‘Love Is Blind’ Stars Johnny McIntyre and Amy Cortes: A Timeline of Their Relationship

Johnny McIntyre and Amy Cortés found love inside the Love Is Blind pods.

“He had mentioned [early on] that he really came into this experience to kind of grow as a person, not having marriage be the main end goal, but that if it happened, it happened,” Amy exclusively told Us Weekly before season 6 started airing in February 2024. “So that was kind of like, I didn't know if it was the best and I wasn't trying to build a man.”

She continued, “After multiple conversations, I truly got a sense of who he was and obviously a connection was forming, and so I just felt like it was definitely a very genuine connection, and so just kind of went with the flow of everything.”

Amy and Johnny’s bond grew and they got engaged sight unseen. They were the only season 6 couple to get married in the March 2024 finale.

A Pod Bond Unlike Any Other

Johnny and Amy were both cast on season 6 of Love Is Blind when the Netflix experiment brought the pods to Charlotte, North Carolina, in March 2023. Soon enough, they found a sweet connection with one another.

“I was the alternate coming into this so I had no idea what to expect,” Johnny said on The Jennifer Hudson Show in March 2024. “But, I knew I wanted to just be myself, try to do everything I possibly could to find love and it worked out pretty well for me.”

A Sight Unseen Engagement

After bonding in the pods, Johnny became the first Love Is Blind man to pop the question.

“Will you please make me the happiest man alive and spend the rest of your life with me and marry me?” he asked as Amy tearfully said yes.

Blending Lives and Figuring Out Intimacy

Amy and Johnny quickly found out their real lives were complementary after they finally met. They, however, had a massive hurdle to overcome: Differing beliefs over family planning. The couple did not consummate their romance during their engagement as Amy was not on birth control. Johnny, meanwhile, did not want to get a vasectomy. (Johnny had wanted to be more financially stable before having a baby.)

“[It] was a really big thing that we talked about multiple times,” Johnny told Us. “We wanted to make sure we’re on the same page. Me really not knowing a lot about birth control, contraceptives, things of that nature made it difficult to really have a good conversation right away because I was uninformed.”

They Do!

Both Amy and Johnny’s families approved of the union, making their wedding day decision even easier. The duo both opted to get married and they sealed their nuptials with a kiss.

Reunion Love

Amy and Johnny caught up with their castmates during the season 6 reunion in March 2024, revealing that they “figured” out their family plans and that Amy had started taking birth control.

1 Year Down

The couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary in May 2024 by sharing pics from their big day via social media. “I used to always think marriage was going to be hard and it isn’t — life is hard, and wow do you make it easy,” Amy wrote in a sweet Instagram tribute. “Your ability to calm my anxiety and make me feel protected + truly and entirely loved is something i thought i would never find. your loving, charming, kind, funny, supportive and selfless soul is one of a kind and I am so lucky to be your wife - and as i said a year ago today, boy do i love your soul 🥹.”

Johnny, for his part, called their first year of marriage “the most amazing one in my life” in his own lengthy Instagram post. “I love you so much more than you will ever know Amy and I’m so happy that I get the rest of my life to try and show you,” he added.
