wedding day.
Last week’s finale saw the couples head to the altar and say I do (or I don’t) to their other half – you can find out the outcome here. However, in the year-or-so since the season was filmed, one of the couples who didn’t make it to the altar have since rekindled things.
Spoilers for the Love Is Blind reunion lie just beyond this point.
Damian and Giannina confirmed that they’re giving their relationship another go – this time, at a much slower pace.
“We are so together,” Gi told hosts Vanessa and Nick Lachey. “Like, every single day, waking up next to each other and going to the gym together. I don’t want to lose this, and I didn’t.”
She later explained that she respected Damian’s decision to say ‘I don’t’ on their wedding day, as where their relationship is now is “so right for us.”
“Where we can just date and he has his own place and I have my own place and we’re getting to know each other at our own pace. It’s so refreshing,” she said.
“[What happened at the wedding] hurt so much, but it was like ‘what can I do with that.'”
Damian added that as difficult as it was to say ‘no’ on their wedding day, he wouldn’t have been about to say yes.
“I wish I could take away the pain from her that day, and the hurt and the embarrassment to her friends and her family and I’m sorry to have ever put her through that,” he said. “I would stick by it again though, because of where we are not.”
