Um, Love Is Blind season 4 had two engagements we didn't get to see
Love Is Blind fans, please prepare yourself for some rather shocking news. The creator of the series, Chris Coelen, has revealed there was not one, but two, more engagements that happened in the pods in season four but we never got to see them.
Coelen told People season four cast members Jimmy Forde and Wendi Kong, and Josh "JP" Schultz and Ava Van Jenson got engaged during their time in the pods.
29-year-old Jimmy and 28-year-old Wendy were said to have bonded over their shared interests and similar career paths, with the pair both working in engineering.
Jimmy and Wendi continued to date after the experiment, however they broke up around three months later with Wendi deciding to end their relationship because they had "different perspectives" on dating. The pair are said to be on good terms.
The second pair to get engaged in the pods were 30-year-old JP and 32-year-old Ava. JP was said to be initially getting to know Ava, Chelsea and Micah, however after Chelsea and Micah decided to pursue things with Kwame and Paul, JP reportedly focused all his attention on Ava.
The couple got engaged, however shortly after leaving the experiment, JP reportedly ended their relationship over text, saying he wanted to take things slower and date. Ava reportedly saw this as the end of their relationship.
Since the news of their engagement was released Ava has taken to Instagram Stories to suggest it didn’t work out between the pair, hinting at the “shock” and hurt she was left feeling from their relationship.
She added, “I am so sorry to let my family and friends down who are now finally hearing about the news. Please know I will share my side of the story when I am able to do so." Ava also explained she is currently prioritising her mental health.
Chris Coelen has since explained why the two couples' journeys weren't included in the final cut of the show, saying they're always looking to show the most "authentic" storylines in Love Is Blind.
He added: "We may choose to follow some people for some part of the process and then not tell their story, or we may choose to follow certain people only through their reveal. It really just depends on the circumstances."
Coelen pointed out in previously seasons there have been other couples who got engaged and even went on the couples' retreat, that then weren't included in the final edit of the show.
He also said the couples that have got engaged over the years, but weren't shown on the series, usually break up pretty quickly after leaving the experiment.
"The thing I will say is we have never stopped following a couple who has gone on to get married. Almost a hundred percent of the couples that we have chosen to stop following have broken up relatively quickly. And if not, some of them fairly immediately, to be honest," Coelen explained.
Here's hoping Jimmy, Wendi, JP and Ava are all doing ok following their break ups.
